But Now the Righteousness of God Apart from the Law is Revealed

Pastor Scott Brenner Romans 3:24-31
24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus
25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus
27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith
28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith
31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law
