Our only confidence and boast is Jesus Christ and Him crucified. In ourselves, we are great sinners, deserving God's just wrath. Jesus Christ came to save sinners. He is our complete salvation from sin. He is all of our obedience before God. He is all of our acceptance. He is the message of all of scripture. Him we worship. Him we preach. He is our life. He is our only hope and all of our expectation.
By God's free, sovereign, electing grace, He saved us in Jesus Christ. By that same grace, He gave His own Spirit to us that we might know and believe Him, that we might rejoice in Him as our certain and only salvation, and that we might make His glory known. All that Christ is, He is to God for us. All that God is, He is to us in Christ.
