“Right faith is of necessity required for Baptism, since it is said: "the justice of God is by faith in Jesus Christ" (Romans 3:22) ...

“We really are immortal in the sense that Christ’s Atonement conquers death, both physical and spiritual. And provided we have so lived Today that we have claim on the Atonement’s cleansing grace, we will live forever with God. This life is not so much a time for getting and accumulating as it is a time for giving and becoming. Mortality is the battlefield upon which justice and mercy meet. But they need not meet as adversaries, for they are reconciled in the Atonement of Jesus Christ for all who wisely use Today.” NeedsGivingUseTodaySpiritualLife IsJesusChristJusticeForeverGraceBecomingJesus ChristMercyClaimsConquerThis LifeImmortalMortalityAdversariesBattlefieldsAtonementLive ForeverCleansingJustice And Mercy Author:Lance B.

“One of my defining beliefs is that Jesus Christ has taken all of my guilt before God, and that he has been raised from the dead.

“For Paul 'righteousness' and 'justice' are the same word, as they were in Hebrew. Paul clearly believes that helping the poor is a central and ongoing part of Christian commitment, precisely because in Jesus Christ God has unveiled and launched his plan for the rescue, redemption and renewal of the whole creation.
