Only those who believe in Jesus Christ can have their sins forgiven and enjoy eternal life with God in his presence (John 3:15–16). This forgiveness can happen because the wrath that our sins deserve have been satisfied by Jesus Christ. The fires of judgment have passed us by and fallen upon him instead of upon us. As a result, those who have faith in Jesus Christ will be able to stand in the assembly of the righteous (Psalm 1:5). They will stand not because they trust in privilege but because they trust in Jesus Christ.
3 Ainsi parle l'Eternel: A cause de trois crimes de Damas, Même de quatre, je ne révoque pas mon arrêt, Parce qu'ils ont foulé Galaad sous des traîneaux de fer.
