Focus on Faith
one, but there are some
people who believe Jesus’
atonement was limited to
the chosen or elected ones.
We are justified by the
grace of God through his
Son, Jesus Christ, and the
Holy Spirit.
Paul states “we have
gained access by faith into
this grace in which we now
stand.” Not only has God
forgiven us, he declares us
not guilty; he draws us
close to him by his grace.
Our relationship with God
begins with us surrender-
justified by Faith”
Our scriptures, in Ro-
mans 5:1-5, reveal, that we
are saved by justification.
Justification is a Greek
concept meaning, “to de-
clare righteous”. It is an
act wherein God pro-
nounces that the believing ing a]j to the Lord. Our scribed in three different
sinner has been saved by faith begins with his help- ways: his prevenient, justi-
in him shall not perish but
have eternal or everlasting
life”. Our faith with God
begins with the relation-
ship and accepting his gift
of salvation. All three
members of the Trinity are
involved in our salvation.
God is the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. Jesus is the
bridge between us to live
by his power. God’s un-
merited grace is available
to all in providing sun-
shine, rainfall, food, and
clothing.
God’s love may be de-
the virtues of Jesus Christ
dying for our sins. “Justi-
fied by faith, we have peace
with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ” (v.l).
The meaning of Trinity is
apparent in the passage.
Christ provides access and
gives hope to share the glo-
ry of God. God’s love is
poured into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit.
We receive the justification
when we surrender all to
the Lord. Our sins have
been justified by Jesus
Christ’s atonement. Christ
died for everyone but His
death is effective only in
those who believe the
gospel. Jesus’ atonement
was unlimited for every-
ing us realize that we are
delivered from our past by
Jesus Christ’s death. Our
hope grows as we learn
that God has for us his jus-
tifying grace. God loves us
when we accept his grace
through his Son and the
Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ’s
love fills our lives and gives
us the ability to reach out
to share our faith with oth-
ers.
Our faith is what we
fication, and sanctification
graces. God’s prevenient
grace, the divine love that
is available to everyone,
who is willing to accept
this grace. In justification
we are forgiven of our sins
and restored to God’s favor
through repenting and
rededication of our faith.
In sanctification, we hold
that God’s acceptance and
pardon does not end God’s
saving work, which contin-
hope for and certain of ues to nurture our growth
what we do not see. Our
faith provides us with an
understanding of what
God has given us in John
3:16, “God so loved the
world that he gave his only
Son, so whoever believes
in grace. In other words,
we start maturing in our
faith with sanctification
grace. God is waiting on us
to make that decision in ac-
cepting his gift of salva-
tion.
