Romans 3:23-27
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that past, through the forbearance of God;
Today's discussion is designed to raise several thought provoking questions to rekindle our appreciation for the price Jesus paid for our salvation. The first question that come to mind is, When you look at the cross what do you see? Do you see just a man or our Saviour, God's Son being crucified for the sins of the world as God the Father pronounced the whole guilty before Him? Do you see salvation through Christ's sacrificial death and through His shed blood salvation is made available to all who believe in Him? Do you see Christ's death as our substitute as mankind lacked the ability to pay his own sin debt? Do you see that by Christ's death guilt and the power of sin being annulled and man being reconciled back to God? Do you see through the propitiation by Christ's blood God's holiness remaining uncompromised and His love, grace and mercy on display? Do you see Christ's victory over sin, death and Satan, and all who believe in Him being liberated and are now free to serve God with all our being?

In the redemptive process the most important component is faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. This is the only requirement that God has for our salvation (Romans 3:22).
Without faith there is no salvation.
