What if you could know with confidence that God truly loves you—and that your salvation is secure? In this message from Romans 5:6–11, we explore how the cross and resurrection provide unshakable proof of God’s love. Long before we had our lives together, Christ died for us. Because of His finished work, we move from fear to assurance and from guilt to joy. Discover how the gospel gives believers lasting security and deep, unshakable hope.

In Romans 5, Paul tells us the result of being justified by faith in Jesus Christ: perfect peace. For the believer, peace with God is an objective reality, not a subjective feeling. With justification, God moves us from wrath to peace, from judgement to grace, from hopeless to hopeful, and from shame to love.

In Romans 4, Paul calls Abraham and David as witnesses to prove that sinners are justified by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Abraham wasn’t saved by works, law, or ritual, but by believing God’s promise, and his faith was credited as righteousness. Saving faith is trusting God’s power and Christ’s finished work, not human effort. Because Jesus died and rose again, all who believe are instantly declared righteous before God.

In part two of this message from Romans 3:27–31, we continue to see how Paul confronts pride and division by reminding the church in Rome of the gospel. No one can boast, because we bring nothing but our need. The ground at the foot of the cross is level. Everyone comes to salvation the same way--by grace through faith through Jesus. That is the beauty of Romans 3:27–31. It takes proud people and humbles them, unites them, sends them, and transforms them. All for the glory of God.

After spending the first three chapters of Romans leveling the ground beneath every human being and confirming that there is no one righteous, Paul says this realization that salvation is by faith alone and we can't earn it on our own, it leaves us silent before God with no room to boast. When God gave His only Son on Calvary's cross to make the way for us to have a right relationship with Him, how dare we think we can earn it any other way.
