Leon Morris holds that this may possibly be the most
important paragraph ever written:
But now the
righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the Law, although the Law
and the Prophets bear witness to it – the righteousness of God through faith in
Jesus Christ for all who believe.
For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption
that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood to
be received by faith. This was to
show God’s righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the
justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. (ESV)
Used this as my meditation this morning...agree that it is MOST important.
