Summary

Many gospel presentations emphasize the fact that God has a wonderful plan for your life while spending little time on the problem of sin and how it is that holy God can have fellowship with people who have rebelled against him. But Scripture paints a different and much fuller picture of God’s saving work in Christ. In this message from Romans 3:21–26, Pastor David Platt unpacks the following definition of the gospel: the just and gracious God of the universe looked upon hopelessly sinful people and sent his Son, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, to bear his wrath against sin on the cross and to show his power over sin in the resurrection so that all who have faith in him will be reconciled to God forever. Though the problem of sin may be greater than we imagined, God’s grace in the gospel is greater still.

0:00.0	You are listening to Radical with David Platte, a weekly podcast with sermons and messages

0:39.3	Heather and I had a few days away with some other pastors that was very valuable.
0:44.2	I'm very thankful to Derek Thomas for preaching the word last week.
0:49.6	I fully realize that it was somewhat cruel of me to preach the message I did two weeks
0:57.6	ago and then leave you hanging last week.
1:03.5	There were quite a few questions after the message a couple of weeks ago and not a few
1:08.7	criticisms along the way.
1:10.3	It's good to know you're listening.
1:14.6	What I'd like to do real briefly at the beginning here is address a couple of the rumors that
1:20.1	I've heard over the last couple of weeks and address them briefly because we're going
1:25.3	to dive into these things in depth in the word in the coming weeks as a part of this
1:29.4	series.
1:30.4	But suffice to say, I think some of these rumors need to be squelched.
