Jesus Christ is the Passover Lamb that His sin enslaved people need to escape God’s wrath and find freedom.

Believers are no longer in the flesh (don’t serve the flesh, walk according to the flesh, mind the flesh, enslaved to or obligated to the flesh), but are in the Spirit, which empowers them (indeed requires them) to mortify the flesh by the Spirit.

Whether Jew of Greek, Vermonter or flatlander, the gospel of God’s righteousness through faith alone is the only ticket to freedom from sin’s penalty, sin’s power and ultimately sin’s presence and a life of eternal freedom.

God is the God of both Jews and Gentiles, justifying both by grace through faith in and solidarity with Christ apart from the works of the Law, resulting in final victory over sin, which gives unified hope in present tribulation.

The good news is placed against the backdrop of universal sin and judgment which levels the field and should produce a church that lives out and proclaims that good news with humility and grace.

The gospel is the power of God’s saving righteousness which comes to all by faith alone, and thus gives hope to all.

The gospel is the power of God’s saving righteousness which gives us strength to live righteously in real love for one another and to hope confidently for a glorious deliverance from sin and suffering and death.

Sweetheart Banquet

True justice is ultimately revealed in Jesus Christ through His death on the cross, received through faith alone and completed when He returns to justly judge the world and recreate a just and sinless society.

Believers live in pursuit of heavenly riches and long for Christ’s appearing because Christ and his Kingdom are our singular treasure.
