An Introduction to Biblical Theology II with Matthew Dudreck

[@Pyroverbs205]

Will you go to Heaven? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and *Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case:* *"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”* Then Jesus rose from the grave, defeating it. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you. (living waters/ray comfort) God bless you.

How about the active obedience of Christ ?

@@jgeph2.4 What do you mean by asking "How about"?

[@jgeph2.4]

@@Pyroverbs205 well I’ve listened to Ray Comforts evangelical approach many times and very much appreciate his zeal for the lost . I just never hear about Christs active obedience only His passive obedience in dying for our sin. His active obedience is equally important as it gives us our righteousness needed to stand before God .

@@jgeph2.4 There is a whole lot more to the Gospel than what's being said, and if we're to write everything it would be a really long read. The beauty about that presentation is that it's brief and concise with the most important thing being said which is basically we cannot save ourselves because of sin but if we are saved then it's by grace through faith in (and through) Christ. Also, Christ sacrifice on the cross isn't a "passive" obedience. It's one of the most "active" obedience He's ever done. God bless

@@Pyroverbs205 Happy Lords day to you . The term passive obedience isn’t saying that Christ was not active but is referring to Christ willfully giving Himself to bear the punishment for our sin as the Sinless Lamb of God . A gospel without the active obedience (meaning Christ alone fullfilling the demands of the law in keeping it completely ) is only half a gospel and no gospel at all as it leads people to believe they keep themselves saved by their own obedience. I pray your Lords Day was blessed and Christ Centered Soli Deo Gloria ✝️
