Jesus fulfills the law: Saved by faith

Romans 3:21-25a | But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. 

  • Why can’t we be saved by keeping the law? 

  • According to this passage, how are we saved (declared right in God’s sight) instead? 

  • Why must we believe in Jesus' death, not just His life, for salvation? 

  • Why was Jesus’ death, and shedding of blood, required for our salvation?
