God saves sinners solely by His grace through faith in Jesus Christ, our substitute and Redeemer.
The method of salvation according to Scripture is through grace alone, received by faith alone in Christ alone. This is foundational to Reformed theology, which emphasizes that salvation is not based on human effort or merit but is entirely an act of God's grace. The sacrificial work of Christ, who took on human flesh and lived a sinless life, provides the basis for our justification. In 1 John, we are reminded that God has given us an understanding of this profound truth. He bore the sins of His people and paid the ultimate price to satisfy divine justice, allowing us to stand righteous before God, not in our own works but in the perfect righteousness of Christ.
