Justification by faith alone

Christ has paid the price for man’s redemption and through His complete, once for all sacrifice on Calvary’s cross, the person who repents of their sin and places their faith for salvation in His finished work, is able to stand justified before a holy God.

For a sinner to place his faith in Christ is to acknowledge that he is a sinner, a rebel against a holy and loving God, and that he cannot save himself. God’s Word teaches that every man must repent of his sin, being so truly sorry that he is willing to forsake his former ways and turn from the broad way of sin to the narrow way of God and His truth. He must ask God to forgive him and cleanse him in the precious blood of the Saviour, Jesus Christ. For the man woman, boy or girl that truly repents, God promises that He will redeem their soul and assure them of an eternal life in Heaven with God.
John 1:12; John 5:24; Acts 3:19; Romans 3:28; Galatians 2:20; Galatians 5:16
