  • Notes: 

    If God is good, why is there evil?


    God’s goodness gave humanity the gift of freedom and dignity


    Humanity’s self-first posture causes ALL of us to misuse our freedom to do wrong


    Without justice evils wins

    Without mercy love loses


    How does God fulfill the requirements of justice AND provide the mercy love demands


    Getting the “essentials” of faith wrong sets us up to fail at what matters most in life


    God is Completely Good

    Humanity is Fatally Flawed
    Jesus is Essential
    Eternal Life is Relational not Religious


    How does God solve the paradox problem of justice and mercy?


    “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

    - Mark 10:45


    “I am the good shepherd, who is willing to die for the sheep.”

    - John 10:11


    “For I tell you that the scripture which says, ‘He shared the fate of criminals,’ must come true about me, because what was written about me is coming true.”

    - Luke 22:37


    “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations…”

    - Luke 24:46-47


    Substitutionary atonement:

    Substitute - a person that takes the place of another
    Atonement - reparation for a wrong or injury


    This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…

    - Romans 3:23-25


    …and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice…

    - Romans 3:23-25


    Jesus is Essential

    Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection not only cancels a debt we can’t pay, He cures our disease we can’t fix


    Salvation: can’t be earned

    Salvation: must be received
    Salvation: is about purpose


    Without Jesus both our debts and disease keeps us stuck
