N. T. Wright & Rome Wrong on Christ's Atonement | 2 Corinthians 5:21 21 Him who knew no sin he made `to be' sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him. – Pastor Patrick Hines #shorts ▶️LINK TO FULL VIDEO: Penal Substitutionary Atonement Defended From Scripture | 2 Corinthians 5:21 21 Him who knew no sin he made `to be' sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him. – Pastor Patrick Hines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNC7xdMPGk8&list=PLzOwqed_gET2vqbY_shSW0MfXtYGSoCnT&index=2 A defense of the penal substitutionary death of Jesus Christ on the cross for His elect people. 1. Isaiah 53:4 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. –12 Christ is the suffering Servant who bears guilt, receives penal judgment, and secures justification: “wounded for our transgressions,” “the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all,” “make his soul an offering for guilt,” and “he shall bear their iniquities.” 2. Romans 3:21 21 But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; –26 God set Christ forth as a propitiation by his blood. The cross is not merely a display of love, but God’s public demonstration of justice: God is “just and the justifier” of the one who has faith in Jesus. 3. 2 Corinthians 5:21 21 Him who knew no sin he made `to be' sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him. “He made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” This is double imputation: our sin reckoned to Christ; his righteousness reckoned to believers. 4. Galatians 3:10 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them. –13 The law pronounces a curse on lawbreakers. Christ redeems us by “becoming a curse for us.” That is penal, substitutionary, and redemptive. 5. 1 Peter 2:24 24 who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed. ; 3:18 “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree.” “Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God.” 6. Hebrews 9:12 12 nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption. –28; 10:10–14 Christ offers himself once for all, obtains eternal redemption, bears the sins of many, and perfects forever those being sanctified. 7. John 10:11 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. , 14–15, 26–29 Jesus lays down his life specifically “for the sheep.” His death is not merely hypothetical; it actually secures the salvation of those given to him by the Father.
