Source of Salvation
- Liberalism finds salvation in man, while Christianity finds it in God's act.
- This distinction is crucial because it determines whether religion is man-centered or God-centered.
Christ's Sacrifice
- Seeing Christ's death as merely a good example ignores our need for atonement.
- Sin is an offense against God, and we need propitiation for His wrath.
Need for Justice
- Troxell witnessed a fatal car accident in India where the bus driver fled.
- Police explained that villagers would likely lynch the driver or those who hired him, highlighting a deep-seated need for justice.
