We are justified by faith

"For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law" Romans 3:28.

All religions of the world try to get a man justified before God, or before a man himself. The vast majority of them will take a path of good works. Christianity is different. You can only be justified in the eyes of God by believing Jesus Christ and his atonement. Good works will follow your justification, but won't precede it. The key good job was done by Jesus on the cross. And that, and that one only can get you right before God. You have to believe it, and when you do, God grants you his righteousness for free. No good works can do that. God won't accept them as a means of you to get right before Him. Just believe what Jesus did, and that will give you a free gift of righteousness and make a peace between you and God. Your sins are forgiven if you believe in Jesus as your Savior. Blessed be His holy name. Amen. Praise Him for the gift. It is free of charge.
