You A Totally Depraved Sinner
"...as it is
written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; THERE IS NONE WHO
UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE,
TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS
NOT EVEN ONE..." (Rom. 3:10-12 NASB). "...and those who are in the flesh cannot please God" (Rom. 8:8 NASB).
You Need The Righteousness of Christ Alone
"But now apart
from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being
witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God
through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no
distinction; or all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is
in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His
blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because
in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously
committed..." (Rom 3:21-25 NASB). "...But to the one who does not
work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is
credited as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing on
the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works…" (Rom.
4:5-6 NASB). "...and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my
own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the
righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith..." (Phil.
3:9 NASB).
Repent and Believe the Gospel
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matt. 3:2 NASB).
"...repent and believe in the gospel" (Mark 1:15 NASB).
"I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:5 NASB).
"...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house" (Acts 16:31 KJV)
“Repent ye
therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the

Declared Righteous Before God
"He saved us, not
on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but
according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by
the Holy Spirit..." (Titus 3:5 NASB).
"...for though the
twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that
God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works
but because of Him who calls..." (Rom. 9:11 NASB).
"We love, because He first loved us" (1 John 4:19 NASB).
The Jesus of the Bible
"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us..." (John 1:14 NASB).
"Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins" (John 8:24 NASB).
Trust the God the Father and God the Spirit

say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has
eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of
death into life" (John 5:24 NASB).

"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent..." (Acts 17:30 NKJV).
"...Who is on the LORD's side?..." (Ex. 32:26 KJV).
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.
The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!
