DAD'S RAMBLINGS – God's Righteousness Revealed
Romans 3:21-22, 24-26
"But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed ... through faith in Christ, to all and on all who believe, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God has set forth as a propitiation [appeasement] by His blood through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness ... to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."
God's righteous judgement was revealed and demonstrated in Christ – the sinless One who took the punishment for sin by His sacrificial appeasement of God's holy judgment on sin. Now God's righteousness is demonstrated by the grace He has bestowed on all who believe in Jesus. I am righteous, not because I never sin, but because God, in His grace, has placed His righteousness on me because of my faith in Christ's redemptive work on the cross. I am a righteous sinner – a sinner saved by grace.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: God is just and demands payment for sin, but He is also the justifier of those who believe in Jesus.
Have a righteous day.
