Salvation (4)
  1. When you remember your baptism, you're not recalling a ritual. You're standing under a current of divine action that has not ceased to flow since the moment those baptismal waters hit your skin.
  2. Like the serpent on the pole, God still puts real-life things up for us to look to for salvation.
  3. What the law is powerless to do, Jesus accomplishes for us. Jesus delivers what the law demands.
  4. The gospel is the good news that in Christ we have been given the very righteousness of Christ himself. This means that everything God commands of us is given to us in Christ as a gift.
