Romans 4: The End of Boasting | Shawn Stone
​​​​​​
Life runs on scoreboards. Followers, funding, fitness, career wins—we measure everything. From childhood we’re taught the same lesson: produce, perform, prove yourself. If your score is high enough, you matter. If not… try harder.
But what if the gospel completely shatters that system?
​
This Sunday we were in Romans 4 and the story of Abraham—a man who had more spiritual accomplishments than almost anyone in history. If anyone could boast before God, it was him. Yet Scripture says something shocking: “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
​
Not earned. Not achieved. Credited.
​
Paul shows us that our standing with God doesn’t come from our performance, but from faith in what Jesus has done. Salvation isn’t a wage God owes—it’s a gift God gives.
​
If you’re tired of trying to measure up, come hear the good news: in the gospel, the scorekeeping ends—and we discover the only boast that can actually save. Tune into this week’s message titled, “The End of Boasting”.
