This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. • (Titus 3:5) …He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. • (Ephesians 2:8-9) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- {9} not by works, so that no one can boast.

  3. How to be saved • Sin – My real problem – I deserve God’s judgment (Romans 3:23; 6:23). • Jesus’ death on cross – Our only solution.

  5. What are you trusting in for eternal life? • (1 Corinthians 15:2-4) By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. {3} …that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
