My oil painting of the Lamb of God
God’s forgiveness is received by those who believe in Jesus Christ.
“All the prophets testify about Him (Jesus) that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
“All the prophets testify about Him (Jesus) that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
Acts 10:43
What are sins?
Any act or attitude, which fails to measure up to the standards of God’s glory and righteousness.
Can anyone measure up
to the standards of God’s righteousness?
Mankind has lost the ability to measure up to God’s standards. God’s first created man and woman chose to disobey God, and because of that choice, sin and death have been passed on to every human being since.
“sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men” Romans 5:12
We have no choice in this matter. All are born with a sinful, rebellious nature. We’re born separated from God’s righteousness.
“There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. There is no one who does good, not even one.” Romans 3:10-12
How then can man attain to God’s
righteousness?
Since it’s impossible for man to attain to God’s righteousness…
God’s mercy must reach to man.
God said to Moses…
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.” Romans 9:15-16

The Bible says… God…
“saved us and called us to a holy life-not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.” 2 Timothy 1:9
(God) made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in sins-
it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:5
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. Ephesians 2:8-9
How can I receive God’s forgiveness and
His righteousness?
God will give you the faith to believe His Truth, the Gospel…with conviction.
“For we know, brothers loved by God, that He has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction.” 1 Thess 1:4-5
God’s forgiveness and righteousness are received by all those who believe in Jesus Christ.

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21
“even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe.” Romans 3:22
Do you believe that Jesus Christ died to pay the penalty for your sin—the death penalty—to bring you to God?
“For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the
unrighteous, to bring you to God.” 1 Peter 3:18
The Bible says…
“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.” John 1:12
Has God given you the faith to believe in Jesus Christ?
If so, thank Him and ask Him to make your life what He desires it to be.
Dear Lord Jesus, I don’t understand it all, but I do believe in You. I don’t know why You’ve chosen me, but I thank You Lord for giving me the gift of eternal life, the forgiveness of sin. Thank You for paying the penalty for my sin on the cross. I ask You to make my life what You desire. I want to trust and follow You. Teach me how Lord. Thank You for giving me faith to believe in Jesus. In His Name I pray, Amen.
Believing in Jesus (salvation) is God’s gift to you.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God” Ephesians 2:8
Assurance of our salvation is based on the authority of God’s Word, the Bible. As God has chosen you to believe in Jesus (His gift of faith), He has, therefore, chosen you to follow Jesus (to live by faith).
