Why is the believer justified freely according to Romans 3?
The believer is justified freely because Christ paid the redemption price with His own blood. On Calvary He paid the price for every human being's sin, and by faith that payment is appropriated. Scripture states that without the shedding of blood there is no remission.
Les explains that Romans 3 presents the believer as justified freely because of the price Christ paid. In verses 24–25, Christ Jesus is the one whom God set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood. Les asks why the blood is mentioned, and answers that the blood is the price of redemption; without the shedding of blood there is no remission. He teaches that on the cross of Calvary Christ paid the redemption price so that the whole human race, which fell under Satan's control when Adam sinned, could be redeemed. Christ paid for every human being's sin, but that payment cannot be appropriated until faith comes into the picture. Had Christ not shed His blood, the redemption price would never have been paid.
