Learn about the blessedness of salvation, which refers to the state of being forgiven and having righteousness imputed to a person without works. This means that believers can rest assured in the forgiveness and inheritance that comes from believing in Jesus. Forgiveness not only grants access to eternal life, but it also qualifies believers to become heirs of God. Sin cannot keep a justified person from the blessings of God. According to Romans 3:26, the blessing of forgiveness also qualifies God to make believers heirs, so that He may be “just and the justifier of Him who believes in Jesus.” If you are seeking assurance of salvation, look no further than the grace of God, who justifies and forgives those who believe in Jesus.

Learn about justification by faith and its implications for believers. Examining Abraham’s justification, we see that he was not regenerated to become a son of God, unlike present-day believers who are sealed with the Spirit of Promise and made heirs. This difference highlights God’s intention for a new creation, where believers are regenerated to become sons of God and justified through faith in Christ. Flesh cannot be justified by the Law, and it is only through faith in Christ that we can be justified before God. Both Abraham and present-day believers were justified by believing in Christ, but present-day believers have the added benefit of being baptized into Him and sharing a heavenly position and blessing as joint heirs with Christ.

I’ve been needing to put a “statement of faith” together that summarizes our theological perspective for some time. A number of my writings recently have been a “warmup” for this.

A mystery. Admittedly, rewards are more mysterious–and are a mystery – because they are presented at a judgment seat shrouded in mystery. The Bema seat is a mystery that was hidden for people that hid in God. “And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of
