“What is the gospel?” Responses continuously return to an inward-looking faith instead of a faith that clings externally to the astonishing mercy of Christ Jesus, who took the sin of the world into Himself on the cross and breathed out His life for and onto His creation. In this act of sacrifice, Jesus is indeed the sacrificial Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. Through His resurrection, Jesus Christ has given His promise of eternal life in Him.
Jesus is the forgiveness of our sins, Jesus is the forgiveness for your sins, Jesus is the forgiveness for all sins, period. What does it mean for Him to be our propitiation? No, really . . . what does it mean? Craig and Troy untangle the truth of God's word on commandments and sin and separate it from the false understanding.

Craig and Troy return to the little book of Jude, where Jude reminds us of God's authority, ability to judge absolutely. The false teachers (or are they just false members?) that have infiltrated the church spread their demonic blasphemies, defile own bodies, and refuse to live under the authority of God's word and God's ministers. And eternal judgment awaits.
