Jesus Christ, God’s Only Beloved Son, was sent into the world to be mankind’s Savior and Lord. Jesus lived a sinless life and then offered himself in the place of sinners upon the cross to bear the judgment of God’s holy wrath against sin for their sake. After he suffered and died, Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to heaven, having secured forgiveness, peace and eternal life with God for those who trust in him. God regards those who believe in Christ as righteous in His sight, for He credits the righteousness of Christ to the account of those who turn from sin and receive Jesus by faith. All of this—forgiveness, peace with God, righteousness and eternal life—come about, not by right thinking or good works, but only by the free grace of a just and loving God who chose to deliver from sin and death those who could never deliver themselves.
