Primary Scripture: Romans 1:16-17
BIG IDEA: God imparts Christ’s righteousness to us by faith.
Message Focus: Righteousness is a healthy relationship with God based on His standards. Jesus is righteous by His nature as God (so is the Father and the Spirit). No matter what we do in and of ourselves, we can’t be righteous. The only way we can receive righteousness is through trusting God’s plan for salvation: the work of Jesus.
