The Big Idea: In a world full of competing voices, we are called to let God—not culture—shape our hearts and minds.
Four foundational truths we need to remember to defend against the world’s lies:
From what are we saved?
→ God’s wrath against sin (Romans 1:15-20, 28–32)
How are we saved?
→ By grace through faith in Jesus Christ not our works (Romans 2:5-8, 3:9-12, 20–26)
How can we have peace with God?
→ Through faith in Christ we are justified and reconciled to God (Romans 5:1–2, 8-10)
Why does this matter?
→ We are freed from God’s wrath and given the gift eternal life (Romans 6:17–23)
15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” Romans 1:15-17
