Romans 3

In Romans 3, Paul points out that Jesus is for everyone. All have sinned and fall short of God's great glory and all of humanity needs Jesus desperately. Everyone is unrighteous apart from Jesus and His grace in our lives. Jesus doesn't make us righteous, He gives us His righteousness. As we grow in faith and love Him more and more each day, He does a work in us that makes us more and more like Him. We still aren't righteous, but we are justified by our Justifier, our Savior, by faith. Jesus gave up His life to give us His life. He purchased freedom for us. It's up to us to humbly surrender, repent, and choose His freedom, His redemption, His restoration, and HIs eternal righteousness.
