But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the Law and the Prophets who bear witness to it-the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

This is the reason that Jesus is justified to judge the world. In His faithfulness to an almighty God, He remained sinless and fully faithful. At the same time, we are also justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Him, because while He remained sinless, He paid the penalty for ours.

Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? by no means! we uphold the law, because the law is what God put in place. The law was put in place so that the people could be held accountable to God.
