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.
