We can't be justified by the Law, we've fallen short; it's only by grace.

Love and pray for your enemies.

The textbook interprets the passage as saying that even if forgiveness costs you (is very difficult), we need to do it because Christ forgives us. We must recognize the person seeking forgiveness as more important than ourselves.

Salvation is found through Christ alone. No amount of \"good works\" will get us any closer to Heaven because we still fail compared to God's glorious and sinless standard. Jesus brought all the sins of the world upon himself when he died, even though he lived a perfect life. His resurrection declared that sin has no hold over the world anymore because he defeated death.

Rescue, redemption, and renewal summarize the gospel message.

• Jesus has taken our sin and grief through his death • Through His death, we who believe (have faith) in Him can have healing and forgiveness

Showing love to everyone is the mark of a Christian.

• Christ died once for all sin through his sacrifice • People die once and then face judgment • Christ will return again

Thomas doubts that the disciples actually saw Jesus risen from the dead. He refuses to believe until he sees and touches Jesus. Jesus appears to him, Thomas sees and touches him, and he finally believes. However, Jesus says that those who believe without seeing are blessed—which is significant for Christians today.
