The salient point of today’s sermon, delivered by Pastor Josh Massaro, centers on the profound necessity of understanding both our inherent need for a savior and the identity of that savior, Jesus Christ. As we delve into the third chapter of Romans, we are confronted with the stark reality that all humanity stands guilty before God, devoid of righteousness and incapable of achieving salvation through our own deeds. Pastor Massaro elucidates that justification is not earned by works, but rather is a divine declaration of righteousness bestowed upon those who embrace faith in Christ. This discourse invites us to reflect on our spiritual condition, emphasizing that true understanding of God necessitates a recognition of our sinfulness and the unparalleled grace manifested through Jesus. As we ponder these truths, we are urged to align our lives with the transformative power of faith, which alone can redeem and restore.
