TEXAS GOSPEL VOLUNTEER

Before coming to faith in Christ, every person stands before God as someone who has sinned, but the good news is that God reaches down and changes that standing completely through justification. The moment a person accepts Jesus as Saviour and trusts in what he accomplished on the cross, they are redeemed, forgiven, and reconciled to God.

Justification is a spiritual position, meaning it is not based on feelings or behaviour but on what Christ did roughly 2,000 years ago and how that work is applied to a believer’s life by faith. Your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and you are on your way to heaven. On top of that, the Holy Spirit living within you is constantly at work, shaping the character of Christ in your daily life. You are everything you need to be, positionally, in the eyes of God.

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Romans 5:1
