"Thus the cross is, for me, not a substitute for a punishment we all deserve, but rather a revelation of a love that is infinitely tender and deeply mysterious."Read that. Take it in. It is pretty clear. You know what else it is? Dead wrong. Here is what the cross of Jesus Christ truly means:
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." - Romans 3:23-26 (emphasis added)
Christian, beware of the evil doctrines that tickle the ears and appease the mind's depraved appetite.
