By exercising faith in Jesus ’ ransom sacrifice, they are receiving forgiveness of their sins and are being helped to come into a close relationship with God ​ — in fact, becoming his friends. ​ — James 2: 23.
Ticība Jēzus izpirkuma upurim ļauj šiem cilvēkiem saņemt grēku piedošanu un nodibināt tuvas attiecības ar Dievu, pat kļūt par Dieva draugiem.
