How are sinners justified according to Romans 3:24?

According to Romans 3:24, sinners are justified freely by His grace through the redemption. This redemption is the buying back of sinners, paid for by the blood of Christ, because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, yet God provided a Redeemer.

Les explains that Romans 3:23 declares all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but God did not stop there. He began preparing for a Redeemer. Verse 24 then says sinners are justified freely by His grace through the redemption—the process of buying us back. Les emphasizes that the price of redemption had to be the blood of Christ, which is unique because it is divine. Joseph was not the father of Jesus; God was, and the blood circulatory system originates with the father, not the mother. Thus, justification is by grace through the redemption paid by Christ's blood.
