God is not on trial, He can do whatever He wants! All have sinned and fallen short; there is no reward for 'righteous works'. The bad news is that all our works of righteousness are filthy rags; the Good News is that Faith is the way. And continual acts of faith transfers over to our ledger as 100% righteousness. That is grace from God- unmerited favor; We are no longer held as guilty under the law for our Faith!  Romans 4.  LF-0174   © Copyright 1980
