2023-09-10 Jim Swanson – The Righteousness of God Through Faith
September 10, 2023
21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 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.

Because man cannot become righteous on his own, God graciously provided for his redemption through the atoning sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus Christ.
