This is the third post in a series summarizing the chapters of R. C. Sproul’s book, THE TRUTH OF THE CROSS.
Chapter 3 – Debtors, Enemies, and Criminals
“Sin is cosmic treason”
God is Author: (p34)
- “The word authority has another word in it—author. Because God is the Author of all things, He has authority over all that He has created.”
DEBT:
- Man is the debtor, God is the Creditor, and Christ is the Surety.
ENMITY:
- Man is the enemy, God is the violated one, and Christ is the mediator.
CRIME:
- Man is the criminal, God is the Judge, and Christ is the substitute.
- Illustration: Borrowing and not being able to pay vs. stealing.
Romans 3:26
- God set out “to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”
