How can anyone be sure God will accept them on the last day? From 2 Corinthians 5:21, Dr. John Neufeld explains the doctrine of imputation: Adam’s sin is reckoned to us, our sin was reckoned to the sinless Christ, and Christ’s perfect righteousness is credited to all who trust Him by faith. It’s the great exchange at the heart of the Gospel.

The Mysteries of the Cross: Why did Jesus have to die, and what really happened on the Cross? “The Mysteries of the Cross” is a five-message series where Dr. John Neufeld teaches from Scripture on the important and contentious issue of the atonement. He covers the fundamental topics of sacrifice and wrath in the Old Testament, Jesus as our substitute, the doctrine of imputation, how Satan was defeated, and who Jesus died for. Discover why the Cross belongs at the centre of all we believe and how we live. There is no greater thing that we can do than to plumb the mysteries of the Cross!

Sadly, there are many people in churches today who are absolutely certain they’ve received salvation, when the truth is, they’ve embraced an inaccurate or incomplete gospel. Or, they’ve heard the true gospel, but there’s no evidence of a transformed life. Could one of those scenarios describe you? John MacArthur helps clear up misconceptions about salvation in his classic study called Salvation Survey.

Restoring a relationship takes courage and humility, but it’s the right thing to do. Making things right is always worth it.

When life feels heavy, it can be hard to believe anything good could come from what you’re carrying.

In this episode of The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast, Jennifer Rothschild joins Meredith Brock and Shae Hill for a conversation about what it looks like to face real hardship with an eternal perspective. Walking through 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Jennifer reminds us that trusting God doesn’t mean minimizing what hurts or pretending everything is fine.

Instead we can acknowledge what’s hard, believe God is still working with purpose, and remember what feels permanent right now is temporary in light of eternity.

If you’re in a season that feels especially difficult, disappointing, or uncertain, this episode will help you see your circumstances through the hope of what God has promised.

You’ll learn:

• Why accepting what God allows is different from pretending it doesn’t hurt.
• How God can use even painful circumstances with purpose.
• Why remembering “Earth is short and heaven is long” can change the way we carry what feels heavy today.
