WORLD-WIDE SIN AND WORLD-WIDE REDEMPTION

'Now we know, that what things soever the law saith, it
saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth
may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty
before God. 20. Therefore by the deeds of the law there
shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the
law is the knowledge of sin. 21. But now the
righteousness of God without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22. Even
the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus
Christ unto all and upon all them that believe; for
there is no difference: 23. For all have sinned, and
come short of the glory of God: 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 for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God; 26. To declare, I say,
at this time His righteousness; that He might be just,
and the justifier of him which believeth in
Jesus.'--ROMANS iii. 19-26.
