       And again, Paul re-emphasized that no person is righteous before God, not the Jew or the Gentile. After Paul had gone through all that, showing people’s sinfulness versus God’s righteousness, he then spent the second half of chapter three telling us how in fact humans can become righteous like God is righteous. And how do they become righteous? Well, we learn it is by faith—people become righteous through placing their faith in Jesus Christ. Since Christ came to the earth, died for our sins, and was raised to life again, anyone can place their faith in his accomplishment and have righteousness, perfection, counted to them. Paul pointed out that Abraham was justified in front of God by his faith, and that David also believed the same thing. And Paul showed us that anyone can have the same righteousness that Abraham and David had, by believing through faith for justification from their sins before God.
