Good Friday: Understanding Christ's Complete Sacrifice
Remember, God calls his own out of the sewer. I don't think it is my primary gift, but I do love the Lord and I do love his word, and I know what he means to me, and I know the transformative power of the gospel in my own life.
Good Friday holds a unique place in the Christian calendar, but have you ever truly grasped its depth? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson unpacks the full significance of Christ's crucifixion. He argues that Jesus' sacrifice was not just a partial atonement but a complete and final act of salvation. Many religious traditions mistakenly teach that believers must add their own efforts to Christ's work, but Peterson dismantles this notion, emphasizing faith in Christ alone.
He also touches on the pitfalls of apostate religious systems that deviate from this truth. By the end of the episode, listeners will have a deeper appreciation for Good Friday and a renewed sense of the transformative power of the gospel.
