Paul moves from justification by faith into the explanation and application of that truth. The benefits and privileges that flow from justification by faith should give us ample reason not only to make sure we are justified by faith but also to do everything we can to share this powerful Gospel message with those who haven’t heard or do not yet understand.

God reveals throughout this wonderful passage the powerful lesson of Abraham’s faith: “He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness” (verses 20-22).

What a wonderful promise! We are given forgiveness, not because of our parents or our social standing, but because of the righteousness of God by faith in Jesus Christ. We cannot accomplish salvation through our goodness. It is of God; it is His righteousness; it is by believing in Jesus Christ. It is the righteousness of God “unto all” (3:22). To God be all the glory!

The book of Romans was written during one of history’s most pivotal times. In spite of the opposition and misunderstanding he faced, the apostle Paul penned the words that continue to bring people to the Savior: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:23-24).

The apostle Paul, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, gave an amazing revelation that we often take for granted: “Glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God” (Romans 2:10-11). Paul shows an earnest concern that all believers should understand that the partition was taken down! All stand upon the same level before God. None can attain salvation by heritage, works, or social position. All have the same need for the Savior, who is willing to save “whosoever will.”
