Romans | The Shock of Liberating Grace - Romans 4.4-8 - Lex Loizides

In this sermon, Lex Loizides thoroughly examines Romans 4.4-8, providing a profound understanding of the liberating grace that is offered through faith in Jesus Christ. He delves into the comparison between the dignity and futility of work and its relation to our salvation, stressing that while work is valuable in our earthly lives, it is entirely futile when it comes to attaining salvation (Romans 4.4-5), as it is a gift of grace we receive through faith alone. In conclusion, Loizides emphasises that our acceptance by God is not a product of our efforts, but rather a response to our faith in Him; thus, he urges listeners to place their trust in God’s liberating grace, a gift that not only forgives our sins but also attributes righteousness to us (Romans 4.7-8). This gospel of grace challenges our human understanding of reward for effort, yet it is this very counterintuitive truth that we are urged to embrace and share with the world.
