But now. In the past God overlooked men's sins and did not punish them immediately. But now, since the Cross and until time ends, God deals with men's sins. God's righteousness is demonstrated in the Cross, and we see that sin and salvation are not "make-believe!" At the same time, God accepts as righteous (PUTS RIGHT WITH HIMSELF) those who reach out through faith to make themselves part of Christ on the Cross and identify with his death (Colossians 2:12; Romans 6:3-6).
