Through FAITH alone in Christ alone.
John 3:36 “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
It’s so very clear.
Christ, the eternal Son of God tells us to believe in Him.
The one who believes in Him has eternal life.
But the one who does not obey Him, the wrath of God abides on that person.
In context, what is it that has just been said that must be obeyed if one is to have eternal life?
We must believe in Him.
That’s what was just said in the previous sentence.
Believe in Him.
That’s what He said that must be obeyed if one is to have eternal life.
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
To which I add AMEN, THANK YOU LORD JESUS!
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
? Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin? s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From a life? s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Could ever pluck me from His hand
? Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I stand
I will stand, I will stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground, all other ground
Is sinking sand, is sinking sand
So I stand
