Sermon Outline: 10.30.22 Series: God’s Gospel Romans 3:27-31 The application of salvation... Changes Our BOASTING Romans 3:27-28 “Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. We say that people are proud of being rich, or clever, or good-looking, but they are not. They are proud of being richer, or cleverer, or better-looking than others. If everyone else became equally rich, or clever, or good-looking there would be nothing to be proud about. It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest.” ~C.S. Lewis Phil 3:3-8 “We only exclude boasting when we realize that our best achievements have done nothing to justify us! To boast in them is like a drowning man clutching a fistful of hundred-dollar bills and shouting: I’m OK! I’ve got money!” ~Tim Keller Changes Our VIEW OF OTHERS Romans 3:29-30 Galatians 6:14 “You won’t celebrate the righteousness you’ve been given if you are busy polishing the righteousness you think you independently have.” ~Paul Tripp Changes Our OBEDIENCE Romans 3:31 “The gospel upholds the law by demonstrating that law-breaking is so serious that it brings death and judgment; and that law-keeping is so fundamental that no one can pass through judgment without it being kept on their behalf. The law is upheld in Christ’s life and his death, not nullified.” ~Tim Keller
