Sunrise on Temple Mount in Jerusalem; Back to Previous Devotion

October 24 - Morning

"But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."

- Romans 3:21-24

A Righteousness From God, Not Achieved by Man    

In Romans chapter one and two Paul has explained these things:

  1. God has provided evidence to all men that there is a God, but men suppress this truth.
  2. All men have God’s law written on their hearts, but this law accuses men when they fail to keep it.
  3. Jews have God’s law written on tablets, but Jews cannot obey God’s commands.

So, by the time Paul gets to Romans 3:21 he has proven that all men are responsible to understand the knowledge of God and obey the law of God. All these men suppress the knowledge and disobey the law. This makes it impossible for God to justify any man. All men are condemned because they cannot meet the requirements of righteousness.

But, in Romans 3:21 Paul begins to explain the new revelation that was brought to light in his generation. God had revealed a righteousness that comes from God, not from man. Paul writes:

“But now apart form the law the righteousness of God has been made known.”

Paul says that even though this “righteousness from God” had just recently been revealed through Jesus Christ, “the Law and the Prophets testify” in agreement to this revelation.

This “righteousness from God” is given to the sinful, disobedient man who struggles in doubt and suppresses the truth “through faith in Jesus Christ.” Every man has fallen short of attaining righteousness by his own knowledge and deeds, but “all are justified freely” when they believe the promise of “grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

Hebrew and Greek Word Study   Facts and Information

 

Yir'ah (Hb) - Fear (Eng) - the Hebrew yir'ah means "fear," "reverence, "respect."
The root verb is yare' which means "to fear," and "to be afraid."
Yir'ah refers to a fear and respect of God that causes a person
to live righteously before the Lord.

  A study of the agriculture along the east shoreline of the Dead Sea indicated that the land was at one time irrigated by fresh water from wadis that fed fresh water to five cities from around 2400 BC. This indicated that the southern third of the Dead Sea was not yet underwater but was irrigated farm land that would have matched the description given in Genesis 13:10:
“Lot looked up and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was sell watered, lke the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, toward Zoar. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)”
In 1969 archaeologist Ralph Baney examined the floor of the southern portion of the Dead Sea and found trees standing at a height of 23 feet, but there were no ancient buildings or remains of cities. The southern third of the Dead Sea was at one time a well watered plain irrigated “like the land of Egypt.”  (more here)
     
Confession to Action   Facts and Information
Do I realize that my human nature seeks to surpress the knowledge of God?
Do I recognize that the sin nature within me strives to rebel against God's law?
I trust God's promise that says he has given me a righteousness through faith in the work of Jesus.
This grace will empower me to seek God and his knowledge and do righteous deeds.
  "Do not testify against your neighbor without cause, or
use your lips to deceive."
- Proverbs 24:28
