The only sin with eternal consequences is not accepting the gift of the Cross. Without faith in the birth, death and resurrection of JESUS we condemn ourselves. Since faith is the most treasured thing we are given we must hold to it and tell others of the power that it has to save to the utmost those who place their trust in him.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to die for them so that they could live with Him for eternity. To Him be all the glory!
Justified is a legal declaration that someone is innocent and in good standing—right before God. Paul is arguing that justification is based on the work of Christ. Human effort—even when directed at keeping the Law of Moses (as primarily seen in the laws of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy)—could never attain God’s standard. Faithlife Bible.
Justification is a legal term meaning “declared innocent” It is a legal declaration that a person is acquitted and absolved. It is by justification that a person is righteous and acceptable to God. The death of Christ was the payment of our sin debt, so that we might be forgiven. NKJ Bible.
Acts 13:38–39 (NKJV)
38 Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; 39 and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Isaiah 53:11 (NKJV)
11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
John 3:16 (NKJV)
16 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.
