Week 7: Thursday Discipleship
-
Titus 3:4-7
But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
-
Hebrews 9:11-14
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

Q-How can we, who have all sinned, be justified and made righteous before God?
A-We are justified and made righteous before God solely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God presented as a sacrifice of atonement. This righteousness is received through faith in Jesus Christ, apart from any works or adherence to the law.

Isaiah 53:5
But he was pierced for our transgressions;

upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed. -
