Summary
The death of Jesus Christ is a demonstration of God's great love for us. God was righteously and justly angry not merely at sin, but at sinners. The death of Christ was a propitiation, a satisfying offering that God himself put forward in order to justly satisfy his own wrath, not merely towards sin but toward sinners.

Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.360
If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.440
would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.760
This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.880
to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:20.860
Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:31.000
First and foremost, the death of Jesus Christ, before it is a demonstration, before it is
00:00:37.900
an example, it is first and foremost payment. The death of Jesus Christ is first and foremost
00:00:44.800
atonement. The death of Jesus Christ is first and foremost God the Father putting Christ his
00:00:51.160
Son forward as a propitiation for all who would believe. That is a propitiation, a satisfying
00:00:57.740
sacrifice that Jesus was put forward on the altar as it were in the same way that the bulls and
00:01:05.180
goats would be bled out on the altar in the priestly sacrificial system of Israel and the
00:01:11.240
blood as it would flow down the rocks of the altar would satisfy the just and righteous wrath of God
00:01:17.940
not merely for sins but for sinners remember brothers and sisters that God will not eternally
00:01:24.900
be punishing in the fire of hell the theoretical sin of lust, the spirit of greed, but rather God
00:01:34.380
will be justly punishing not just sins in hell, but he will be punishing sinners. He will not be
00:01:41.360
punishing lust, but those who are perverts. He will not be punishing murder, but murderers,
0.98
00:01:47.720
not deceit but liars. God was righteously and justly angry not merely at sin but at
00:01:55.660
sinners and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ was a propitiation a satisfying pleasing
00:02:03.380
offering that God himself put forward in order to justly satisfy his own wrath not merely towards
00:02:13.480
sin, but sinners. So first and foremost, the death of Jesus on the cross is atonement. It is payment
00:02:21.560
for sin. But in addition to this, not at the expense, but in addition to this, it is right
00:02:30.400
for us to see the death of Jesus Christ as an example, as an example that we too should follow.
00:02:43.160
that a man should lay down his life for his friends.
00:02:47.260
There is a noble example set forth in the cross of Christ
00:02:56.660
that we should love others at the cost of ourselves.
00:03:03.980
there is first and foremost payment in the death of jesus that satisfies the wrath of god
00:03:11.020
but there is also a demonstration in the death of jesus namely a demonstration of god's great love
00:03:18.660
for us that god was not only reaching out to those who were lovely that god was not only
00:03:25.840
making atonement or sacrifice for those who were good and wonderful and god was not only making a
00:03:33.340
way of reconciliation, of forgiveness of sin for those who were neutral or indifferent or useless.
00:03:40.140
But as I preached last week, God was reconciling his enemies.
00:03:46.540
Jesus gave his life and bled out and died in order to pay for the sins of God's enemies,
00:03:53.200
for those who stood in opposition toward God. Thanks so much for listening. But real quick,
00:03:59.240
before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment, and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the
00:04:05.160
show. This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get this biblically faithful content
