The Faithfulness of God (Romans 3:1-8)
Andy King, 17 February 2019
Part of the In Christ Alone series, Sunday Morning service
In Romans 3 we see another picture of Paul’s Theology to the young and diverse Church. A picture of God’s faithfulness that would have a powerful impact on the Jewish Christians in particular. But what will our response be in light of a God who remains faithful and with a recognition of our ongoing unfaithfulness? Will we choose to strive for righteousness and faithfulness, or remain as we are?

Romans 3:1–8 (Listen)
3:1 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? 2 Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. 3 What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? 4 By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written,
“That you may be justified in your words,
and prevail when you are judged.”
5 But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.) 6 By no means! For then how could God judge the world? 7 But if through my lie God’s truth abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner? 8 And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
