Objective Justification (9)
  1. The profound significance of Christ’s resurrection comes from the threefold justification it provides: it justifies the sinner, the sinner’s hope, and God himself.
  2. Far from being a Savior, the god of Unchristianity is a coach who whips us into moral shape, inspires us to be better people, serves as our example. The unspoken goal is to be so virtuous and free of sin that we don’t need Jesus anymore. The transaction is complete. Jesus is unemployed.
  3. All the weight of our sin is lifted by Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the whole world, past, present, and future.
  4. Any and all failure is re-written to portray us as either victor or victim.
  5. Out of His mind indeed, as He took our place between murderers and received the insults and torture of humanity.
  6. Christ is the answer to both the Who and the how of our extra nos salvation.
  7. Sacrifice is the beating heart of the Scriptures, but also of our Christian faith.
  8. God’s desire that all be saved led him to pay the price by which all are saved, all are justified.
  9. The Christian faith makes a bold claim: We are the world's problem, but we are not the world's solution.
