—Romans 3:19-31
by: Lisa Moore.
The world would have us believe we can be good people if we do good things. Scripture teaches us otherwise. When we measure ourselves against the only true standard, God’s Law, we are all guilty. But our freedom from the penalty of sin was purchased with the blood of Christ. Verse 25 describes our redemption this way, “This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins” (ESV). God’s righteousness is revealed in Christ and through His divine mercy, we who deserve death are forgiven through faith in Him. Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord!
