The Righteousness of Faith

There will be no unrighteousness in heaven. Therefore, only those who are righteous will go there. Paul has established the fact that "the is none righteous, no, not one" (3:10). All the world is guilty before God (3:19). Beginning in Romans 3:21, Paul introduced to us the way a person can be declared righteous. He has introduced several terms: Grace: God's unmerited favor Righteousness: God's standard of perfection Redemption: a price that is paid Justification: a judicial act of declaring debts forgiven Propitiation: satisfaction that a debt has been paid
