What is the only remedy for sin?
The only remedy for sin is the gospel: that Christ died, was buried, shed His blood, and rose from the dead. When a person believes this, God imputes His righteousness to them, not based on works or human merit, because all are sinners born from Adam.
Les explains that the only remedy for our sin is the gospel—Christ died, was buried, shed His blood, and rose from the dead. When we believe it, just as God saw Abraham believe, God imputes His righteousness to us; it is all of His righteousness, none of our own. Salvation is not by works or trying to merit favor with God. The human race still tries to put God in debt, saying, "I've done all this," but God will never owe any man anything, not even a righteous man like Abraham. We must understand that we are all sinners by virtue of being born from Adam, and the sole remedy is believing the gospel.
