Psalms
God never deserts us, when we have faith in him.

Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Our sins are paid for through faith in the birth of Christ, his crucifixion as the sacrifice for our sins, and his resurrection that we might have life as well.
Romans
We are made right in God’s eyes by faith in Christ, not by anything we do, such as following a set of rules or laws.
