“Right With God – Foundations of Faith” – A Short Study Series
Part 1: Justified – Declared Clean
Focus: What justification means, how it happens, and why it matters.
Key Scripture: Romans 5:1 – “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Key Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:21 – “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us…”
Themes:
- Our righteousness comes from Christ, not from self.
- Identity shift: from sinner to child of God.
- Living in confidence—not arrogance, but security.
Part 3: Walking Worthy – Living from Grace
Focus: Now that we’re justified and made righteous, how do we live?
Key Scripture: Titus 3:5–7 – “He saved us… so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs…”
Themes:
- Living out what’s already true of us.
