Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.

If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show, would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?

This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.

Thanks.

Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the

mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth. If anyone is to be justified, it must be done

not on the basis of merit in human effort or will, but rather justified by God's grace.

It's going to have to be an unmerited favor.

It's going to have to be an undeserved love.

So we must be, if we are to be justified by God, it must be by grace, because all of us

have fallen short of his standard.

It must be done as a gift.

Through what?

On what basis?

Through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Now, what is it about the personhood and the work of Jesus

that makes it possible for you and I who are wicked

and deserving of punishment to be justified,

that is declared righteous by grace.

Well, Jesus was put forward, verse 25,

whom God put forward as a propitiation.

Means a pleasing sacrifice,
