Romans 3:20-24
20Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.
Righteousness Through Faith
21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Paul is speaking the gospel to the Romans. We are all under the law, and we have broken the law, yet we go unpunished. A loving God has given his Son to take that punishment for us, that through grace, we may be redeemed.
Every time I hear of this good news, it lifts me up to know that I am redeemed. God has paid the price for my sin. I am free. In doing so, the great grace that has been upon me leads me in awe of God.
Father God, you are so good. I thank you. I lift You up in glory. I give you all the praise. I give you all the worship, because you deserve it. I pray that this good news of redemption be spilled over in my life to those that need to hear about it. Allow me to overflow by the grace of God. I pray this in Jesus name.
Amen.
