ROMANS: Why God Uses Big Words

Why does God use deep, rich theological terms like righteousness, justification, redemption, and propitiation, and how do they impact our everyday lives?In this sermon on Romans 3:21–31, Pastor Neil McClendon breaks down the pivotal center of the gospel where God's character is fully displayed. Rather than shrinking Christian truth down to simple feelings or self-help, Pastor Neil explores four major biblical concepts that explain how humanity is made right with God. Discover why God’s love is never based on our behavior, how justification frees us to draw near to His presence, and how Christ’s sacrifice reveals God’s ultimate desire for a real relationship with us.In this episode, we cover:Righteousness: Understanding that God has always had a plan to make wrong people right with Him through faith in Jesus Christ.Justification: Why forgiveness frees us from past debt, but justification grants us the complete acceptance and freedom to enter God's presence.Redemption: Learning through the story of Hosea and Gomer that God’s redeeming love is entirely unconditional and unearned.Propitiation: Exploring how God initiated the ultimate act of love by satisfying His own justice through Christ on the cross.Be sure to follow us:InstagramFacebookYoutube
