"Why did Jesus become a human? Answer: because the children who had been given to him by the Father were human and had to be died for, and therefore the whole design of the Incarnation and its goal, the death of Jesus, is for the children who had been given to him, namely his Brethren, namely the sons that he's leading to glory, and therefore by the grace of God he tasted death for everyone of them." [00:15:57]
"The analogy of a ticket to heaven is limited; the true purchase is the cancellation of sins, which is not applicable to those who face eternal separation from God. The essence of Christ's sacrifice is the real transaction that covers our sins, ensuring they are never brought to ruin us." [00:04:39]
"Hebrews 10:14 says by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are being Sanctified. By one offering, he has perfected John Piper for all time in his sight before his presence. Paul calls it justification by one offering perfected for all time. Hebrews 9:28 says Christ also was offered once to bear the sins of many." [00:04:54]
"Christ's death is effective for all who believe because their faith was purchased by His sacrifice, providing a foundation of assurance and emphasizing the sovereignty of God's grace. This truth provides a foundation of assurance, emphasizing that our faith and salvation are entirely owing to Christ's work on the cross." [00:20:26]
"The call to believe is universal, but the faith to believe is a gift purchased by Christ's blood, emphasizing God's grace in overcoming our rebellion. You discover that your faith, like every other spiritual benefit freely given to wicked people like you and me, was also purchased by the blood of Jesus." [00:18:34]
"Christ tasted death for everyone who has faith because the faith of everyone who believes was purchased by Christ. I'll say it again: Christ tasted death for everyone who believes because the faith of everyone who believes was purchased by Christ." [00:21:49]
"These are not people who just willy-nilly happen upon Jesus and believe. These are people upon whom the Father set his face favor and gave them as children to the Son so that the effect of the Son's death would be theirs. That's what happened to me. That's the only reason I'm a Christian." [00:13:17]
"Since the children share in flesh and blood, that is, since the children have a human nature, Christ himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might deliver those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives." [00:14:51]
"Christ died so that everyone who believes is saved by the death of Jesus, and the death of Jesus covers him. That's an agreed-upon point. But when you believe, as you ought to believe, you know what you discover? You discover that your faith was also purchased by the blood of Jesus." [00:17:43]
"Mark this: you did not make the cross effective in your life by your faith. The cross became effective in your life by purchasing your faith. I'm going to say that again because that's heavy and it's so important. You did not make the Cross of Christ effective in your life in the atoning of your sins." [00:19:15]
"Christ tasted death for everyone, verse 10, for it was fitting for him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. In other words, if you connect verses 9 and 10, now what you see is that immediately after saying Christ died for everyone, he gives as an explanatory support for this that God's assessment is that that should be done." [00:08:24]
"Verse 13 is even more pointed. Here he goes a step further and he calls these sons, these brothers, children of Christ. Again, I will put my trust in him. This is Christ's own confession of faith in his Father along with his brothers. I will put my trust in him and again behold I and the children whom God has given to me." [00:11:49]
