Justified Freely by Grace

Receive God's good news: you are not righteous in yourself, but you are righteous in Jesus! Paul has been proving the point that all have sinned – that's a universal declaration. We are all falling short of the standard of God's holiness and perfection. No matter how high we get, it's never going to be high enough. We are justified freely by God's grace, through our Lord Jesus Christ. He gives it to us as an undeserved favor. He Himself paid the price for our freedom from slavery to sin and Satan. We were in slavery, without hope, and He rescued us. Christ gave up all and made Himself like nothing, so that He could pay for our freedom with His own blood. The beauty of the Gospel is that God sees us for what we truly are, and yet He still loves us and spared no cost to redeem us. This is good news! Rest in Jesus and let your heart be warmed and filled with joy and peace.
