How Does This Affect Me?

AT (v.21) Paul said… “But now” here’s the gift! He pulls no punches saying, The righteousness of God = IS a righteousness of God’s providing! Apart from the law = It’s without merit of human effort to a code! How do I get this? I accept the gift of Christ’s grace. Therefore, I receive what I don’t deserve!
By faith (I believe I need it & I believe I have it). The blood makes you safe & the word makes you sure! Unto a holy life (the evidence of reception… I’m changed!). "Justified" technically it describes a legal standing before a judge. It means: “Just as if I’d never did it” Basically, I’m being declared innocent in the sight of God! Check this out: Justification is an ACT, not a process! There’s no degrees of justification! God doesn’t make us righteous, He declares us righteous!
