What does it mean to have faith in Jesus? — www.gotquestions.org — Readability

What does it mean to have faith in Jesus? — www.gotquestions.org — Readability: "The Bible uses the phrase “faith in Jesus” synonymously with belief in Jesus as Savior. Romans 3:22–23 says that “righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” When we place our faith in Jesus, we believe in Him, and God grants His righteousness to us."

Silence Regarding the Global Assault on Christians — patriotupdate.com — Readability: "Recently the assault on Christianity has become so blatant that the persecution seen overseas is finally reaching our shores.  In the past the persecution was somewhat subtle with occasional comments or off-handed jokes that when exposed brought a full rebuke from the media, as well as civic and government leaders.  However things have changed and in many instances we now find the media and government officials leading the charge in persecuting Christians in the United States."
