First and foremost I must realize that I am a sinner and was born into this world spiritually dead and separated from God. Further more I am currently under the Wrath of God because of my disobedience and sin.
Second, Jesus Christ came in the flesh and died a sacrificial death on the cross to pay the price for my sins (past, present and future). He was placed in a tomb and then raised bodily from the dead on the third day. Now he lives and he offers his eternal resurrected life to me.
The moment I put my faith in Christ and what he has done for me in his death and his resurrection, I become a New Creation and I am justified and made righteous in the eyes of God. I am made spiritually alive by the life of Christ. This is not because of anything I have done or can do but only because of Christ.
Lastly, there is no other path of salvation. No other hope for mankind. No other mediator between man and God.
Scriptural backing:
We are all under
condemnation already before we come to Christ.
Joh 3:17 For God
did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world
might be saved through Him.
Joh 3:18 He who believes
on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
The Law does not
justify us, the Law brings knowledge of our sin and
becomes a tutor to point us to Christ.
Rom 3:19 But we know that whatever things the Law
says, it says to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be
stopped and all the world may be under judgment before God,
Rom 3:20 because by
the works of the Law none of all flesh will be justified in His sight; for
through the Law is the knowledge of sin.
Gal 3:23 But
before faith came, we were kept under Law, having been shut up to the faith
about to be revealed.
Gal 3:24 So that
the Law has become a trainer of us until Christ, that we might be justified by
faith.
Gal 3:25 But
faith coming, we are no longer under a trainer.
Jesus Christ came in
the Flesh and died for our sins, was buried and rose on the third day.
Joh 1:1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:14 And the
Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we
beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and of truth.
1Co 15:1 And,
brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you
have received, and in which you stand;
1Co 15:2 by
which you also are being kept safe, if you hold fast the word which I preached
to you, unless you believed in vain.
1Co 15:3 For I
delivered to you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for
our sins, according to the Scriptures,
1Co 15:4 and that
He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the
Scriptures;
We where justified by
the death of Christ while we were yet sinners.
Rom 5:8 But God
commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for
us.
Rom 5:9 Much more
then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through
Him.
Rom 5:10 For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God
through the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by
His life.
Eph 2:4 But God,
who is rich in mercy, for His great love with
which He loved us
Eph 2:5 (even
when we were dead in sins) has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you
are saved),
Eph 2:6 and has
raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenlies
in Christ Jesus,
We are saved by Faith
alone, by the Grace of God. We now are a New Creation in Christ.
Eph 2:8 For by
grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God,
Eph 2:9 not of
works, lest anyone should boast.
Gal 2:20 I have
been crucified with Christ, and I live; yet
no longer I, but Christ lives in me. And that
life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith toward the Son of God, who loved
me and gave Himself on my behalf.
Rom 6:4 Therefore we
were buried with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the
Father; even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Jesus Christ is the
only hope, he is the only bridge back to a right standing with God.
Joh 14:6 Jesus said
to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but
by Me.
Act 4:10 be it
known to you all, and to all the people of
Act 4:11 This is
the Stone which you builders have counted worthless, and He has become the Head
of the Corner.
Act 4:12 And
there is salvation in no other One; for there is no other name under Heaven
given among men by which we must be saved.
1Ti 2:5 For God is one, and there is
one Mediator of God and of men, the Man
Christ Jesus,
1Ti 2:6 who gave
Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
