A BOAST-FREE GOSPELA BOAST-FREE GOSPEL
Paul has already outlined in Romans 3:21-26 that salvation is a gift from God to all who have faith in Christ Jesus. In verses 27-31, Paul takes that assertion to its conclusion: we must boast in nothing in ourselves because only Christ’s work on the cross saves. Pastor Daniel Montgomery unpacks this truth: if we could do any work to save ourselves, salvation would no longer be a gift but something we purchase. But salvation is a gift so pride in anything but Christ is hollow and damaging. Since believers must boast in Christ alone, there are no distinctions between us and we can be reconciled to each other.
