“ Great difference. ”
Very clear presentation of the teaching of these verses, which reveal that the Gospel Paul preached differs from the "Gospel" many preachers preach today. Very clear and biblical explanation of what the righteousness of God means and what it means to be saved by faith in Christ.

“ Powerful Sermon! ”
Dr. Cairns calls these verses a keynote passage and a vital part of Scripture, indeed the Gospel in a nutshell. His preaching here is aimed at the truly convicted sinner. Those who can perceive the righteousness of God apart from the Law, but can receive the Law of Faith. You are not saved on account of your faith, but on the righteousness of the merits of Christ the Son. This message reaches the sinner. If you haven't yet perceived your wretched estate of sin, then, is your focus of faith truly on Christ Crucified.?? Surely a godly message.

“ Apostasy and preaching the Gospel. ”
An excellent exposition on this section of Romans. Yes, apostasy is thriving in the 'church' today. We must respond with the truth. True reformed evangelical churches must take to the streets and preach the gospel. It is no good just preaching it in the pulpit to the converted. If any church fails to preach the true gospel to the unbelievers who otherwise might be seduced by the apostate churches, then that church will be failing in its duty as a watchman. Here in the United Kingdom the amount of men of God who dare to preach on the streets is like finding a needle in the hay stack. Surely Jesus was right when He spake 'Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels'. (Mark 8:38) Let us be reminded by the opening words of Revelation 21:8 'But the fearful....'. By fearful, this speaks of the cowards who head the list which includes the unbelieving, the idolators,murderers and so on. Look at the result. I implore men who profess Jesus Christ to be their Lord and Saviour to stand up for Christ and lift up His name in the public preaching of the gospel. I found it very frightening at first and am still very nervous when I go out, as indeed do my brothers. But we rest assured that we are doing exactly what the Lord God would have us to do. We look not for results, our preaching is only foolishness, but the gospel is powerful to save and we are assured that His word shall never return to Him void. Amen
