0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:20.4	Here we go. Wrapping up, Romans three. Again, we have established that none
0:25.9	is righteous, not even one. We've established that by works of the law, no one can be made right with God.
0:31.4	It's not what you do for God, but what he has done for you at the cross of Jesus Christ.
0:35.8	We have reminded you that the entire Old Testament, the law and the prophets, the Hebrew
0:41.8	scriptures, all point to the coming righteousness of God, the person and work of Jesus.
0:47.0	And then we establish that for anyone who believes that you are made right with God.
0:54.3	So now we'll pick it up in verse 25.
0:56.8	He says, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, that God put forward
1:03.1	Jesus as a propitiation by his blood.
1:07.4	We're going to come back to that word propitiation. To be received by faith.
1:11.8	This was to show God's righteousness because in his divine forbearance, he had passed over
1:16.2	former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time so that he might be just and
1:21.2	the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Let me explain what those last couple of verses
1:25.5	mean. It means this, that all sin must be paid for.
1:30.3	Why? Because God is just. For God to overlook sin would make him an unjust judge, and he will not do it because that would be out of
1:38.5	character with who he is. I mean, imagine if somebody sinned against your loved one. Imagine if somebody molested and raped
1:45.7	your daughter. And then they caught the felon. They take him to the courthouse. And on the day of
1:52.4	judgment, the judge looks at this person that has hurt your family and he says, you know what,
1:59.2	nobody's perfect, don't worry about it.
2:06.5	You would look at that man as a judge, and you would say, you are an unjust judge, and you are unfit for the role that you play. Well, God is a just judge. Because of God's justice,
2:13.6	all sin must be paid for. God can over, he cannot overlook sin because that would make him an unjust
