    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 6, 2024
     | 663 views

    This exposition of Romans 4:13-16 addresses the problem of trying to attain righteousness through good works. The law was given to expose our sinfulness and lead us to Christ for salvation. The deception of legalism is a problem that must be addressed.

    Intro Our text today is Romans 4:13-16: “It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is ...read more

     | 1,195 views

And understand that when he uses the term “Jew” here, Paul is using it generically to include physical and true Jew. Macarthur adds to the question ...read more
