GOD’s RIGHTEOUSNESS SAVES
GOD’s RIGHTEOUSNESS SAVES
But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, attested by the Law and the Prophets. The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe, since there is no distinction. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God presented him as the mercy seat by his blood, through faith, to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his restraint God passed over the sins previously committed. God presented him to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so that he would be just and justify the one who has faith in Jesus.

How did GOD reveal HIS Righteousness? HE made a way.
The must come through Jesus!
to ALL who believe!!!!!
NO distinction. It don’t matter who you are just who you put your faith and trust in.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;
This verse gets a bad rap.
but when you look at it in context it show the love of GOD.
It shows that no one is more or less deserving of the grace of GOD.
they are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
who is the THEY in this verse?
Justified? paid
Redemption? REDEMPTION The release of people, animals, or property from bondage through the payment of a price.
God presented him as the mercy seat by his blood, through faith, to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his restraint God passed over the sins previously committed.

ATONEMENT The means of reconciliation between God and people.
So Jesus came to bring reconciliation between GOD and us. Praise GOD!
“If that doesn’t get you fire going your wood is wet”
in HIS restraint. playing with the boys
God presented him to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so that he would be just and justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
GOD present Jesus on the cross to demonstrate HIS righteousness.
Jesus justified us while staying just.
Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By one of works? No, on the contrary, by a law of faith. For we conclude that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
No boasting, why?
You didn’t do anything to bring atonement for your sin.
“a person is justified by faith”
Jesus wants to justified all!!
Do we keep sinning? NO!!!
