The Righteousness of God Through Faith
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Rom 3:30
The circumcision are the Jews and the uncircumcision refers to the Gentile, and both can only be saved by faith in Jesus Christ.
John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Thus
there is only one God (or “God is one”). Paul no doubt had in
mind here the “Shema” of Israel: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD
[Yahweh]
our God [’Ĕlōhı̂m],
the LORD [Yahweh]
is One” (Deut. 6:4). This one God over both Jews and Gentiles will
justify all who come to Him regardless of background (circumcised or
uncircumcised) on the same human condition of faith.
