Justification (131)
Filter by:
  1. Christians have long enjoyed an absurd love affair with white-washing biblical saints.
  2. God preaches a concrete word to us in the present tense. We hear the Good News that Jesus is God’s mercy for us.
  3. Jesus dies for the sin of the world. That means he dies for the person who disappoints us. He shed His blood for the person who doesn’t love us the way we want to be loved.
  4. The Gospel is simple to confess. That is, we are justified by faith alone, through Christ alone, without the works of the Law.
  5. Our complaints about God's grace always sound the same: "It was good to see him in church with his son this morning.
  6. Why confess sin? Is it so we can get rewarded by God? A little extra grace or material good for our troubles, maybe.
  7. All the verbs of our salvation are passive. God calls and gathers people to him through his Gospel.
  8. Without the “simul” distinction, theology lapses into moralism.
  9. When we focus on God's self-giving Word, when we turn our attention to Golgotha, we are shown a wholly different way of viewing the Commandments.
  10. “The strongest person in the room doesn't win the fight," she said, "it’s whoever's the meanest…” I was fifteen years old when my aunt taught me that.
  11. The pastor declares it. We receive it. The forgiveness of sins. It’s a simple thing.
  12. A heart that wants nothing that is not from God can only occur by the Holy Spirit speaking the Gospel into our hearts.
