Popular Bible Verses from Romans 3

Share

All people have done wrong things. Nobody is as good as God in his glory wants them to be. But because God is very kind, he accepts us as right with himself. That is God's gift to us. Jesus Christ has paid for our sins so that we have become free.

God accepts people as right with himself because Jesus Christ did what God wanted. God accepts every person who believes in Christ. It is the same way for everyone, whether they are Jews or Gentiles.

God showed clearly that Jesus Christ died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. God forgives us if we trust in Jesus and the blood of his sacrifice. God did this to show clearly that he is always right and fair. In past times, God was patient. He did not punish people who did wrong things. He did this to show us today that he is completely right and fair. He accepts people as right with himself if they believe in Jesus.

Nobody can become right with God because they obey the Law's commands. Instead, God's Law shows people clearly the wrong things that they have done.

This is written in the Bible: ‘There is nobody who is right with God. There is not even one person who is like that. There is nobody who understands what is true. There is nobody who wants to know God. Everyone has turned away from God. All people have become completely bad. Nobody does what is good or kind. There is not even one person who is like that.

So this is what we are saying: A person becomes right with God if they trust in Christ. It is not because they do the good things which God's Law teaches.

No, certainly it does not mean that! God is always faithful. He will always say what is true, even if everyone in the world should tell lies. This is what is written in the Bible: ‘People will know that what you say is true. If people judge you, it will always be clear that you are right.’
