Romans 3:25-26 For God presented Jesus as a sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus. (see verses 9-31)
2 Peter 3:13 But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God's righteousness. (see all chapter 3)
