The Bible teaches that saved, born again people are only saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible also teaches that In The Lord all Israel shall be justified. How can both be true? If we believe the Bible, it is easy to understand.
Isaiah 45:22-25
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
Acts 13:37 -39
Romans 3:20-26
Romans 5:1-2
Galatians 2:16
1 Corinthians 6:11
Galatians 3:24 -29
Romans 2:28-29
Galatians 6:15-16
Praise God for this excellent explanation of “Justification”.
Salvation is not by our works of righteousness (good works) but by God’s grace through our faith in Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for our sin on the cross. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Gentile) (Romans 1:16)
“Know you therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham (Hebrews/Jews). And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen (Gentiles) through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. (Galations 3:7-9). The blessing of Abraham came on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ: that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Galations 3:14).
**Now to Abraham and his seed (singular =Christ) were the promises made. He (God) saith not, And to seeds, as of many (the Hebrews/Jews); but as of one (singular = Christ), And to thy seed (singular), which is Christ (Galations 3:16).
Praise God!
