What does Romans 3:22 say about who receives the righteousness of God?
Romans 3:22 states the righteousness of God, which is by the faith of Jesus Christ, is unto all and upon all who believe. It makes no difference between Jew and Gentile, black and white, rich and poor; this righteousness is imputed to and covers every believer.
Les explains that Romans 3:22 is not something only a few believers can have, but it is for every believer. The verse says, “Even the righteousness of God, which is by the faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all.” Everyone that believes receives it, for there is no difference between Jew and Gentile, black and white, rich and poor.
