His death is our life / his damnation is our salvation original: Seeligkeit; meaning blessedness or eternal happiness / his condemnation is our absolution original: absolution; a formal release from guilt or punishment; an acquittal in the court of God.: In sum, his satisfaction original: Genugthuung; the theological concept that Christ’s death "satisfied" or paid the legal debt of sin owed to God’s justice. / merit / innocence / obedience / with everything that he is and has / is all our own through faith; so that the repentant and believing are therefore no longer sinners / enemies of God / and damned / but righteous / holy / reconciled / blessed / saved / redeemed / friends / indeed children of God / and heirs of eternal life.

Whoever believes this / and boasts in it / Romans 5 / honors God / seals his truth / John 3 A reference to John 3:33: "Whoever receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true." / and is blessed / Romans 4. Whoever does not believe this / blasphemes GOD / makes him a liar / crucifies Christ / and is damned / John 3. O, what an all-too-great love! O, a blessed Gospel to troubled hearts! Concerning this exceedingly great power of Christ’s grace over Adam’s sin / read the 5th chapter of the Romans.
