Gospel Pivot In Romans 3:21–26
- Romans 3:21–26 is presented as a concise, full-throated gospel summary that shifts the argument from law to grace.
- Jay and Kyle highlight this passage as the central revelation of God’s righteousness through Christ.
Righteousness Is Imputed, Not Earned
- The righteousness revealed in Christ is 'alien' and imputed, not produced by our works or law-keeping.
- Jay stresses Old Testament law and prophets point to that Christ-centered righteousness.
Propitiation Means Satisfaction Of Wrath
- Propitiation describes satisfying God's wrath and reconciling sinners through Christ's blood.
- The hosts connect propitiation to penal substitution and the need for a wrath-averting, satisfying sacrifice.
