You’re Not All That (But You Are)

Noel Heikkinen

Romans 3:21-31

We tend to treat ourselves as the ultimate idol in our lives, bragging about who we are and what we’ve accomplished. How do you view yourself and talk about what you’ve done? Pastor Noel Jesse Heikkinen points us to God’s expectations for us and how we all miss them miserably. We don’t fulfill the Law by trying to obey it, we uphold the Law by placing our faith in Jesus alone. When we truly believe that all the work of salvation has been accomplished by Jesus, we can let go, knowing that we’ve been set free.

We brag because we truly believe we are all that or we truly believe we must be all that.

Righteousness: conformity to a certain set of expectations, which vary from role to role. Righteousness is fulfillment of the expectations in any relationship, whether with God or other people.

We brag because we truly believe we have met a certain set of expectations, which vary from role to role- or we truly believe we must meet a certain set of expectations, which vary from role to role.

But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, attested by the Law and the Prophets. The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe, since there is no distinction. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God presented him as the mercy seat by his blood, through faith, to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his restraint God passed over the sins previously committed. God presented him to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so that he would be just and justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
Romans 3:21-26

Righteousness: conformity to a certain set of expectations, which vary from role to role. Righteousness is fulfillment of the expectations in any relationship, whether with God or other people.

Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By one of works? No, on the contrary, by a law of faith.
Romans 3:27

We brag because we truly believe we are all that or we truly believe we must be all that.

When you start your journey toward idolatry, you become the subject of all the verbs.

Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By one of works? No, on the contrary, by a law of faith. For we conclude that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
Romans 3:27-31
