“There are two undeniable facts of Scripture: the first is that God is righteous. The second is that we are not… something is wrong between us and God” (John Stott). The ultimate question, then, is: what is the solution to the problem that exists between us and God? This passage compares the wrong, but common attempt to solve the problem, with the way of the gospel. The glory of the gospel is that God justifies by his grace sinners who put their faith in Christ.
