Knowing that the Law of Moses brings full knowledge of sin, and we have all transgressed this law. What a great show of His love towards us, to send His Son to fulfill the law on our behalf. And not only that, but usher in a new Law, the Law of Christ.
(Rom 3:20 LITV) Because by works of Law not one of all flesh will be justified before Him, for through Law is full knowledge of sin. Psa. 143:2
(Rom 3:21 LITV) But now a righteousness of God has been revealed apart from Law, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
(Rom 3:22 LITV) even the righteousness of God through faith of Jesus Christ toward all and upon all those believing; for there is no difference,
(Rom 3:23 LITV) for all sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
(Rom 3:24 LITV) being justified freely by His grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus,
(Rom 3:25 LITV) whom God set forth as a propitiation through faith in His blood, as a demonstration of His righteousness through the passing over of the sins that had taken place before, in the forbearance of God,
(Rom 3:26 LITV) for a demonstration of His righteousness in the present time, for His being just and justifying the one that is of the faith of Jesus.
(Rom 3:27 LITV) Then where is the boasting? It was excluded. Through what law? Of works? No, but through a Law of faith.
(Rom 3:28 LITV) Then we conclude a man to be justified by faith without works of Law.
This is good news.
(Rom 4:13 LITV) For the promise was not through Law to Abraham, or to his seed, for him to be the heir of the world, but through a righteousness of faith.
(Rom 4:14 LITV) For if those of Law are heirs, faith has been made of no effect, and the promise has been annulled.
(Rom 4:15 LITV) For the Law works out wrath; for where no law is, neither is transgression.
(Rom 4:16 LITV) On account of this, it is of faith, that it be according to grace, for the promise to be certain to all the seed, not to that of the Law only, but also to that of the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all,
(Rom 4:17 LITV) according as it has been written, "I have appointed you a father of many nations;" before God, whom he believed, the One making the dead live, and calling the things that are not as if they were. Gen. 17:5
Amazing, can you see it? Brings true freedom, now we worship in spirit and truth.
(Rom 8:13 LITV) for if you live according to flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you will live.
(Rom 8:14 LITV) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
(Rom 8:15 LITV) For you did not receive a spirit of slavery again to fear, but you received a Spirit of adoption by which we cry, Abba! Father!
(Rom 8:16 LITV) The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God.
(Gal 4:4 LITV) But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, having come into being out of a woman, having come under Law,
(Gal 4:5 LITV) that He might redeem the ones under Law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
(Gal 4:6 LITV) And because you are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba! Father!
(Gal 4:7 LITV) So that you no more are a slave, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.
Hope you all see this. It's amazing stuff!!!
God bless,
