"They are restored to fellowship with God by His freely given grace through the redemption that comes in Christ Jesus. God put him forward to serve as an expiation for sins with his blood, and that expiration is ours through faith. In this way God demonstrated His saving righteousness, by overlooking past sins in His divine forbearance-as a demonstration of His saving righteous at the present time, showing that He Himself is righteous and will restore to His fellowship whoever puts his faith in Jesus." (Rom 3: 24-26)
