But Now...

'But now a righteousness from God', not man's righteousness, but God's, is 'apart from the law.' It has been made known, it is from God and through faith, faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. You see, God presented Him as a sacrifice, not a lamb or goat or of bulls, but of a son. 'God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement through faith in his blood' Not blood of an animal, but blood of His son, so that God might demonstrate His justice. There is no forgiveness without the shedding of blood. God presented, God justifies, not by man's works, but by God presenting His son for the atonement for forgiveness. The perfect sacrifice. But now, a righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
thank you Father for giving us your Son, that we may have the privilege of coming into your presence. it is by your grace we are able to take hold of salvation.
