It's time for us to start. Just keep eating. We're on live and for those watching us, joining us wherever you are around the world.

Welcome. We love having you be apart with us please continue to

email us let us know that that you're out there and that you're watching and if you

have any questions we're at the end of this session we're going to have a

Q&A and we'd love for you to be a part and so just email us whatever question you

might have and we'd love to include you in our study as we can.

So let me just begin in a word of prayer. Father as always we are totally dependent upon your

grace to enable us to understand your word rightly. Thank you that you've given us a new

mind and that you've put your Holy Spirit within us and he is

our teacher and I pray that you would cause your word in Romans to be clear, plain to our understanding and

move us to live it for your glory in Christ's name. Amen.

This is a major doctrine in the Bible.

In fact, Luther, Calvin, the reformers,

So we are majoring on majors to be in a lockdown mode here on justification by faith alone.

And to this point, we have looked at two major paragraphs

under justification by faith.

We're now moving to the third major paragraph.
