Rm3

Everyone has done enough to be found guilty before God! Have we done enough to become righteous before Him?

One sin is enough for God to judge us and condemn us to Hell. "We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Yet, God declares "righteous" those who place their faith in Jesus. The sin was our part, the righteous came only through faith in Jesus.

Salvation is a gift. It cannot be earned. No work or amount of good works can "earn" salvation. But there is no salvation apart from faith in Jesus. He earned salvation for us, but we must trust in Him.

Paul writes, "We conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law." Thank God for His grace.
