1. Romans 4:5 – However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
2. Ephesians 2:8-9 – For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works so that no one can boast.
3. John 3:18 – Whoever believes in Him condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Because of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for our sins, we are justified and redeemed to spend eternity with Him in heaven, and we will not face the eternal wrath for those who do not believe.  It is also because of Christ that we do not die in our sins.  He gives us purpose, joy, and peace in this life and the next.  Praise the Lord!
