The Righteousness of God Is Revealed

martin luther had this exact same dilemma. In his autobiography from 15 forty five, he wrote about his misunderstanding of this exact passage and how romans one 17 was the key that unlocked his heart. Remember, you're saved by the righteousness of christ, not by your own obedience. This is the gospel. But saved people sin. However, saved people also sanctified, which means that overtime, they will sin less as god makes them more like christ.
