If God's forgiveness makes Him look good, shouldn't we sin even more so He can show off? This one-off message on Romans 3:1-8 tackles the temptation to rationalize sin, as well as the gift of God's Word and God's reliability.

If God's forgiveness makes Him look good, shouldn't we sin even more so He can show off? 

This one-off message focuses on Romans 3:1-8 and a string of fascinating questions the Apostle Paul answers from a group of Jewish Christians he had just rebuked. One in particular, whether or not they should sin more so God's grace would become even more apparent, brought a strong response from Paul!

This message teaches students three things in particular:
1) that God's words are a gift, 
2) that God is reliable, 
3) rationalizing sin is a trap.

Primary Scripture Used: Romans 3:1-8, 2 Timothy 2:11-13, James 2:14-15
