Devotionals 2020 The Root of Righteousness Week Nine
It is made clear in Romans 3:21-26 that True Righteousness is God’s Righteousness through faith. Listen to Paul's words as inspired by the Holy Spirit: But now apart from the Law (works) the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the Justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus! Faith in Jesus is key. It is a free gift by God’s Grace. This is God's Righteousness and it is our gift of love from God to all who believe. Amen!
