You Were Born Saved

How can a just God declare sinners righteous without compromising His own law?

For nearly five centuries, Christians have debated how salvation works. The Protestant Reformation emphasized justification by faith, while the Catholic Counter-Reformation challenged how God could declare the ungodly righteous without compromising His justice.

You Were Born Saved asks a deeper question: What did God actually accomplish through Jesus Christ?

Before Paul explains justification by faith, he presents Christ as the Second Adam-the Representative of humanity. Through His incarnation, perfect obedience, death, resurrection, and eternal priesthood, Christ entered fully into the human story and accomplished what humanity could not.

From Genesis to Revelation, You Were Born Saved explores:

• Christ as the Second Adam
• Justification by faith
• God's law, justice, and grace
• Christ's representative work for humanity
• His eternal priesthood
• Faith as the response to Christ's finished work

Faith does not create salvation. It receives what God has already accomplished in Christ.

You Were Born Saved invites readers to reconsider familiar questions about salvation by returning to the apostles' starting point: Jesus Christ and His finished work for humanity.
