Life in Christ
Justification comes not by keeping rules or proving worth but by trusting Christ, for no one is made right before God through works of the law. The cross exposes human self‑righteousness and requires a dying to self so Christ may live in us, and that death unlocks true freedom from performance, status, and the need to justify ourselves. Freedom in Christ releases us from rule‑keeping and self‑promotion, frees us to serve others without seeking approval, and grants peace because our identity and worth rest on God’s gift rather than on anything we accomplish.
