then a servant of sin? Certainly not! But if I build up again the very things
that I once tore down, then I demonstrate that I am a transgressor. For
through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been
crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives
in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God; for
if justification comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
Romans 3:21–26 | Pew Bible page 916
But now, irrespective of law, the righteousness of God has been disclosed,
and is attested by the law and the prophets, the righteousness of God
through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction,
since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now
justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus, whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by His blood,
effective through faith. He did this to show his righteousness, because in
His divine forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;
it was to prove at the present time that He Himself is righteous and that He
justifies the one who has faith in Jesus.

“Great Is Thy Faithfulness” Faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee.
Thou changest not; Thy compassions they fail not.
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
Refrain:
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning, new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided.
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
(Refrain)
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow:
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
