Listen to Sermon 2009-05-17.mp3
In this is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the expiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:10-11
Maintaining this fundamental truth of the Christian religion against the various forms, phases, and degrees of its denial, the Lutheran Church teaches: – …
b) That Christ redeemed the world by His vicarious atonement. The active obedience of Christ, by which He perfectly fulfilled the Law, and His passive obedience, by which He bore the punishment of sin, were rendered in our stead and constitute our righteousness before God. Modernism and other forms of rationalism declare that the innocent cannot take the place of the guilty, but Scripture declares: “God hath made Him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him,” 2 Cor. 5, 21.
