Romans 3:24-26

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁴ They receive God’s approval freely by an act of his kindness ^[a] through the price Christ Jesus paid to set us free ⌞from sin⌟. ²⁵ God showed that Christ is the throne of mercy where God’s approval is given through faith in Christ’s blood. In his patience God waited to deal with sins committed in the past. ²⁶ He waited so that he could display his approval at the present time. This shows that he is a God of justice, a God who approves of people who believe in Jesus.
