B. In salvation, God manifests His grace by applying Christ's payment for sin to the individual who accepts by faith alone the revealed righteousness of God through Christ. Jesus Christ accomplished this payment through His sinless life, His sacrificial death, and His victorious resurrection. The individual receives remission of sins, justification, sanctification, and adoption in everlasting relationship through the Holy Spirit.
Now, I am trying to figure out whether my editing changed the meaning of point B. I think the problem there in the wording comes from too many preposition phrases. There is so much to say, though. Could you divide point B into more than one point?
