1 All have sinned, Jesus died for everyone

2 through believing in Christ

3 God atoned for our sins with blood just like in the old testament only this time it was his perfect Son.

4 "Since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith"

5 because we did nothing to become saved we are all equally saved.

6 It kind of came slow, having grown up in church it was always floating around somewhere. However I think that I really realized it when we started getting together with you guys and had a conversation on the subject.

7 because they either don't like being fully in God's debt or because they can't believe that it really is a free gift.

8 because once you understand that its a free gift you can start to understand how much God wants us in his family.

9 I would probably be angry, rebellious, and depressed, My life would be a good deal more unpleasant with nothing to believe in. I mean I am on the other side of the world from all my friends and family. But Jesus has been here for me to believe in when I get messy :-)

10 by believing in Jesus and accepting that we are approved. By Faith :-)
