The Necessity of Christ's Making Satisfaction For Sin

Summary

This sermon, preached in 1766, emphasizes the necessity of Christ's satisfaction for sin as essential for salvation. It explains that Christ's suffering and death were required to fulfill divine justice and bring sinners to glory, highlighting the doctrine's importance and its distinction from other religions. The sermon argues that without Christ's atoning sacrifice, sin cannot be pardoned, and sinners cannot be reconciled to God. It also addresses objections to this doctrine, affirming God's justice, holiness, and the covenantal necessity of Christ's satisfaction.
