August 31: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Acts 13:39

We have a basis of hope for future life, in God's promise of a resurrection, which none but believers in those promises can have. Thus we have hope as an anchor which keeps us from the drifting doubts of the world. We have more also as believers in the efficacy of Jesus' ransom. We realize that while before as sinners, God could not recognize us at all, now as those whose sins have been paid and canceled by Jesus' death, we can come to God as sinless—"justified from all things." We can again, as Adam did before sin, call God Father, and be recognized by him as human sons. R364
