Justified By His Grace

Justified by His Grace Titus 3:7 Salvation comes to a sinner when he trusts Christ, when the Spirit of God uses the Word of God to bring about the new birth. Not only have we who are Christians been washed and made new in Christ, but we have also been justified.Justification is the gracious act of God whereby He declares a believing sinner righteous because of the finished work of Christ on the cross. God puts to our account the righteousness of His Son, so that we can be condemned no more. Not only does He forget our sins, but He forgets that we were even sinners!What is the result of this kindness, love, mercy, and grace? Hope! We are heirs of God! This means that today we can draw on His riches; and when He comes, we will share His wealth and His kingdom forever.
If man is to ever be saved, he will not be saved by self-righteousness nor by anything else that concerns self. Self and all that concerns self only die. Man can only be saved by some Force much greater than himself, some Force that is living and personal and kind and loving enough to save him. That Force, of course, is God Himself.
