Justification by Faith

We are inviting people to become part of God's family in Christ. The only badge we wear is the badge of what we believe and that's justification by faith. Paul says three times Romans three, Philippians three Galatians two, we are justified in the Messiah. In other words, when God looks at us, he doesn't see us as we are. He sees us in Christo, in the Messiah and the Messiah has died. Therefore we have we've left all that behind - it takes a lifetime to work out.
