The Essence of Righteousness

All Saints Presbyterian Church

This sermon explores the foundational truth that righteousness comes through faith in Jesus Christ, not through human efforts. Drawing from Romans 10:1-13, it emphasises Paul's assertion that salvation requires two responses: faith in one's heart and confession with one's mouth. Jonathan reflects on historical perspectives, such as Martin Luther's transformation upon understanding Romans 1:17, and considers modern challenges Christians face in confessing Christ openly. The sermon underscores that true belief in the resurrection compels an outward declaration of faith, aligning one's life with the lordship of Christ. Through personal and biblical illustrations, the message invites believers to examine the depth of their commitment and encourages boldness in confessing Jesus as Lord.
