Rom. 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Rom. 3:24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ
Jesus;
Rom. 3:25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This
was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed
over the sins previously committed;

V23. Man
- All have sinned, therefore, all have fallen short of the glory of God.
o It does not matter how good we are.
o We simple have sinned (and we still do), and that’s enough for our
righteousness to be short.
V24. Justified
- These kind of people are being Justified.
o Justified - to show to be righteous, to declare righteous by God.
o Again, this declaration by God to those who have sinned again him.
- Justification is a Gift
o Those we are justified did not earn this justification. They got is as a gift,
freely given by God on their part.
- By Grace
o The gift is by His grace.
 It is completely God’s favor.
 NOT EARNED.
 God did this on His own.
- Can God really do this?
- Redemption
o Justification was made possible through the redemption.
 There was a payment to their sins.
 Their sins were fully paid
 Since there is payment, God was able to justify them.
o Who paid it?
 Jesus Christ
o How did He?
V25. In His blood.
- Christ sacrificial death on the cross.
o In that sacrificial death, God was appeased, therefore God acted in
kindness to justify those who have sinned.
o Justification is God’s response to what Jesus did and not what we
did.
- Why do we need to be redeemed anyway?
o Because we are guilty of sins, there we deserve to punishment from God
forever.
o The death of Jesus Christ removes that punishment.

1Cor. 15:3-4 Christ died for our sins and that He was buried, and that He was raised on
the third day according to the Scriptures,
- Christ came back to life. The is our hope that:
o He successfully provided this redemption for those who have sinned
