Spiritual redemption is in the gospel or the good news of Jesus Christ. It is the power of God unto spiritual salvation (Romans 1:16). It is about the life, death and resurrection of Christ alone. The Bible says if someone preaches a different gospel let him be accursed (Galatians 1:9).
We need the life and death of Christ alone for our spiritual salvation. How do we know if we should accept the life and death of Christ alone? It is because of Jesus' resurrection. We have a sign from the Lord Christ that His unified merit is good for us to trust. There is no accomplishment like the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is no other human accomplishment that equals it in any way. There is no miracle done by mere saints that could equal Jesus' bodily resurrection. This is why Jesus' unified merit is enough for how we are right with a holy God.
Rome preaches a different gospel. She demands additional requirements to spiritual salvation. She requires the church membership (CCC 846), purgatory (CCC 1030), sacraments (CCC 1129), baptism (CCC 1256), meritorious masses (CCC 1405) and indulgences (CCC 1498).
There essentially two religions in the world; that is, there is the self-religion that relies on ourselves and there is the true religion of Christ alone. If we rely on ourselves, we will not achieve spiritual salvation. Grace is free and never to be worked for. Grace is the work of Christ alone; that is, it is all-sufficient, all-appeasing, and all-necessary for how we are right with God. We do not need our works to save us.
This blog web site is for the in-depth, sound and basic exegetical study of the Bible in Reformed apologetics; that is, I shall expound upon the inerrant and infallible Word of God, the Holy Scriptures. There shall be biblical studies in world religions and non-Christian cults. I also quote and research reformed writers and I am happy to study from them. May the Lord bless everyone who reads this blog with spiritual riches in Christ which is His imputed merit by faith alone.
