22 This 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, 23 since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] [a]grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,
Romans 3:22-24
God is righteous and just. His actions are right and fair, expressions of His holiness. Humans have a sinful nature, but God is good. God demonstrates his love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) Righteousness comes from God; it is free a gift of grace to all who believe in Jesus. Christ’s death on the cross was for our sin, allowing for our justification by God’s grace, from sin to righteousness (to be right in the eyes of God). By God’s grace, belief and faith in Jesus bring salvation. Believe in God’s son Jesus, and you are saved.
God is loving, forgiving, righteous, and just. Will you accept Jesus and God’s grace?
Prayer; Our Heavenly Father, you are righteous, just, and forgiving. We thank You for Your love and grace toward us. Help us to grow in faith and love for each other. Teach us to open our hearts to You; increase in faith, and grow in righteousness. Like the bold peony flower brightens our days, let us be bold in faith and love and brighten the world. In Jesus’ loving name. Amen

We are utterly undeserving and yet He freely gifts us His grace. His just and righteous nature is what brings comfort to me because it reminds me that all the wrongs in the world is something that He will bring justice to. It does not mean that we are better and without sin but He has provided a way in His love and His love and protection is our hope for us all.
Blessings to you Jeanne 🌺💙

When I look at the white peony , I see symbolic righteousness for all those who believe. But then I see the red tipped folds in the flower and remember ,I am righteous because of His blood sacrifice. Thank You Jesus.
