Receive Christ by the grace of God through faith alone. Faith is the evidence that we are saved by God's grace (Ephesians 2:8-9). It is your assurance of faith. Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed (Romans 4:16).
Receive Christ as your redemption. His sinless life and substitutionary death on the cross for sinners is the basis for your redemption. The word redemption was used in Bible days to describe a price paid by another to set a slave or prisoner free. Your sin debt is paid in full, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24).
Receive Christ as your peace with God from all sin. Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). Faith is trust and confidence, relying upon Christ alone. By faith in Christ, you are justified with God.
Receive Christ as your righteousness. The only way we can become righteous before God is by faith in Christ alone. Righteousness is the gift of God to believers. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness (Romans 4:5).
