The means by which this saving work is brought to us is the gospel message, which is preached to us and must be received in faith. When this happens, the sinner is regenerated, justified, reconciled to God, and adopted.
It is “through faith” that we receive the righteousness of God and “through faith” that Jesus propitiates God’s wrath against us.
Faith is not a work according to Scripture. Rather, it is a determination to trust in God’s gracious provision of salvation through the atoning sacrifice of his Son, Jesus.
Salvation, as it is taught in Scripture, excludes any possibility of boasting by the one who is saved. We must not think that our own works have earned us eternal life.
