Book of Romans - Chapter 3 - Verse 27

3:27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Meaning

Paul's rhetorical question in this verse challenges the idea of boasting in one's own works for salvation. He emphasizes that boasting is excluded when it comes to justification before God. Instead of relying on works or following a set of rules, Paul asserts that the law of faith is the key. This means that salvation is not achieved through human effort or merit, but through faith in Jesus Christ. By emphasizing the law of faith, Paul is highlighting the importance of having a personal relationship with God based on trust and belief. This verse serves as a reminder that our boast should be in the grace of God and the work of Christ on our behalf, rather than in our own accomplishments or efforts.
