As Father God tries to redeem man, the first problem He has is man's need of Righteousness.

The Book of Romans 3:26 gives the legal side of man's Redemption in Christ.

.........."To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."


Footnotes of the American Standard Version: "That He might be righteous and the righteousness of him that hath faith in Jesus."
