Nothing will divide a church quicker than pride, and a divided church is a doomed church. Thankfully, the gospel is the great equalizer: it knocks us down in humility and draws us together in unity. The gospel of Jesus is the hope for a divided church!

Just as God used the sinful actions of Joseph's wicked brothers in their betrayal of Joseph to accomplish His purposes and preserve a remnant, so too God used the sinful actions of wicked people in the crucifixion of Jesus to accomplish His purposes and preserve a faithful remnant.

God justifies the ungodly. He declares sinners to be righteous. He withholds His wrath from them. How is that fair? How is God just in setting sinners free?
