Our final acquittal, that is, our being judged righteous before God, will be solely because of Jesus Christ's living a perfect life of obedience to the Father on our behalf, and His offering Himself as a perfect sacrifice on the cross as punishment for our sins. How is this righteousness appropriated by me? How do I get it? The Bible makes it clear that I am Justified not by my works or anything that I have done, but by faith - and by faith alone. The only way we can receive the benefit of Christ's life and death is by putting our trust in Him - and in Him alone. This is the Gospel.
