October 10 best passage ever. God put Jesus forward as a propitiation by his blood to be received

by faith. This was to show God's righteousness because in his divine forbearance he had passed over

former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time so that he might be just

and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Romans 3, 25 and 26.

Romans 3, 25 and 26 may be the most important verses in the Bible. God is holy just and he justifies

the ungodly. Really a just judge acquitting the guilty, not either or both. He acquits the guilty

but is not guilty in doing so. This is the greatest news in the world. God made Jesus to be sin

who knew no sin so that in him we might become the righteousness of God 2 Corinthians 5, 21. He takes our sin

we take his righteousness. By sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and force in

he condemned sin in the flesh Romans 8, 3. Who's flesh? Christ's who sinned condemned in that flesh?

Hours. For us then, no condemnation. Christ bore our sins in his body on the tree,

1 Peter 2, 24. Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous,

that he might bring us to God, 1 Peter 3, 18. If we have been united with him in a death like

his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his, Romans 6, 5. If the most

terrifying news in the world is that we have fallen under the condemnation of our Creator

and that he is bound by his own righteous character to preserve the worth of his glory by pouring

out his wrath on sin, then the best news in all the world, the gospel, is that God has decreed

and enacted a way of salvation that upholds the worth of his glory, the honor of his son,

and the eternal salvation of his elect. Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners.
