Weekly Devotional - December 4th

Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one. Do we then nullify the Law through faith? Far from it! On the contrary, we establish the Law.

Romans 3:29-31

This addresses another theme of Paul’s letter, the equality of all types of people before a Holy God exists because of the faith He alone has given them. The final note Paul makes in this chapter is that even though the Law has no role in justification, that does not mean it has no role at all. Christians are to uphold God’s moral law as having been fulfilled by Christ through God’s mercy and grace.
