ITS JESUS FAITH & WORK THAT SAVED ME; ALL I DID WAS HEAR ABOUT IT, and BELIEVED IT/RECEIVED IT. Make the message CLEAR and PLAIN, Christ RECEIVETH SINFUL MEN. Justification is the legal act where God declares the sinner to be innocent of his or her sins. It is not that the sinner is now sinless, but that he is declared sinless by God Almighty! This declaration of righteousness is being justified before God. This justification is based on the shed blood of Jesus Christ, on my behalf...1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Romans 5: 6. ¶ For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. God imputed (reckoned to our account) the righteousness of Christ at the same time our sins were imputed to Christ when he was on the cross (THE GREAT, GRACIOUS EXCHANGE). 2 Corinthians 5:19. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christs stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Galatians 2:16. Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Galatians 2:20. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. #SalvationSoSimpleReligionStumblesOverIt
