| What is your reaction to the crucifixion? What is the difference between the death of Jesus and the death of any other moral teacher? Why don't we say that Socrates or Buddha died for our sins? Its been said that the cross is the heart of the Christian faith, but what did the torture and death of Jesus actually achieve? The answer lies in the problem of the 4 P's. Romans 3:23 says, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." What caused this to happen? 1. The pollution of sin....Mark 7:20-22 2. The power of sin...John 8:34 3. The penalty of sin...Romans 6:23 4. The partition of sin...Isaiah 59:1-2. How does the death of Jesus address this four part problem? The Solution? Understanding of the Christian faith begins here....1 Peter 2:24, "He Himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds we have been healed." The result for us.....Romans 3:21-26... Verse 25 the pollution of sin is removed Verse 24 the power of sin is broken...we are redeemed Verse 24 the penalty of sin is paid...we are justified freely Ephesians 2:14 the partition of sin is destroyed Conclusion Romans 3:22 righteousness from God. |
