From Enemies to Reconciliation to God
Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/kR3qudqXgUE
In this episode, Brian and Craig explain why Romans 5 says Christ died for us while we were still sinners and enemies of God. They discuss the guilt and curse of sin, justification by Christ's blood, the great exchange of our sin for his righteousness, and why salvation rests on Christ's work instead of ours.
