us? So that we might die to sin and live for the new
righteousness that the cross provides. This is our
response to the cross.

cross. What are the next steps?
Cross Study in GTG• Romans 3:21-27.

• We have Jesus’ righteousness credited to us via faith. Jesus
died for our sins and was raised for our justification. He
takes our sins and gives His righteousness!

God, weak and sinful. His blood changes all that and
reconciles us to God.
