Tim Keller | March 15, 2009
In Romans 3, we have the heart of Paul’s message about what God has done to put the world right in Jesus Christ.
Christianity alone says that God prepares a perfect righteous record through Jesus Christ and gives it freely to you. So you’re saved not by performance—you’re saved by faith. And that faith is not just faith in general—it’s faith in the blood of Christ. But what does that mean?
There are three words that help us grasp the meaning of the blood of Christ. We’re told here 1) what we need, which is redemption, 2) what he does, which is propitiation, and 3) what it means for us, which is demonstration.
This Month's Featured Book
In Christ, our living redeemer, we have the greatest resource for facing life’s challenges — his resurrection! In this book, Dr. Keller invites you to consider that the resurrection not only happened as a historical fact, but that through it, Jesus invites you to experience a living hope for today and the future.
