God's Righteousness Explained — Romans 3 Verse by Verse

B20L6 What does it really mean to be saved? Romans 3 reveals that salvation includes imputed righteousness, justification, redemption, and forgiveness — all by faith alone, not by works of the law. ✝️ In this verse-by-verse study of Romans 3:19-26, we dig deep into what Paul means when he says the righteousness of God is "unto all and upon all them that believe." The law was never meant to save — it was given to condemn and reveal sin. But now, apart from the law, God's own righteousness is imputed to every believer. We trace this truth all the way back to Genesis 3:21, where God clothed Adam and Eve with coats of skins — a picture of blood-bought, imputed righteousness. Then we journey to Isaiah 61:10, where Isaiah rejoices in being clothed with the "garments of salvation" and the "robe of righteousness." These aren't just Old Testament stories — they are the foundation of everything we enjoy in this age of grace. 📖 Key Topics Covered: • Romans 3:19-20 — Why the law can only condemn, never save • Romans 3:21-22 — God's righteousness apart from the law, available to all who believe • Romans 3:24 — Justified freely by His grace through redemption • Genesis 3:21 — Adam and Eve clothed with skins: the first picture of imputed righteousness • Isaiah 61:10 — The robe of righteousness and garments of salvation explained • What does "imputed" mean? A bookkeeping term that means "put to the account" • Justification defined: declared "just as if you've never sinned" • Redemption, forgiveness, and the judgment seat of Christ vs. the great white throne 🔑 This study covers Romans 3 verse by verse, exploring imputed righteousness, justification by faith, redemption through the blood of Christ, and forgiveness of sins. Key cross-references include Genesis 3:21, Isaiah 61:10, Ephesians 1:7, and Colossians 1:14 — all confirming that salvation is by grace through faith alone.
