If God’s favor could be earned, Paul’s impressive religious résumé would have secured his acceptance. After he met Jesus, however, Paul’s accomplishments and pedigree no longer mattered to him; he only desired to know Christ and be found in Him. Walking us through the doctrine of justification, Alistair Begg explains that our righteousness comes from our union with Jesus, not our works. Though unfit for heaven, we need not fear judgment, because our sins were judged in Christ.
