Righteousness Through Faith
Romans 3:21-28
Righteousness Through Faith
21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement,[a] through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. 28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law.
Bee's Thoughts:
ALL HAVE SINNED. Yes, no exception. Thank God that though all, including me, have sinned He has paid the penalty of sin so that we may live when we accept Christ. We need the blood of Christ to cleanse us daily.
Dear Lord,
Thank You for Your cleansing blood that washes me white as snow. May I share this good news with people around me that they too can experience Your forgiveness too.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
