Overview: You will find several verses in this week\u2019s lessons that are very familiar to you. You may have even memorized them. These include Romans 3:23, 5:8, 6:23 and others. Paul spends a lot of time in these chapters teaching the Romans about faith. Sometimes it seems that we are reading the same things over and over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A main message that Paul wanted to get across was that you cannot earn your salvation. You cannot save yourself by what you suppose are your good works. Also, we cannot pay for our salvation after we are saved. There is a large portion of his focus on faith\/God\u2019s grace and not works. Although Paul also goes to great effort to make sure that the Christians he was speaking to knew that God wants us to live in a way to glorify God. The way we live our lives is proof of what has happened in our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
