Thank you @broncnutz for this lovely post.....highlighting the Good News of Christ Jesus.
If you do not mind I shall add the verse of John 3.16.....from the original Greek of the New Testament.
'For God loved the world (mankind) so much that He sent His uniquely born Son (Jesus Christ) that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish....but have eternal life.'
It is faith alone in Christ alone for salvation.
Thank you for the opportunity to think on these things.
Cheers!
