Romans 3:22-24 (CSB)
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.
We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The Apostle Paul explains in this verse that only by believing and having faith in Jesus Christ can we be made righteous before God and be saved from God’s wrath. Jesus paid the price for our sins with His own death on the cross. None of us can earn God’s glory, we can only be made righteous in God’s sight by having faith and believing in Jesus Christ. God’s righteousness is only given to us by grace through having faith in Jesus’ death on the cross, His burial and His Resurrection, for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
Dear God,
Thank you that you have redeemed us and made us righteous in your sight by the death, burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. That all who have faith and believe in Jesus Christ are forgiven, made righteous and are saved. Thank you for your grace and mercy, and thank you for our salvation and eternal life, made possible through having faith and believing in Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
