Romans 3:21-26
But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 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.
The key word in this passage is faith, which is the key word in the Gospel. The object of that faith is Jesus, who is in fact God. God put Himself into His creation to show and extend His righteousness to all.
When we believe we fully enter the present moment, for God is ever present and we find ourselves in His eternal presence.
