Take It With You!

As we spend our Summer growing in the love of God, it will be helpful for everyone to be reading through 1 John daily. Here helpful insights will be offered to aid in your study.

Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.

Romans 4:5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Since we receive the forgiveness of sins and reconciliation on account of Christ by faith alone, faith alone justifies. This is because those who are reconciled are regarded as righteous and children of God, not on account of their own purity, but through mercy on account of Christ, as long as they take hold of this mercy by faith. Thus Scripture testifies [Romans 4:5] that we are reckoned righteous by faith....[Faith] is the very righteousness by which we are reckoned righteous before God, not because it is a work that is worthy in and of itself, but because it receives the promise by which God has pledged that on account of Christ he desires to be gracious to those who believe in him and because it knows that "Christ Jesus...became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption" [I Corinthians 1:30].
