We all like to believe we are self-sufficient, that we can solve all of our problems if we only try hard enough. When it comes to our relationship with God, however, we can’t fix things on our own. Our good works and religious rituals aren’t good enough for us to earn our way to heaven. The only way to be right with God is to believe in Jesus. Saving faith does not include our good works, nor does it require our religious rituals. Instead, faith relies upon the promises of God, believing that He declares us righteous on the basis of Jesus’s faithfulness on our behalf. Do you believe that God declares your righteous by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone?
