By Christ’s suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time (Universal Justification), Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for all people by His precious blood and innocent death in our place. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it gives. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.

We accept this gift by faith, which is trusting in Christ and His life, death, and resurrection in our place ( John 3:16, John 1:12, Rom. 5:1, Rom. 3:26).
