Romans 4:13-15 13 For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void.…

Romans 4:11-12 11 He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised.

Romans 3:25-28 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.

Romans 3:23-24 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, – Romans 3:23-24 The word justified is not one we use very often in our culture. If we do it is normally…

Romans 3:21-23 21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it- 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the…
