"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, 'The righteous shall live by faith.'" (Romans 1:16-17)
St. Paul writes about the righteousness of God that is revealed. What is this righteousness? Is this God's righteous nature by which I'm judged? Is he saying that through God's grace I'm able to live righteously in order to be saved? Or, is this God's own righteousness that is given to me as a gift?
Romans 3:24-27 helps clarify and answer these questions for us. Come join us this Sunday as we receive and meditate on God's good gifts, especially a righteousness that comes from outside ourselves.
