- By Faith in Jesus Christ, sins are propitiated and one is justified. And declared exonerated by the court. (MULTILINE)
Sin is universal, God’s righteousness is unavoidable, faith is the means to be justified by God, through the payment of Christ’s blood shed in propitiation for sinners, boasting in my goodness is excluded now. Where the law of Moses, or the law of conscience revealed sin, Jesus revealed salvation from sin and redemption from its penalty.
