WHY PREACH
THIS?
When beholding the trouble and divisions which arise because
we preach the gospel that Christ, who knew no sin, was made sin for us, that we
might be made the righteousness of God in him, some may ask, “Why preach this?
If this doctrine causes some to part then why not cease preaching this?” If we cease preaching this then we cease
preaching the gospel of Christ and him crucified; if we cease preaching this
then we cease preaching the righteousness of God which is what Christ came to
manifest; if we cease preaching this then we cease declaring the good news that
as truly as our sin became Christ’s so that he owned it to be his very own, Christ’s
righteousness has become ours so that we, even better, so that God owns it to
be our very own. You see, brethren, if we cease preaching this then we cease
preaching the glory of God.
