REVIEW OF DOCTRINES IN ROMANS II

4. THE DOCTRINE OF FAITH

a) Faith in contrast to works

By the deeds of the law no flesh shall be justified in His sight (Romans 3:20)

b) Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ

Even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 3:22)

c) Faith in the propitiation of God by the blood of Christ

The redemption that is in Christ Jesus
Whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith (Romans 3:24-25)

d) Faith in God as the Justifier

That He might be just and the justifier of the one
Who has faith in Jesus (Romans 3:26)

e) The law of faith (Romans 3:27)

But to him who does not work but believes on Him
who justifies the ungodly,
his faith is accounted to him for righteousness (Romans 4:5)

Therefore, it is of faith that it might be
according to grace (Romans 4:16)
