Romans 3:21-26

I am so excited about this passage today!  What a joy is has been to commit this to memory!

Read carefully and let the word of God penetrate your heart:

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it - the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Praise God!!  We who believe are no longer separated from him!  We are justified by the blood of Jesus. We need only have faith! I am a sinner saved by the grace of God and I have done nothing to earn this great salvation. It is a free gift! Isn't our God generous?
