The Salvation God Offers Through Jesus Christ

here is a strange paradox in the Bible’s teaching about sin and salvation. The invitation to believe and trust Jesus as Savior is so simple a small child can understand it. Yet, the nuances of God’s righteousness and how that righteousness is given to us has left brilliant theologians to ponder the depths of Paul’s writings for centuries. Yes, Jesus Christ died for our sins. But what does that really mean and how does the sacrifice of Jesus work in the lives of sinners to save us? According to Romans, faith and justification are the way we can have right standing with God.
