How was Jesus Christ alone able to accomplish this “just” deliverance for sinners weighed down by their great and heavy burden? Romans 3:25-26 gives us the answer. “Whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”
