The righteousness from God
comes through faith in Jesus Christ
to all who believe.

and fall short of the glory of God,
and are justified freely
by His grace through the redemption
that came by Christ Jesus.

I have been asked to knit another baby set.

God "will give to each person according to what he has done"
so those who by persistence in doing good
seek glory, honor and immorality,
He will give eternal life.
But for those who are self-seeking
and who reject the truth and follow evil,
there will be wrath and anger.
Romans 2:6-8
