And all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
In this passage, justification is freely given to the Jews and everyone else. There is no special pedigree or life circumstance to be justified by God. Non-Christians may fell like outsiders, like there is no place for them in the church, but there is. God and his church welcome all. Redemption is a gift, we just have to accept it. Will our lives change? Yes, because of our thankfulness, we want to become more and more like Christ every day.
Lord, thank you than we can be justified freely. Please help anyone thinking about accepting your gift to grab hold of it. Amen.
