Episode notes
Why The Cross Displays God's Glory
- The cross is not defeat but the means God uses to glorify the Son and vindicate Christ's claims.
- Alistair Begg explains that through the cross God displays power, justice, and disarms the rulers by accomplishing what was planned before creation.
Forgiveness That Preserves Divine Justice
- Salvation upholds God's justice rather than ignoring sin, so forgiveness is enacted consistent with God's character.
- Begg stresses God cannot simply pass over sin; justice is satisfied by Christ bearing deserved punishment.
Authority To Give Eternal Life
- Jesus has authority to give eternal life because the Father has given him authority over all flesh and a people from eternity.
- Begg ties John 17 and Ephesians to show predestination and the Son's prerogative to grant life to those given him.
The Westminster Shorter Catechism teaches that the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Is this your experience? On Truth For Life, Alistair Begg challenges us to stop and consider the immensity of what Jesus has done for all who trust in Him.
