Summary

It’s Witness Wednesday!



Todd Friel is at Georgia Tech to talk with students about faith, morality, and Christianity. You’ll hear Todd encouraging everyone to seriously consider the message of repentance and trust in Jesus.



Segment 1:



• Think you’re good? Todd walks the student through the 10 Commandments to reveal the truth about our nature.



• A deeper dive into total depravity: why even our “good” deeds can’t earn God’s favor.



• Jesus didn’t just make up for our sin—He is our only righteousness.



Segment 2:



• “As long as you’re a good person…”—why that mindset fails the divine courtroom test.



• Religion and morality can’t remove guilt—only the finished work of Christ can.



• Jesus didn’t die to make salvation possible—He died to fully pay the penalty.



Segment 3:



• Two students confronted with God's law realize their guilt runs deeper than they thought.



• Why God’s judgment is just—and why sin against an infinite God demands infinite justice.



• Todd brings the hope of the gospel: the Great Exchange—Christ’s righteousness for our sin.



Segment 4:



• Jesus didn’t just offer fire insurance—He offered full reconciliation and adoption.



• Why fear of hell isn’t enough—and how God’s kindness should drive us to repentance.



• The gospel isn't just about avoiding punishment—it's about treasuring the One who took it for us.
