FAITH: MAN’S RESPONSE TO CHRIST
Jesus did all the work necessary to
save man from his sins. However, before we can experience the benefits that
God has provided through Christ’s death on the cross, God requires that we
believe (trust) in Jesus, and what He has accomplished through His death.
Knowing that a man is not justified
by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed
on Christ Jesus that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by
the works of the law; for by the works of the law shall no flesh be
justified.
Galatians 2:16
For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him will not perish,
but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
(In fact, there are over 160 verses in the New
Testament which declare that the only condition for receiving eternal life
is faith in Jesus Christ. Among them are John 1:7, 1:12, 3:18, 5:24, 6:29,
etc.)

FAITH (TRUST) IS THE HAND BY WHICH WE
REACH OUT
AND ACCEPT THE ETERNAL LIFE OFFERED
FREELY IN
JESUS CHRIST.
For since, in the wisdom of God, the
world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the
foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
1 Corinthians 1:21
