eps / The Faith of Christ | Pt 3

Romans 3:21-26 may be one of the most significant
passages in the New Testament. In this passage the
heart of Paul's Christ-centered theology is
explained: God's righteousness is revealed in the
faith (and faithfulness) of Christ for the faith (and
faithfulness) of the believer. When we believe in the
message that Christ has done all that is necessary to
redeem us from our fallen way of life and reconcile
us to God, we are declared righteous. This
declaration is no "legal fiction" - stating something
that is not really true. When God declares that we
are righteous in Christ, this powerful and creative
act changes our identity and our position before God.
Our relationship with God has changed and this is the
beginning of His work in us to transform us and
conform us according to Christ's perfection.
