Romans Chapter 3 Vs. 28

 

The Righteousness of God Through Faith

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Rom 3:28

we conclude that...

Doing works (i.e., observing the Law) is no basis for boasting for the Law cannot justify. It was not given for that purpose (cf. Rom. 3:20). The apostle then summarized, For we maintain (the verb logizometha, “to reckon,” here has the idea of coming to a settled conclusion) that a man is justified (“declared righteous”) by faith (cf. Rom. 3:22, 3:25-27) apart from observing the Law (lit., “apart from works of Law”).

Keeping the ordinances of the law will not do away with sin and will not save anyone. Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

To find out what faith can do for you and did do for many (read all of Hebrews chapter 11).

This verse is a summary of what Paul has written in Romans 3:21–27. It also serves as a useful, concise proof that our salvation is not, in any sense, dependent on good deeds, rituals, sacraments, or other behaviors.
