What does Romans chapter 3 say salvation is through?

Romans chapter 3 teaches that salvation is through faith in His blood, through His death, burial, and resurrection. It is by grace through faith, not of yourselves, not by works, repentance, or baptism; it is the gift of God. When a person believes, God does all the rest.

Les teaches that Romans chapter 3 says salvation is through faith in His blood, through His death, burial, and resurrection. He explains that this verse stands just like the other basic salvation verses excerpted from Paul's epistles: when we believe that Christ died and rose from the dead, we are saved. These verses make no mention of repentance and baptism, nor of any kind of works, doing, or keeping. Instead, they all say basically the same thing: by grace are you saved through faith, and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. If we believe it, God does all the rest, and we do not have to do anything. Les also notes the results of the power of the Gospel as people write and call, with the Lord opening their eyes that it is not what we do, but what we believe by faith.
