2020 for JESUS - Day 236: JESUS is GOD... GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS...

Romans 3:1-8

3 “What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? 

² Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of GOD.

³ What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify GOD’s faithfulness? 

⁴ Not at all! Let GOD be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written:

‘So that you may be proved right when you speak
    and prevail when you judge.’

⁵ But if our unrighteousness brings out GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS more clearly, what shall we say? That GOD is unjust in bringing HIS wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 

⁶ Certainly not! If that were so, how could GOD judge the world? 

⁷ Someone might argue, ‘If my falsehood enhances GOD’s truthfulness and so increases HIS glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?’ 

⁸ Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—'Let us do evil that good may result’? Their condemnation is just!”
