    Key Gospel Terms

    Getting the Gospel Right: Key Terms ExplainedThe beauty of the gospel can be obscured when we don’t understand the language Scripture uses to describe the gospel and salvation. Words such as redemption, propitiation, reconciliation, ransom, sacrifice, and substitution are not simply synonyms. Each helps us understand an important aspect of the finished work of Christ. In this episode, we look at these important words and the biblical passages that explain them. Propitiation addresses God’s wrath, reconciliation our alienation, redemption our bondage, ransom the price of our release, sacrifice the offering for our sin, and substitution Christ taking our place. Because of the finished work of Christ, we do not have to live defeated lives of frustration, discouragement, or guilt. Our ransom has been paid. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. We can rest in the finished work of Christ. Scriptures discussed: Romans 3:21–26; Romans 4:23–25; Romans 5:10; Romans 8:1; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13; Ephesians 1:7; Philippians 3:9; Hebrews 10:12; 1 Peter 2:21–24; 1 Peter 3:18; Isaiah 53; Isaiah 61:10; Mark 10:45; John 1:29.

    Redemption is Ours

    Redemption Is Ours — Episode 255This week, we continue our series, Getting the Gospel Right, by turning from the plight of man and our captivity to sin to the redemption that is ours in Jesus Christ, our Lord, and His atoning death. The idea of redemption in Scripture is not really all that complex. Redemption is a release effected by the payment of a ransom—a buying back, a purchasing, a deliverance from captivity. We are slaves to sin and desperately in need of emancipation, of redemption, of being freed, of having our ransom paid. Jesus Christ paid that ransom with the shedding of His blood. Romans 3 describes both our desperate plight and the beauty of our redemption. None is righteous; all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Yet those who believe are “justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,” whom God put forward as a propitiation by His blood, to be received by faith. This is redemption: liberation procured by the payment of a ransom. Romans 8 carries this beautiful truth forward: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Because of Jesus Christ—His shed blood on the cross, His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension—there is no condemnation for those who are in Him. The law of the Spirit of life has set us free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses. He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness, and the Son of Man came “to give his life as a ransom for many.” Christ liberates those who were enslaved to sin through the price of His own life. We are unworthy, but Jesus Christ, our Lord, is our sufficiency. It is His finished work alone that transforms us from the captivity of sin to the freedom that we enjoy in Him. We should rightly see the seriousness of our sin, but we don't stop there. We rest in the freedom from captivity provided for us in Christ through His redemptive work on the cross.

    Our Desperate Plight

    Today we look at the image of God in man and our desperate plight as people. Being made in God’s image makes us different from animals and other created things. The image of God was tarnished in the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, but it survived the fall and continues today. We are called on by God to subdue the earth. We uniquely reflect God’s nature and represent Him on this earth. We have responsibilities in how we handle God’s creation. We have a certain human dignity and should, therefore, acknowledge mankind’s inherent worth. We should value human life as a result of our being God’s image-bearers. Every human has inherent worth because of God’s image in us. The plight of man is temporary. This sinful world we live in is not permanent. Jesus Christ has atoned for our sin, and through Him we have victory over sin and death. As horrible as the fall of man is in Genesis 3, the good news of Jesus Christ and His grace abounds more. God gives mankind volition without giving up any of His sovereignty. God is not surprised by anything that occurs. Humans have responsibility before God. And yet, we can’t earn God’s favor through our own effort. This juxtaposition frustrates some earnest seekers of truth. The answer lies in clearly understanding God’s essence and how He relates to man. Romans 5 gives us comfort that Jesus Christ has conquered sin and death. Paul applies his substitutionary death and its implications to us in this section of Scripture. The abundance of grace is our sufficiency. Thank you for listening to Relentless Truth.
