Audio commentary on this verse
Note 10 at Ro 3:26: Here Paul restated this amazing fact that it is the righteousness of Jesus that has been given to us (see note 2 at Ro 3:22). We don't just have enough righteousness to let us slip into heaven; we have been given Jesus' righteousness. 1Co 1:30 says, "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption." Jesus is our righteousness! 2Co 5:21 says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
