Romans 3

Faith does not nullify the law, rather faith upholds the law. The whole world is held accountable to God by the law. Every mouth is silenced because we are unable to keep the law. Through the law we become conscious of sin.

But now, praise God, you, father, reveal to those who are yours a righteousness provided through Christ apart from the law. You make this righteous way known to us, and your word and your prophets testify to its truth.

Your righteousness, father, comes to me through faith and belief in Jesus as your Christ and as my Lord and Savior. This way of faith is the same for everyone.

There is no other way for all have sinned and fall short of your glory, father. However, even so, I am justified freely by your grace through faith in the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
