Learn about the blessedness of salvation and how it refers to the state of being forgiven and having righteousness imputed to a person without works. This blessedness leads to heirship, as believers are granted to be heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ.

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.
