But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Romans 3:21-26
How can we be righteous before God? -- through the Gospel.
God's righteousness is revealed through the work of Christ Jesus. Our faith, provided to us by God, is centered around that work on the cross, but what does that all mean?
The Grace given to us by God came at a cost. God never compromised His righteousness, but instead allowed His justice to occur through another - Jesus Christ.
He is the just and the justifier.
