How does a person receive the righteousness of God? Is it for everyone?

Les explains that the prosecuting attorney has laid out the case, categorizing the human race, and the final verdict is that both Jew and Gentile are all under sin—there is none righteous, none that seeks after God. Then Scripture declares the righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ, is unto all and upon all them that believe. Les emphasizes this makes a level playing field: Jew and Gentile, black and white, rich or poor, there is no difference. Nobody can claim a better or lesser advantage, because it is received by faith. He also notes God's grace is always greater than sin, but that is never a license to see how far one can go.
