Romanos 3:26 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 3:26

To declare, I say, at this time, his righteousness
This end is further explained, it being to declare the righteousness of God "at this time", under the Gospel dispensation; in which there was such a display of the grace, mercy, and goodness of God:

that he might be just;
that is, appear to be so: God is naturally and essentially just in himself; and he is evidentially so in all his works, particularly in redemption by Christ; and when and while he is

the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus:
Jesus, the Saviour, is the object of faith, as he is the Lord our righteousness; the believer in Jesus is a real, and not a nominal one; God is the justifier of such in a declarative way, and God only, though not to the exclusion of the Son and Spirit; and which sentence of justification is pronounced by him on the foot of a perfect righteousness, which neither law nor justice can find fault with, but entirely approve of; and so he appears just and righteous, even though he justifies the sinner and the ungodly.

Romanos 3:26 In-Context

24 justificados gratuitamente por su gracia mediante la redención que es en Jesús el Cristo

25 al cual Dios ha propuesto por reconciliación mediante la fe en su sangre, para manifestación de su justicia, para la remisión de los pecados pasados

26 por la paciencia de Dios, manifestando su justicia en este tiempo, para que él solo sea el Justo y el que justifica al que es de la fe de Jesús el Cristo

27 ¿Dónde pues está la jactancia? Es echada fuera. ¿Por cuál ley? ¿De las obras? No; sino por la ley de la fe

28 Así que, concluimos que el hombre es justificado por fe sin las obras de la ley
