Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of sin. But a question remains--why did Jesus have to die for our forgiveness? Why couldn't God just wave a magic wand of forgiveness? This episode delves into an understanding of sin and forgiveness in order to understand the significance of the Apostles' Creed's assertion that Jesus was "crucified, died, and was buried."
This We Believe is brought to you by Lexham Press, publisher of Dr. Niebauer’s forthcoming book Four Mountains: Encountering God in the Bible from Eden to Zion. Four Mountains takes readers through the whole story of the Bible through its mountains, training readers to encounter scripture like the early Christians. Learn how God uses symbols like wood, water, and fire to stitch together the Old and New Testaments, and discover how these symbols draw us up into the very life of Christ. Four Mountains can be read by individuals or as part of church Bible studies and Christian education classes.
