SCRIPTURE
Romans 1:16-17;
3:22b-28
16 For I
am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone
who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it
the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written,
"The one who is righteous will live by faith."
3:22 the righteousness of God through
faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction, 23
since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; 24 they are
now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by his
blood, effective through faith. He did this to show his righteousness, because
in his divine forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed; 26
it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he
justifies the one who has faith in Jesus. 27 Then what becomes of
boasting? It is excluded. By what law? By that of works? No, but by the law of
faith. 28 For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from
works prescribed by the law.
