....“For by works of the Law no human being will be justified in his sight” (Rom 3:20). You can almost hear the gavel fall with a boom. Thankfully, Paul does not end his letter here....“But now” tells us that something has been done to solve the problem of our sins. What is it that solves the problem of our sins? “A righteousness of (from) God has been manifested apart from the law…through faith in Jesus Christ” (3:21-22). Luther referred to these verses as “the center of the whole Bible.” Martin Lloyd Jones called it “the most important and crucial passage in the whole of Scripture.” Leon Morris said it is “possibly the most important single paragraph ever written.” This passage is the basis for the great Reformation doctrine of sola fide–the idea that we are saved by faith alone and not by the works of the law.

Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

The Most Important Passage in the Whole of Scripture,

2 Corinthians 5:17-20 
 17. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 
 18. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 
 19. that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them.
