God Justifies The Ungodly - Romans 3: 21-31
All have sinned and without excuse
having missed God's glory by a mile
how can they meet God's demand
perfect righteousness is no single isle
God's grace comes to rescue mankind
teaching their real need to take away sin
sending Jesus to be the perfect substitute
taking our sins on Himself so we can enter in
Jesus became our propitiation by His blood
so turning away God's wrath from His own
then God's people have faith in His blood
which Christ shed for our sins to atone
God justifies the ungodly, those who believe
for their faith in Jesus who will be just
no boasting will do for it is excluded
only the law of faith by grace is a must
So we now must conclude here finally
tell of God's mercy and unmerited grace
for freely we receive His imputed righteousness
freely lovingly God redeems us in His place
(Romans 3: 21-31)
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
