Understanding the Depth of Christ's Resurrection and Salvation

"Propitiation, it's a big word and they're gonna put a verse up there. Propitiation, that basically means that the wrath of God was satisfied on the cross. I don't know why they just don't say that, but it's this big word that justice, you see, justice has to fall on someone to be justice, does it not? Can you imagine our judicial system without justice? We wouldn't have anything because when justice is required, justice has to fall on someone. That's why Jesus absorbed the wrath of God on the cross. It had to fall on someone, the penalty of sin had to go somewhere in order for justice to be true." [00:05:28]

"Substitutionary atonement, I'm hoping you can put those words together and know what I mean. Substitutionary atonement, 2 Corinthians 5:21, God made him who had no sin to be sin for us. This is just amazing. The more I studied this this week, it's just these deep truths that often just bring you to your knees. So God made him, Christ, who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. This is interesting, a perfect sacrifice satisfied a perfect God. Innocent blood was shed for the guilty, and the sinless life was exchanged for the life of a sinner." [00:10:44]

"Redemption involves Jesus rescuing us from the dominion of darkness, reclaiming what was lost. This doctrine assures us that no matter how far we have strayed, Christ's sacrifice has the power to bring us back into the light. It challenges us to live as those who have been redeemed, reflecting God's love and grace to the world. Redemption is to regain something that was lost, correct? It's to go in and regain. I'm coming and I'm taking back what I lost. This is beautiful because in this area of theology, God is actually rescuing people out of the dominion of darkness." [00:14:02]

"Justification means being declared righteous through faith, allowing us to stand before God as if we had never sinned. This truth liberates us from the burden of guilt and shame, empowering us to live boldly for Christ. It reminds us that our worth is not based on our performance but on Christ's finished work. Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. So we've been justified. What does that mean? Just as if I've never sinned. That's the easy way to remember that because of Jesus, you can go and stand before a holy righteous God someday because you've been justified, you've been made right because of what Christ did." [00:17:58]

"Sanctification is the process of being made holy, a work of the Holy Spirit as we submit to God's will. This ongoing transformation requires our cooperation and surrender, as we allow God to shape us into the image of Christ. It encourages us to pursue holiness and live in obedience to God's Word. Sanctification, I love this word as well because this is where God cleans us up. Here's the big mistake in Christianity or in church today is this: we say we'll come to God when I get my life together. I hear this all the time on baptisms. You ready to get baptized? Oh, not yet. No, what do you mean not yet?" [00:19:02]

"Salvation is not about our works but about Christ's finished work on the cross. Many people are 'half right, almost saved,' believing that their good deeds will earn them a place in heaven. However, true salvation comes from fully surrendering to Jesus and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us. We are called to live boldly for Christ, not as part of the mocking or cowardly crowd, but as those who embrace the gospel with urgency and conviction. Most believe that works satisfy God's justice. If you take a survey, you go down a Venice Beach, you go to the East Coast, how do you know you're going to see God? What's the majority of people say? Because I'm a good person." [00:06:39]

"Jesus took our place, bearing the penalty of sin so we might become righteous. This profound truth highlights the depth of God's love and the extent of Christ's sacrifice. It calls us to reflect on the gravity of sin and the incredible gift of grace we have received. Substitutionary atonement, God made him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. This is interesting, a perfect sacrifice satisfied a perfect God. Innocent blood was shed for the guilty, and the sinless life was exchanged for the life of a sinner." [00:11:14]
