Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
Romans 3:24
Recommended Reading:
Romans 3:21-2621 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all[{{f}}] who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Romans 3:21-26
In his mid-teens John Stott was aware of two things about himself. “First, if there was a God, I was estranged from Him…. Secondly, I was defeated…. I fell far short of the person I wanted to be.” A friend invited him to a Bible study taught by Eric Nash, who explained the Gospel to him. That evening in his dormitory, John knelt and prayed, opening his heart to the Lord.
Years later John Stott wrote a book on the message of Romans, in which he said, “Faith is the eye that looks to Him, the hand that reaches out to receive His gift, the mouth that drinks the living water. Faith is nothing but the means by which we receive Christ.”
In order to walk in the light, we must remember the grace we’ve received. It’s truly amazing! Keep your salvation experience in mind, and remember that but for the grace of God you would be in darkness. Give thanks each day for God’s saving grace.
To encounter Christ is to touch reality and experience transcendence…. He assures us of God’s love for us. He sets us free from guilt … and from paralyzing fear because He reigns.
John Stott
