The God who dies

1 Corinthians 1: 16 - 2:3

Introduction: Sin, Judgement and forgiveness

"Aquiting the guilty and condemning the innocent; the Lord detests them both"

How can God be right and say I'm right when I'm wrong?

1.0 Our sin is credited to Jesus by faith.

Isaiah 53:5; 2 Cor 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24; Gal 3:13

"God made him who had no sin to be sin for us"

2.0 Jesus' righteousness is credited to us by faith.

2 Cor 5:21; Phil 3: 8,9; Romans 10:9-10; 1 Cor 6:11

"So that in him we might become the righteousness of God "

3.0 Boasting in the cross - the blazing centre of God's glory

1 Cor 1:18 - 2:3; Gal 6:14; 2 Cor 5:11 - 6:2

"May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ"
