God's Righteousness Through Faith

21But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;

23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

24being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

We are all the same. No one is more holy than another.

There is not one person sinless in this world. Not one! We recognize the curse we live under as the world does not. Denying it's sin daily. We must pray for those who live like this "a double curse".

No one is perfect so no one is as rightous as God

This verse reminds me of when Mary Magdelene committed adultery and the Pharisees wanted her to be punished and God, with the voice of compassion said, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her" (John 8:3-11). No one came forward, because they knew that they too were guility of sin.

All men are placed into the same category: sinner. The idea here is that even the most righteous among us still come short of God's standard of righteousness.

Lam1033 - (eBible Novice) about 1 year ago.

Must guilty man remain under wrath? Is the wound for ever incurable? No; blessed be God, there is another way laid open for us. This is the righteousness of God; righteousness of his ordaining, and providing, and accepting. It is by that faith which has Jesus Christ for its object; an anointed Saviour, so Jesus Christ signifies. Justifying faith respects Christ as a Saviour, in all his three anointed offices, as Prophet, Priest, and King; trusting in him, accepting him, and cleaving to him: in all these, Jews and Gentiles are alike welcome to God through Christ. There is no difference, his righteousness is upon all that believe; not only offered to them, but put upon them as a crown, as a robe. It is free grace, mere mercy; there is nothing in us to deserve such favours. It comes freely unto us, but Christ bought it, and paid the price. And faith has special regard to the blood of Christ, as that which made the atonement. God, in all this, declares his righteousness. It is plain that he hates sin, when nothing less than the blood of Christ would satisfy for it. And it would not agree with his justice to demand the debt, when the Surety has paid it, and he has accepted that payment in full satisfaction.

Our Sinful Nature

Every single person on this Earth has sinned.(Except for Jesus, He is perfect)

What about Jesus? (see 1 Peter 2:22) What about Mary? Isn't this talking about unbelievers? I think so; he quotes from Psalm 14:1-3, which begins, "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.'" and then describes them, saying that all of them have sinned.
