FAITH: Comes by Hearing the Word of God
Romans 3:5–6: But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.) Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world?
FAITH: Comes by Studying the Word of God
The apostle then pursued his argument with additional questions. Could they conclude that God’s wrath on Jews is therefore unjust? Paul immediately interjected, I am using a human argument, and responded with the answer, Certainly not! If that were the case, that God were unfair in judging unfaithful Jews, then He would be barred from judging the world. And of course, that could not be. So, since God will judge the world, He will not be unfair in extending His wrath on guilty Jews. 1
