The Righteousness of God through Faith
May 31, 2026
Overview & Insights
"For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law." (Romans 3:28)
Paul announces that the righteousness of God has now been revealed apart from the law and is received through faith in Jesus Christ. Since all have sinned, all are justified freely by grace through the redemption that is in Christ.
