It all comes down to Christ alone: who He is and what He did. As to who He is, Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God. As to what He did, Jesus Christ accomplished our eternal redemption by being crucified for our sins and raised again for our justification (Romans 4:25). His person (Jesus Christ) and His work (crucified and resurrected) accomplish our eternal salvation. Like the Apostle Paul, may our focus be on Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
