How can a sinner be made right with God?

The Bible teaches that the only way for a sinner to be reconciled with God is through faith in Jesus Christ. In Romans 3:24, we see that justification comes freely by God’s grace through the redemption that is found in Christ. This is because God requires perfect righteousness, which no one can provide on their own. By believing in Christ and His sacrificial death, one's sins are covered, and they are made righteous—thus justifying them before God. This transformative faith connects believers to the grace and mercy extended to them through Christ’s redemptive work.
