Romans 3:22b-26
22 ... For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

The religious under the law and the rest of the world are equally spiritually deficit when measured against God’s glory. He eclipses us completely. Yet He has done a redemptive work for us that is so perfect as to justify us without cost in Jesus the Christ. His righteousness is perfect, and Christ justly suffered and died where we deserve to as the complete justifier of those with active belief, trust, in Him. By His Justice, we then can not be judged as we ought to be, set free in merciful grace with our sins absolved once forever. He is just in our place where we cannot be, and only He can justify us as a perfect man and LORD. No other work or effort on our part can add to or take away from all that has been done - it is finished!
