A Priceless Inheritance
Series: Romans
In Romans 4:13-17, Paul shows us two mutually exclusive ways of entering into a right relationship with God - It is either by our obedience to the Law, or by faith. There is no other alternative, and only one of those two choices actually works. Paul essentially shows us that you can't get to heaven by obeying God. You can only get to heaven by believing God.
It is by faith we receive God's gracious promise of a priceless inheritance.

But (spoiler alert), the good news yet to come is that – confirmed sinners can be saved by Christ.We can’t save ourselves from the consequences of sin, but, Christ can!Romans 3:9-20July 18, 2021To watch the video of this message, click here.
