“But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished — he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.”
Romans 3:21-26 (NIV)
Do these verses warm your heart?
Is there a sense of gratitude to your Lord rising up within?
Praise His Name - give thanks to your Saviour!
For you have received righteousness through faith in Christ.
We should memorize these verses.
We should know them by heart.
Would these not be good verses to have on your lips as you lie on your deathbed?
Would these verses not bear much fruit in our lives if we recited them with our breakfast?
As we memorize them and as we recite them throughout our lives, let us remember Paul’s reminder in verse 31
- Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
