<p>3:24&nbsp;<i>B</i><i>ut are justified freely by His grace</i>- Gk. &lsquo;without a cause / reason, as a gift&rsquo;. We are justified, declared right in our court case, for no reason. This declaring right is therefore by the purest grace imaginable. The same word is used of how we should freely, without a human reason, preach the Gospel (Mt. 10:8; 2 Cor. 11:7); our receipt of such a &ldquo;free&rdquo; salvation should naturally inspire us to share it with others in the same spirit. Any form of charging for the Gospel, getting personal benefit or glory out of sharing it with others, is absolutely outlawed. The free nature of the grace we have received must be reflected in our sharing it with others in the same spirit; God&rsquo;s giving to us has to be translated in our giving to others. Sharing the Gospel isn&rsquo;t, therefore, an irksome duty, something we salve our conscience with, something we are asked to participate in by a church leadership team; but a natural personal outflowing of the free gift we have received.</p><p><i>T</i><i>hrough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus</i>- We are declared right here and now, we receive redemption in that our sins are forgiven (Eph. 1:7); but redemption is in fact a process, culminating in the redemption of our body at the return of Christ, the final change from mortality to immortality in a corporeal, literal sense (s.w. Rom. 8:23), in &ldquo;the day of redemption&rdquo; (Eph. 4:30).</p>
