Top Highlights

“When we give our lives to Christ to follow Him, our sins are forgiven, we are born again, and Jesus’ righteousness becomes ours. Everything that Christ made possible (forgiveness of sin and the conferring of righteousness to us) is brought forward, in the mind of God, to the moment of our salvation when we are ‘crucified with Christ’ (Gal. 2:20). We have peace with God (Rom. 5:1); we are saved from God’s wrath (Rom. 5:9); we are glorified (Rom. 8:30); and we become heirs, having the hope of eternal life (Titus 3:7).” (Page 118)

“Justice applies consequences to a person’s actions according to a fixed standard, without regard to favoritism or any other intervening thing.” (Page 4)

“God is an infinite, eternal spirit, the self-existent creator of the universe and the sovereign over it.’ While this definition is not complete, it is a good beginning.” (Page 3)

“not only to pay the purchase price but also to take us out of the marketplace.” (Page 116)

“We were absolutely in the power of sin and of the world. We belonged to the family of Adam, lost and without hope. But God, through Jesus, took us out of that family and adopted us into His, and that adoption wipes out the past and makes us new.” (Page 119)
