Forgiveness is by the grace and mercy of God not by our own goodness. 

Ezekiel 36:32

“Not for your sake do I do this,” says the Lord God, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel!” Ezekiel 36:32

All of us are sinners who fall short of the glory of God, and all glory and power belong to Him, “For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…” Romans 3:23 This includes every Jewish person and every single person in every city around the world. There is no difference between the Jewish and the non-Jewish. We all must be ashamed and disgraced by the way we live our life without God, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. “But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;” Romans 3:21-22

God sent Jesus Christ to everyone in this world, not because we were darling people with adorable attitudes, in fact, we are just the opposite. We are plagued with sin, people who enjoy carnal desires and the ways of this world more than caring about God as our Creator. There is nothing we can do to deserve His mercy and grace who forgives our sin simply because we believe in Jesus Christ who atoned for our sin. His redemption has not come to us for our sake because we are good people who deserve His forgiveness, but for the sake of His Holy name. In His Holiness, in His love, He chooses to redeem us to Him through Jesus Christ and to infill us with the Holy Spirit. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:4-10

We can assess that God sent His Son Jesus Christ to remit our sin while we were still sinners to reconcile us to God and give us eternal life. The diagnosis is that the Salvation of God is not for our sake as good people because we have all started out in sin with rejection of Him. By God’s Holiness alone, we are lost to our own destruction because His Holiness has no part with sin, and only through the righteousness of Jesus Christ can anyone be saved. For the sake of God’s Holy name, He sent His Son Jesus to atone for our sin and make us acceptable to Him. We plan to come with repentance to the Cross of Jesus Christ to reconcile to God by the forgiveness of sin. We implement that plan by believing in the heart that Jesus Christ lives and confessing that He is Lord. We know that plan is successful when we declare that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
