Hello Church Family,
Potluck Sunday: This week, January 26 will be the first potluck of 2020!
New City Catechism Question 19
Is there any way to escape punishment and be brought back into God’s favor?
Yes, to satisfy his justice, God himself, out of mere mercy, reconciles us to himself and delivers us from sin and from the punishment for sin, by a Redeemer.
Through the work of our great Redeemer, Jesus Christ, we can be not only forgiven of our sins, but restored to a positive relationship with God. We don’t just go from negative to zero, and then have to earn our righteousness from zero. Instead Jesus removes our negative sins to zero and then gives us His positive righteousness. This is indeed Good News!
