Justification from God
Dec 16, 2012 • Pastor Brad Snyder • Romans 3:21-26
It's really easy for us to get bored with the cross. We tend to think that (even after the past two chapters) we are pretty decent people on our own and Jesus was just giving us an extra little boost into heaven. We can grow apathetic to the cross because when we look at it like this, it just doesn't seem like that big of a deal because we did most of the work of getting to heaven by simply being intrinsically awesome. Paul crushes both parts of this by reminding us that we fall so short of God's glorious standard and then packaging for us all that Christ did accomplish for us on the cross.
