    We continue in the book of Romans chapters 3 and 4 as the Apostle Paul teaches us the amazing atonement of Jesus Christ, for you. Have you ever wondered if Jesus could have sinned? Can we rightly claim to be saved by our works, efforts or merits? What does the Word "Propitiation" mean? Craig and Troy talk about their sinfulness and their desperate need for the forgiveness of Jesus Christ, which He won For You from the cross and through the grave.
