Salvation

Joel Wood // Feb 27 2022

To say that salvation is found in Christ alone is deeply offensive. It means that all of our “good deeds,” all the things that we look at in ourselves to take pride in or boast about count for nothing. It means that we are no better than a criminal who mocks Jesus as he dies. It means that there is no salvation outside of Christ. But to say that salvation is found in Christ alone is also deeply astonishing. It means that salvation is instant and free. It means salvation is fully dependent on another. It means that what was destroyed through one man’s sin is fully restored through another man’s obedience. So that when we believe in him, we get to enjoy him and all that is his.

Luke 23:39-43
