Paul
the apostle told the Jews in Rome,
“all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace
through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ:”,
and in chapter three and verse twenty-five of Romans, Paul shared
about, “a propitiation
through faith in his blood” where
we read:
to
declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God
The
verse begins, “Whom
God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood,”
Paul began with the words, “Whom
God”
which means “who the Godhead bodily and trinity which is comprised
of God the Father, Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit” “has
set forth” or
“has placed before, purposed and determined” “to
be a propitiation”
which means “relating to an appeasing, expiating or placating
force, expiatory; a means of appeasing or expiating” “through
faith”
or “by way and means of the conviction that God exists and is the
creator and ruler of all things, the provider and bestower of eternal
salvation through Christ” “in
his blood”
or “within Jesus' bloodshed”. Paul declared “faith”
in “Jesus'” “bloodshed” became an “appeasing sacrifice”
which came from God above.
The
verse goes on to say, “to
declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God.”
Paul
added the words, “to
declare”
or “to demonstrate, prove, manifest by act, sign or evidence”
“his righteousness”
or “God's doctrine concerning the way in which man may attain a
state approved of God, integrity, virtue, purity of life, correctness
of thinking, feeling and acting” “for
the remission”
which means “for the passing over and disregarding” “of
sins”
or “of missing the mark, error and mistakes”
“that are past”
which refers to “that happened before or were previously
committed”, “through the
forbearance” which
means “by the toleration and self-restraint” “of
God” which
refers to “the Godhead bodily and trinity which is comprised of God
the Father, Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit”.
When
we consider these words of Paul, we see how it was God who sent Jesus
to be the “appeasing sacrifice” for people's failure to keep His
law. God desired to save people from their “sins”, both past,
present and future”, and for those who put their “faith and
trust” in Him, not only shall they receive God's forgiveness, but
they shall also inherit “eternal life”.
Next
time Paul shares with the people in Rome about,“the
justifier of him which believes in Jesus”,
so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until
tomorrow…there is more…
