Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

( Rom 3:24)“ Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: (25)  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare His righteousness….(26)  To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.”  Why the stressing of the declaration of “His righteousness”? A judge is not righteous who does not hold those before him accountable. God is righteous to justify (forgive the sin) because the sin was paid by another. God remains righteous.
