Justified Freely by His Grace Romans 3:24

Paul the apostle told the Jews in Rome, “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”, and in chapter three and verse twenty-four of Romans, Paul shared how people become, “ justified freely by His grace” where we read:

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Chris Jesus:

The verse begins, “Being justified freely by his grace ...” Paul began with the words, “being justified” which means “rendered righteous or such as a person ought to be” “freely” or “undeservedly” “by his grace” which means “through that which affords God's joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm, loveliness and unmerited favor”. Paul declared how a person becomes “just-as-if-I'd” “never-sinned” through God's “unmerited favor”.

The verse continues, “... through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ:” Paul added the word, “through” or “by the means, grounds and reason of” “the redemption” or “the releasing and deliverance effected by payment of ransom” “that is in” which means “which is by and with” “Christ” which refers to “the anointed One, the Messiah and the Son of God” “Jesus” whose name means “Jehovah is Salvation” and is “the Son of God, the Savior of mankind and God incarnate” . “Jesus” provided the “payment of ransom” to “justify freely” everyone who believes in Him through “God's grace”.

When we think through these words of Paul, we discover though every person has “sinned, and come short of the glory of God”, because of “Jesus” they may become as though they “never sinned” at all. This seems impossible, however, this is God's “gospel” plan of “salvation” for mankind. Jesus Christ came to fulfill to perfection the “law of God”, and He paid the price for sin through His death on the cross. After three days He was raised, and now “salvation” by God's grace is available to everyone, and every person may be “justified freely” by “Jesus Christ's” “deliverance effected by payment of ransom”.

Next time Paul shares with the people in Rome about,“a propitiation through faith in his blood”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
