Romans 3; John 1; Romans 3

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We cannot make up for that by deeds of the law. No flesh can be justified in your sight, Father, by our good deeds. The law gives us knowledge of sin, but it is not the cure for sin.

Your provision for curing sin is to justify those who live by faith, by your grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

You, Heavenly Father, set forth Jesus as a propitiation, by his sacrifice, for my sins and for all who believe and receive Jesus as the Lord of their lives.

Jesus, through living faith, is my righteousness, and that righteousness is eternal and fully pleasing to you, Father. You, Father, through Christ, pass over my sins and demonstrate your righteousness. You are just, and you are the justifier of all who have faith in Christ Jesus.

So, I have nothing to boast about in regard to my works, but I have much to be thankful for because of your grace, Father. I am justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. Hallelujah, it’s by Jesus and not by me.
