Welcome and thanks for joining us! Our sermon series "What we Believe" continues with Question 19 from The New City Catechism. Why do we need a Redeemer to escape punishment and be restored to God’s favor? Who is the Redeemer that God has provided to reconcile us to Himself? Find out in today's sermon brought by our Lead Pastor Stefan Bomberger.
YES, OUR REDEEMER
1. Satisfies God's Justice (Romans 3:25-26)
2. Delivers Us From Sin (Colossians 1:13–14)
3. Reconciles Us to God (2 Corinthians 5:18-20)
Question: Is there any way to escape punishment and be brought back into God's favor?
Answer: Yes, to satisfy his justice, God himself, out of mere mercy, reconciles us to himself and delivers us from sin and from the punishment for sin, by a Redeemer (WCF 7.3; 8.1, 8.5; WSC 20–21, 25; WLC 30, 38, 71).
