“We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are” (Romans 3:22 NLT).
We are all sinners. We are not able to keep the law of God. It is holy and perfect. Yet, God made a way for us through Jesus, who fulfilled the law and paid sin’s penalty in our place. When we place our faith in Christ, we are made right with God. God counts us as righteous.
A great exchange took place at the cross. Jesus took our sin, our death and our separation from God upon Himself. He did this that we might place our faith in Him and receive His righteousness, His eternal life and His Sonship.
To “place our faith in Christ” means to fully put our trust in Him as the only One who is able to make us right with God.
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank You for giving us Jesus. We have placed our faith in Him as Lord and Savior. Through Jesus we have found peace with You. Now help us to share this Good News with others that they might place their faith in Jesus too. In His name we pray, amen.
