    Through Faith Alone Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 9, 2017
     | 4,666 views

    Jesus went willingly to His death for our sakes, to fulfill the covenant obligation God freely took on with Abraham.

    We killed Him. O, I know the Roman procurator read the sentence, and Roman soldiers beat Jesus and crowned Him with thorns and hammered in the nails. They were what philosophers would call the “efficient cause” of Christ’s death. But Adam and Eve and David and Caligula and ...read more
