Jan 4, 2022 · In Christ we “have been set free from sin” (Romans 6:18). – We need to be saved because we are at odds with God. “The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God” (Romans 8:7–8). We need Jesus, the Prince of Peace, to ...

Take it apart for just a few minutes with me. God put Christ forward as a propitiation by his blood. Romans 8:3: “God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh.” Whose sin? Mine. Whose flesh? Christ’s. That’s an amazing statement. Con...
Why did he need to do it that way? Why did Christ need to die in order to placate God’s wrath? “This was to show God’s righteousness.” So, Christ died; God put him forward to die. This was to show God’s righteousness. Why did he need to show his righteousness? That’s a pretty high price for a demonstration of righteousness. Why did he need to show ...
Now, why does that call the righteousness of God into question when he passes over such sin? Because when God, as he does for all of his people, passes over — does not condemn — sinners who have trampled his glory and demean his glory every single day of our lives, it looks as though he thinks that’s no big deal: to trample the glory of God is no b...
So, in John 17, Jesus expresses this idea: “I want them to see me — I want them to see me risen, triumphant, glorious, all-satisfying in my glory, so that my glory will continue to be exalted forever, and their joy would be full” (see John 17:24). And at the center is the cross, making that possible for sinners. As God says, “I put my Son forward t...
May 19, 2021 · Those who walk according to the ways of the world walk with Satan, and he doesn’t go out of his way to bother them. But those who are in Christ will become targets of Satan who will use all of his diabolical techniques to thwart and hinder the child of God. This is why it’s vital to walk with Christ, His way. Remember Jesus said, “Follow ...
Jul 8, 2015 · You have to press them and press them and press them until you arrive at something that sounds good. And they don’t sound good yet. I mean, saved sounds sort of good, but you don’t know what you are saved from or what you are saved for. So let’s say we are saved from wrath, judgment, hell, condemnation — yes, good.
In His grace and mercy, God has made a way for us to be saved; all we must do is turn to Him (called repentance) and receive that grace by faith (Ephesians 2:8–9). When we place our faith in Jesus and His sacrifice for us, we are saved (Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:8–9). Jesus is the only way to God: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life.

Jul 12, 2024 · Part of receiving the gospel is admitting that we have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). This is important because it acknowledges why Jesus entered the world to save us. If we do not believe we need to be saved, we will not care about salvation. Passages such as Acts 16:31 and Romans 10:9 say that we must believe in ...
