""But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it--the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. ... [we] are justified by his grace as a gift ..." Romans 3:21-24 What does the grace of God do? The grace of God justifies us. It declares us righteousness. * 1 John 2:15 says not to love the world. What does that mean? * How do I explain that Jesus is with us? Is it Jesus or just the Holy Spirit? * Do we need to confess our sins? Do we need to ask for forgiveness? * What is God's will for my life?
