August 20, 2012 Knowing that a man is not justified by works of the law but, a righteousness which comes from God. We know that a person is justified not by works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the work of the law. In Isaiah 45: 25 say in Lord shall all the seeds of Israel be justified and shall glory. Justification is the process of one being made right through the word of God. This is the way that one can be cleansed and to restored to God through Christ. In (Romans 1-16) it says “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth: to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Further in (Roman 1-17) it states for there in is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written. The just shall live by faith. In the first verse (Romans 1-16) Paul show his Zeal to preach the gospel to the people of Rome. Yet the Apostle lays his foundation when he uses the term the righteous will live by faith. Verses 16 and 17 are important part to Paul’s letter to Rome. The Apostle Paul states he is not ashamed of the gospel of Christ through God. His advocacy of the law was one his strong points that he would use in his doctrinal letter to the church in Rome. The Apostle Paul seems to give favoritism to the Jews. Other time he is critical of the Jews. The term “righteousness of God "in verse 17 means a righteousness that brings love and salvation, this can also mean a righteousness that is faith from first to last. The standard theme saying the righteousness shall live by faith. The power of God brings salvation for everyone who believes: first the Jews, then
