…God presented Jesus

as the sacrifice for sin.

People are made right with God

when they believe

that Jesus sacrificed his life,

shedding his blood.

…our acquittal is not based

on obeying the law.

It is based on faith.

Romans 3:25,27

We are made right with God

by placing our faith in Jesus Christ.

And this is true for everyone who believes,

no matter who we are.

Romans 3:22

…a change of heart

produced by God’s Spirit.

And a person with a changed heart

seeks praise from God,

not from people.

Romans 2:29

Don’t you see

how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient

God is with you?

Does this mean nothing to you?

Can’t you see that his kindness is intended

to turn you from your sin?

Romans 2:4

…ever since the world was created,

people have seen the earth and sky.

Through everything God made,

they can clearly see his invisible qualities—

his eternal power and divine nature.

So they have no excuse

for not knowing God.

Romans 1:20

…last night

an angel of the God to whom I belong

and whom I serve

stood beside me,

and he said,

“don’t be afraid…”

Acts 27:23-24

…take courage!

For I believe God.

It will be just as he said.

Acts 27:25
