Cross

Christ, the Power & Wisdom of God

November 19, 2020 / Filed Under: Devotions, Exegesis

Christ, the Power & Wisdom of God

We preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men (1 Corinthians 1:23-25).

What Is Imputation, and Why Does It Matter?

What Is Imputation, and Why Does It Matter?

Imputation is the act of one person adding something to another person’s account (Genesis 15:6). As believers in Jesus Christ, we have this clear assurance in Scripture: at the cross, our sins were imputed to Christ and Christ’s righteousness was imputed to us. The imputation of sin, as we see in Romans 5:12-15, is the way that God made for us to be saved. Our sin was placed upon Jesus Christ, and his righteousness was given to us, in order that we be saved.

Your Salvation: Paid In Full

Your Salvation: Paid In Full

When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit (John 19:30). The phrase Jesus uses here on the cross expressed a business transaction completed: “paid in full.” At the heart of trusting in Jesus Christ for salvation is the confidence that nothing else needs to be added to the price he paid, in his death, for our salvation. Do you live in the reality of a fully-paid salvation each day?

Crushed For Our Iniquities

July 14, 2020 / Filed Under: Devotions

Crushed For Our Iniquities

He was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). At the heart of the gospel — at the heart of what happened on the cross to Jesus Christ — is substitution. It is Jesus taking the place, and therefore the punishment, of sinners who deserved God’s wrath. At the cross, Jesus got what we deserved. Isaiah 53:5 gives us this clear insight into Jesus’ death.

Why Was the Cross Necessary, Given God’s Omnipotence?

July 12, 2020 / Filed Under: Q&A

Why Was the Cross Necessary, Given God’s Omnipotence?

Many people misunderstand the truth of God’s omnipotence — the fact that he has all power. So one might sincerely wonder why the cross of Jesus Christ was necessary. Why didn’t God just waive his omnipotent “wand” and make everything okay without his Son having to die? The key is to remember that, while God has the power to do anything he wishes, what God wants to do is always in accord with the rest of his attributes and character.

Forever Here My Rest Shall Be

Forever Here My Rest Shall Be

In a worship service in which I recently participated, we sang this beautiful hymn by Charles Wesley. I believe it was my first time to be acquainted with it and the words struck me powerfully. Too little thought is given, and too few messages and songs are devoted, to the marvelous and gospel-centering truth that salvation now and forever is found only in the substitution of Christ on the cross, for sinners.

Christ for Us: the Core of the Gospel

February 4, 2020 / Filed Under: Devotions, Exegesis

Christ for Us: the Core of the Gospel

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Although there is of course more to the fullness of Christian teaching than the brief creed the apostle Paul shares here, this what comes “of first importance”; this is the heart of the Christian gospel, the essential truths that separate Christians from non-Christians.

Are You Growing in Your Joy for Christ?

Do you struggle with spiritual growth?

We are not born—or born again—with a certain “spiritual DNA” that dooms us to dwarfed Christian lives no matter what we do.

Spiritual growth is expected of every Christian believer, no matter your background or how recently (or long ago) you became a Christian. And as we grow in God's grace, we discover our joy grows as well.

Grow: The Command to Ever-Expanding Joy will help you experience the ever-expanding joy of genuine spiritual growth.

“Feeling stuck in your spiritual growth? This book by Justin Huffman may be what you’re looking for.”
     —Donald Whitney


“The adjectives ‘good,’ ‘wholesome,’ and ‘nourishing’ kept running through my mind as I read through Justin Huffman’s brief work on spiritual growth.”
     —Paul Washer
