Ephesians 2:8. Unless you totally believe that there is no after-life, all people have a desire to go to Heaven and live forever. Because of God’s love for all of mankind He has offered us a free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. If through faith we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we can receive God’s grace of eternal life.

Romans 5:9. The key part of the definition of redemption is that a ransom must occur in order for redemption to occur. There are three persons involved in a ransom: the person being ransomed, the savior, and the recipient of the ransom. In the case of Christian redemption the person being ransomed is all of mankind.

Romans 5:16. Even though we have inherited a sin nature, all is not lost. God loves us. The challenge is that even though God loves us, He is a righteous God that by His nature must be separated from sin. Because of God's righteousness nature, He must destroy and punish sin.

Acts 13:39. If we believe in Jesus we are justified by faith before God (Acts 13:39, "And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses"). This is a blessing of believing. We are no longer guilty of sin and disobedience. We are justified by faith before God.
