Thoughts from God's Word

Romans 3:28 KJV "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law" What does this mean? How did Paul reach this conclusion? To answer this we must research the previous scriptures.

Romans 3:23 KJV"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
"all" - used to refer to the whole quantity or extent of a particular group or thing.
"Glory" - magnificence or great beauty.

Romans 3:24 KJV"Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"
"Redemption" - the action of regaining or gaining possession of something in exchange for payment, or clearing a debt.

Romans 3:25 KJV"Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"
"Propitiation" - is defined as the act of making peace, or doing something pleasing for someone. Example: to give a gift to an enemy
"Forbearance" - patient self-control; restraint and tolerance.

Romans 3:26‭-‬27 KJV "To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith."
"Boasting" - excessively proud and self-satisfied talk about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities.

In conclusion, it's not about you or how well you can live without sin, it's about Jesus! Regardless of weather you murdered, committed adultery, lied, or stole a cookie each one is worthy of going to hell without faith in Jesus.
