Biblical Letters and Gospels

Today's Scriptures:
Philemon
Luke 15

Luke 15 is all about rejoicing when you find something that was lost. This chapter features The Parable of the Lost Sheep, The Parable of the Lost Coin, and The Parable of the Lost Son (the Prodigal Son). When we lose our way, God is looking for us until we are found and then He takes the occasion to rejoice.


Today's excerpted passage: Romans 3:21-26
English- Romans 3:21-26
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 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;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

French- Romains 3:21-26
21 Mais maintenant, sans la loi est manifestée la justice de Dieu, à laquelle rendent témoignage la loi et les prophètes,
22 justice de Dieu par la foi en Jésus Christ pour tous ceux qui croient. Il n'y a point de distinction.
23 Car tous ont péché et sont privés de la gloire de Dieu;
24 et ils sont gratuitement justifiés par sa grâce, par le moyen de la rédemption qui est en Jésus Christ.
25 C'est lui que Dieu a destiné, par son sang, à être, pour ceux qui croiraient victime propitiatoire, afin de montrer sa justice, parce qu'il avait laissé impunis les péchés commis auparavant, au temps de sa patience, afin, dis-je,
26 de montrer sa justice dans le temps présent, de manière à être juste tout en justifiant celui qui a la foi en Jésus.

Spanish- Romanos 3:21-26
21 Mas ahora, sin la ley, la justicia de Dios se ha manifestado, testificada por la ley y por los profetas:
22 La justicia de Dios por la fe de Jesucristo, para todos los que creen en él: porque no hay diferencia;
23 Por cuanto todos pecaron, y están distituídos de la gloria de Dios;
24 Siendo justificados gratuitamente por su gracia por la redención que es en Cristo Jesús;
25 Al cual Dios ha propuesto en propiciación por la fe en su sangre, para manifestación de su justicia, atento á haber pasado por alto, en su paciencia, los pecados pasados,
26 Con la mira de manifestar su justicia en este tiempo: para que él sea el justo, y el que justifica al que es de la fe de Jesús.

Because Jesus died for us, we can be righteous even when we falter at obeying the law. The main action required for this righteousness is faith and belief in Jesus Christ. We are all sinners and fall short of God's glory and are only redeemed by our belief in His Son who shed blood for us, Jesus! He is even so fair as to clear the slate if we believe in Jesus. That is called forgiveness.
