THE GOSPEL FOUNDATION
READ
“21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.25 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—26 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
THINK
We see quickly in verse 23 that all human beings are what?
Verses 24 & 25 tell us that “redemption” and forgiveness of that sin come as a result of Who? And as a result of what?
We as humans can take hold of this forgiveness how?
And then in verse 26 it tells us that we can be justified or made acceptable by what?
