“But God’s free gift is not like Adam’s sin. Many people died because of the sin of that one man. But the grace that people received from God was much greater. Many received God’s gift of life by the grace of this other man, Jesus Christ.
After Adam sinned once, he was judged guilty. But the gift of God is different. His free gift came after many sins, and it makes people right with him.”

“We have been made right with God by the blood sacrifice of Christ. So through Christ we will surely be saved from God’s anger.
I mean that while we were God’s enemies, he made friends with us through his Son’s death. And the fact that we are now God’s friends makes it even more certain that he will save us through his Son’s life.
And not only will we be saved, but we also rejoice right now in what God has done for us through our Lord Jesus Christ. It is because of Jesus that we are now God’s friends.”

“Christ died for us when we were unable to help ourselves. We were living against God, but at just the right time Christ died for us.
Very few people will die to save the life of someone else, even if it is for a good person. Someone might be willing to die for an especially good person.
But Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and by this God showed how much he loves us.”

“Through our faith, Christ has brought us into that blessing of God’s grace that we now enjoy. And we are very happy because of the hope we have of sharing God’s glory.
And we are also happy with the troubles we have. Why are we happy with troubles? Because we know that these troubles make us more patient.
And this patience is proof that we are strong. And this proof gives us hope. And this hope will never disappoint us.
We know this because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts through the Holy Spirit he gave us.”

“We have been made right with God because of our faith. So we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

“These words (“he was accepted”) were written not only for Abraham. They were also written for us.
God will also accept us because we believe. We believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from death.
Jesus was handed over to die for our sins, and he was raised from death to make us right with God.”

“Abraham was almost a hundred years old, so he was past the age for having children. Also, Sarah could not have children.
Abraham was well aware of this, but his faith in God never became weak. He never doubted that God would do what he promised.
He never stopped believing. In fact, he grew stronger in his faith and just praised God.
Abraham felt sure that God was able to do what he promised. So that’s why “he was accepted as one who is right with God.””
