About this user
I stand righteous and saved before God. I have broken every law that God has ever given. I deserve the very depths of Hell for my sins against a holy and infinite God. In me there is no virtue and no merit. Yet am I going to Heaven. Why? Based on the virtue and merit of another: Jesus Christ, my Lord. Grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone.
