1. ___ is a _ _ received through _ and ___ in

jesus christ.

Explanation:

1. Romans 8:38 - 39 in the ESV states "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
2. The substitutionary atonement of Christ is Christ's sacrifice in place of sinners.
3. Condemning messages from unbelievers could include statements like "You're a hypocrite for following a religion" or "Your beliefs are outdated and silly."
4. These messages are false because they are often based on misunderstandings, personal biases, or a lack of knowledge about the tenets of the faith. The Bible provides a foundation of truth and love that defies such baseless accusations.
5. One can respond by calmly stating one's beliefs, showing love and patience, and perhaps sharing relevant Bible - verses or personal experiences that explain the faith.
