Romans 3: 22-26
22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,
through the shedding of his blood – to be received by faith. He did
this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had
left the sins committed beforehand unpunished 26 –
he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as
to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
Romans 5: 8
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 6: 23
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
