Removing the guilt from sin

Rom 3:21–31

3:21 Removing the guilt from sin

21But now God has revealed a way to remove guilt that’s not by rules—a way that Mosheh and the prophets wrote about. 22[ref]We can be made right with God through faith in Yeshua Messiah. This is for everyone who believes because there’s no distinction between Jews and others 23because everyone has sinned and is unable to be honoured by God. 24But even without deserving it, we can be declared guiltless by God’s grace by being bought out of slavery to sin by Messiah Yeshua 25who God placed on the altar as a sacrifice for sin. This happens through faith in his blood which was a sign of his sinlessness.

(God hasn’t yet judged those who sinned in the past 26because of his patience, waiting for the present time to show his righteousness and to be fair, and to remove the guilt of those with faith in Yeshua.)

27So where does that leave boasting? It’s not in the picture. How come? Through obeying the Mosheh’ laws? No, through a law about faith. 28So now we should expect that a person will be made guiltless by faith—not by obeying Mosheh’ laws. 29Or is God only god of the Jews? Isn’t he also the god of others? Yes, he is the God of others. 30[ref]Indeed, there’s only one God and he declares people guiltless by faith whether they’re circumcised Jews, or non-Jews. 31So does this ‘faith’ cancel the law? Not on your life. In fact, it upholds the law.

Gal 2:16:

16but we know that we’re not saved by following rules[ref] but only by faith in Yeshua the messiah. So we’ve believed in Yeshua the messiah so that we can be made guiltless by our faith in the messiah, and not by obeying all those rules, because all of those rules can never make any person guiltless.
