WHAT IS THE GOSPEL: GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS REVEALED Part 2

Send us Fan MailIn this concluding episode of What Is the Gospel?, Michael Durham presses us to look unflinchingly at the cross—not merely as a symbol of love, but as the public display of God’s perfect righteousness. Drawing from Romans 3 and the imagery of the Day of Atonement, this message unfolds the weighty truth of propitiation: Christ’s blood does not merely cover sin; it makes God approachable. Here, justice is not set aside but fully satisfied, as the Father sets forth the Son as both Priest and sacrifice, proving that no sin—past, present, or future—has been ignored.This episode is a call to move beyond familiarity with gospel language into the reality of saving faith. What does it truly mean to be justified? What kind of faith actually unites us to Christ? With pastoral urgency and evangelistic clarity, Durham exposes false assurances and invites listeners into desperate dependence on Christ alone—a faith that produces love, joy, obedience, and continual return to the cross. If you want to understand why the gospel is not just good news but astonishing news, this is an episode you need to hear.
