scripture

 

Romans 3:21-26

But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

 

En Espanol, Romanos 3:21-26

 

thought

 

The Law and the Prophets testify of a different righteousness.  This righteousness does not require perfection.  It requires admittance of weakness and frailty.  This righteousness comes by faith in Jesus whose perfection meets and exceeds the Law, whereby making Him able to be the final sin sacrifice for the sins of humanity.
