Righteousness = “a validating performance record which opens doors”

One of the greatest problems plaguing society: we have a high view of man and a low view of God

“I do not know what the heart of a bad man is like, but I do know what the heart of a good man is like, and it is terrible.” -Ivan Turgenev

Romans 3:24-25

“The most terrifying truth in scripture is: God is good.” - Paul Washer

"The very fact that Christ suffered for us, and through His suffering became a propitiation for us, proves that we unrighteous and must obtain our righteousness solely from God."
- Martin Luther

You are no longer a slave to sin – Romans 6:6

4 States of Mankind:

1. Before the Fall
2. After the Fall
3. After Conversion
4. After Christ’s return

2 ways we typically treat sin

1. Too lenient OR 
2. Too harsh

Appeal to your Advocate

An ADVOCATE is: a person who publicly supports another person or cause

Rest in Christ’s gift

Propitiation = to appease

Pagan ideas of propitiation:

• Deity’s wrath was arbitrary and capricious
• Deity’s wrath similar to ours – based on unpredictable passions and personally vengeful
• Avert deity’s wrath through a bribe

4 Elements in Propitiation:

1. An offense, crime, or sin which incurs a penalty
2. An offended person whose anger needs to be appeased
3. An offending person who needs to be pardoned and accepted
4. A sacrifice of sufficient value to appease the offended person, resulting in pardon and acceptance of the offender, and a reconciliation of the two estranged parties

God put forward God to appease the wrath of God for sins against God.
