According to Romans 3:26, who does God justify?
According to Romans 3:26, God justifies the one who believes. The verse declares God's righteousness so that He might be just and, at the same time, the justifier of him who believes. Justification is not conditioned on many other things but is given to the one who believes.
Les explains that Romans 3:26 contains beautiful language where Paul says God's righteousness is declared so that God might be just and at the same time the justifier of him who believes. The verse emphasizes that justification is for the one who believes, not a lot of other things. This follows the completed payment of redemption, which was first for Israel but did not stop there; it spread to the whole human race, Jew and Gentile, so that we might receive the adoption of sons.
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
