“Our view of God, as Christians, is coloured by our understanding of the crucifixion. It matters profoundly to us personally and corporately that we come to a better understanding.”
“Jesus was the sacrifice of righteousness, of whom we are the beneficiaries as His followers. We are justly declared righteous – not because of ourselves, but because of the One who gave His life for us – to whom we look in faith.”
“The Lord Jesus suffered unjustly at the hands of man and was condemned by sinners, not God (Acts 8:33; Acts 5:30). His death fulfilled not the penalty of God for sin, but the completion of all righteousness, whereby He offered up the perfect sacrifice for all who trust in Him through faith.”
“Although man is allowed to die in consequence of sin, the first death is not God’s punishment for sin, for we read: ‘…it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment’ (Heb.9:27, NKJ). Jesus was indeed offered ‘to bear the sins of many’ (v28), but in what manner and for what purpose did He choose to bear our sins?”
To God be the glory.
