Justification Proved I

At Romans 4, we start 6 weeks of grappling with the idea of justification. Christian justification sits at the foundation of salvation and sits in opposition to all other religions and worldviews. Only the justification found in the cross breaks the bondage of justification by our own works that we have always saddled ourselves with. David found that he couldn't cover his sin on his own and Abraham was unable to covenant with God, but through God's own work, their faith was counted to them as righteousness.
