The Active & Passive Obedience of Christ

Summary

Elder Michael Goans preaches on the doctrine of justification, emphasizing the active and passive obedience of Christ as the basis for righteousness before God. He explains that through Adam's disobedience, sin and death entered the world, making all sinners, but through Christ's perfect obedience and sacrificial death, many are made righteous. The sermon highlights that salvation is not by human works but by Christ's work, who lived a perfect life and willingly submitted to death on the cross. This obedience satisfies both the precept and penalty of the law, enabling believers to be justified and reconciled to God.
