BUT NOW

The Two Most Important Words in the Gospel

History turns on moments nobody sees coming: a wireless signal ignored by the Titanic, a vaccine that arrives from outside a disease, or a piece of paper posted on a wall that ends centuries of bondage.

In the book of Romans, the Apostle Paul spends two relentless chapters building a case that admits no exceptions and offers no escape. He seals every exit, proving that "none is righteous" and that the Law can diagnose our condition but cannot cure it.

But Now.

In But Now: The Righteousness God Provides, author Aaron Gordon takes you through eleven of the most consequential verses ever written. This twelve-chapter study explores the "hinge of history"-the moment where God's own righteousness was manifested apart from the law to be received by all who believe.

• The Pivot of History: Why "But Now" marks a seam in the human story, moving from a terminal diagnosis to a miraculous provision.

• The Witness of the Past: How the Old Testament Law and Prophets-from Abraham to Isaiah-were always pointing toward the cross.

• The Verdict of Grace: What it means to be "justified freely"-a legal declaration of "righteous" rendered without cause in the recipient.

• The Cost of Redemption: A deep dive into the concept of propitiation and how the cross satisfies divine justice while expressing infinite mercy.

• The Death of Boasting: How the logic of grace excludes human pride and replaces it with the joy of worship.

Whether you are a longtime believer or exploring the Bible for the first time, this study is designed for anyone tired of trying to be "good enough". With clear theological insights, historical anecdotes, and practical reflection questions, But Now provides a roadmap to the heart of the Scripture-the message that God has provided what we could not produce.

The righteousness of God is not out of reach. It is here. For all who believe.
