Romans 3:22-24

The righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all those (Jew or Gentile) who believe (and trust in Him and acknowledge Him as God’s Son). There is no distinction since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God and are being justified as a gift by His grace, through the redemption which in is Christ Jesus.

Man is not capable of attaining righteousness without salvation through Jesus. Creating rules and philosophies cannot achieve what a spirit connected to Jesus can do. Our spirit connected through Jesus opens the door to right standing and propels the believer to a closer relationship with God. Our connection makes our faith in God important for answered prayer, healing, and daily life.
