"We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our
sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we
have done. For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet
now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through
Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins. For God sent Jesus
to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are
made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his
life for us. God was being entirely fair and just when he did not punish those
who sinned in former times. And he is entirely fair and just in this present
time when he declares sinners to be right in his sight because they believe in
Jesus. Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No,
because our acquittal is not based on our good deeds. It is based on our faith."
Romans 3:22-27 (NLT) |
