Sermon title: "God the Just and Justifier"
Sermon texts: Psalm 85:1-3; Romans 3:21-31

Abstract: God is not only just and righteous but is “the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus” (v 26). He himself satisfied his righteous wrath against sinners by sending his own Son to cover our sins by his blood. All our justification was accomplished by God through Christ. We have no part in any way in it. Therefore, Paul says to the Jews and to all of us, “Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded” (v 27). No one can boast that his “good works” contributed to his salvation. It is all of God and his Son our Lord Jesus Christ.
