We're on Romans 3
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
This verse is interesting to me because a lot of people misinterpret it to say that God will never put anything on us that we can't handle. This is clearly not true, since God will allow us to suffer as a means to bring us back to Him, much like a parent disciplines a child. God frequently allows us to have more than we can handle, so that we have to rely on Him to get us through it.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The response to people who try to use this verse to make God's wrath and judgement unjust, Romans answers:
Romans 3:5-8
But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking in human terms.) May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world? But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner? And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), "Let us do evil that good may come"? Their condemnation is just.
Romans 3:20b
for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
The Law, while not spiritually based, shows unbelievers that right and wrong exist.
Romans 3:23-24
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus
1 Peter 1:18-19
knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
Romans 3:27-28
Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.
Romans 3:31
Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
Lots of verses...hope some of you take time to read them. At the very least they're here for my review later.
