One God Which Shall Justify Romans 3:30

Paul the apostle asked the Jews in Rome, “is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:”, and in chapter three and verse thirty of Romans, Paul shared how, “it is one God, which shall justify” both of them where we read:

Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

The verse begins, “Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, ...” Paul began with the word, “seeing” which means “since indeed” “it is one God” or “it is only and solely one Godhead bodily and trinity which is comprised of God the Father, Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit”, “which shall justify” or “that shall render righteous or such as a person ought to be” “the circumcision” which refers to “a term used of the Jews” “by faith” which means “through and by the 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”. Paul showed only “One God” who provided “justification” to the Jews.

The verse goes on to say, “... and uncircumcision through faith.” Paul added the words, “and uncircumcision” or “a term used for the Gentiles” “through faith” which means “by the conviction that God exists and is the creator and ruler of all things, the provider and bestower of eternal salvation through Christ”. “Justification” from the same “One God” was also given to the Gentiles by “belief and trust” in Jesus.

When we think through these words of Paul, we see the resolve of “God” to extend “justification” to all people whether they are “Jews or Gentiles”. Everyone has the opportunity to be “just as if I'd” never sinned by believing and trusting in Jesus Christ as their “Savior and Lord”. No other means can “justify”, and no other person in history can truthfully make this offer. Paul later writes it this way, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)

Next time Paul asks the people in Rome,“do we then make void the law through faith?”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
