Series: Growing in Faith

Title: Biblical Faith, Part 1

Ref: Genesis 15:6; Romans 4:1-15

"Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness."  Genesis 15:6

Righteousness is "______________________________________" before God.

When we agree with God we receive the Lord Jesus’ perfect _________________________________ in place of our own ungodly sinfulness.

To be righteous before God two things must happen: sins must be ________________________ and sins must be _________________________.

We are made right with God through faith in what Jesus ___________________ on the cross for us.

1. You can’t earn your salvation through _______________________________.

2. You can’t earn your salvation by ___________________________________.

God’s standard for heaven is _________________________, absolute holiness!

We are all lawbreakers who deserve God’s wrath, that is why we are so __________________________________ for Jesus.

Salvation is by ________________________________, you can’t earn it!

We come before God with empty hands; unworthy, ungodly, undeserving sinners, who can by faith ________________________________ and grab God’s free gift of eternal life.

Who are you trusting? ______________________________
