If Christ and His benefits were always an unconditional promise, why was the law given to Israel?

Sanctification is a promise; not a burden, and certainly not a threat. We are not progressively sanctified by wrestling our flesh into submission and making it holy—we're progressively sanctified by deepening in gospel faith.

The greatest need a person has is to be declared righteous by God. Unrighteous people are declared righteous in the righteousness of Christ alone, received through faith alone. The church stands or falls on the clarity of this fragile doctrine. It must be clarified, proclaimed, and defended at all costs.

Preached by Timothy Baird
