Jesus Does More

I might even suppose that Apollos had a firm understanding of justification by faith through grace. That is, trusting in Jesus to be accounted righteous. Because this is conditional, on paper, transactional. It’s the Judge, God, declaring us guilty, and then the paperwork being filed on our behalf, and the Judge then reading, “Oh, well Apollos here, Kevin here, has filed the Jesus Clause. They’re stating faith in Jesus, and so we’re going to apply the punishment to Jesus. Sins are now forgiven. Price is paid.” Even that, is not enough. It’s not the full gospel..
