Faith in the Faithful God

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:23-24

Background Notes written by Pastor Bob Brown
Pastor of Adult Education and Sunday Evening Worship

"The coming of Jesus meant that God is faithful, but that faithfulness takes the form of Jesus' faithfulness. Therefore, because Jesus Christ is faithful he embodies everything the righteousness of God means. Jesus did what others before him failed to do: he kept faith with God and with human beings" [BN, 9].

So there you have it folks! The wrath of God has been revealed. Only God can judge fairly & justly. The law can't save us and it's only through Jesus' faithfulness / obedience we are saved. God and God alone, only He is able to save us through His Son Jesus Christ and the amazing thing is we are justified freely by His grace!

He knew we would need Good News. He knew we would need a Savior!
