Romans
3:25 KJV
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his
blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God;
- Salvation
is a declaration of the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
- We
might often become confused in our own minds concerning who is honored in
the change that takes place at salvation.
- We
might want to honor the person whose life is so dramatically changed
- We
might put our focus on the church, the ministry or the preacher who was so
instrumental in guiding a person to such change.
But God declares and declares again that salvation is a
declaration of the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
No wonder then that God is so jealous of those who attempt
to climb in some other way. It is not only defiance against the plan of God and
an unjust method or trying to attain justification, it is primarily an attempt
to circumvent the declared righteousness of God's beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
