God\u2019s Grace \u00a0 Day 25
\nYet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.<\/em>\u00a0 Romans 3:24 NLT<\/p>\n

Message:
\n<\/u>But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago.
\n<\/em>Romans 3:21-28\u00a0 \u00a0NLT<\/p>\n

We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned, we all fall short of God\u2019s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight.<\/p>\n

He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins, for God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin.<\/p>\n

People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.<\/p>\n

Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith. So, we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.<\/p>\n

Praise God for His glorious grace!<\/p>\n
