Romans 3:22-24 NIV
This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
10/19/06-10/21/06
True righteousness comes from God alone by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. This clearly precludes any merit or works on our part. Salvation is purely the gift of God. We are “justified freely by His grace” because the price of redemption – our ransom, the punishment of our sin – has already been paid by Jesus Christ in His suffering and death on the cross. The price for our sin having been paid, God is now able of His grace to freely justify all who believe. God placed our sin on Christ the sinless lamb and has placed the righteousness of His Son, Jesus, upon us – that we may be holy and blameless in His sight.
There is no difference between peoples when it comes to a need and the means of salvation. Since all have sinned and missed God’s perfect standard of righteousness then all are in need of salvation and there is only one way to be saved.
