Most Christians understand the power of the Gospel to justify by the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ for their sins. But is this the extent Gospel’s work in our lives? 2 Corinthians 3:18 shows us that the Gospel not only justifies us but it also powerfully sanctifies us conforming to the image of Jesus Christ.

In Luke 12:15-34, Jesus warns his followers against covetousness and reveals how his kingdom satisfies the longings of our hearts better than any kingdom of comfort we could make.

In Hebrews 10:1-25, the author of Hebrews shows how Jesus bridges the gap between the old and the new, along with the gap between salvation and sanctification.

Advent celebrates the transcendent God becoming immanent and intimate with his people. Hebrews 2:10-18 shows some of the attributes which Jesus shares with us, and us with him, in his incarnation.

Hebrews 1 and 2:5-9 shows the ways in which Jesus was distinct from those who came before him and calls us to consider what it looks like to be ruled by this kind of King.
