Christ Credits His Goodness to You

Main message: The sermon says the fundamental human problem is sin, and the good news is that Jesus, the Lamb of God, removes that sin and credits his own goodness to those who trust him. People are not accepted by God because they are naturally good enough, but because Christ’s righteousness is counted to them.

Key points:

• Recognize that you are a sinner and spiritually bankrupt.
• Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin problem.
• We are not made acceptable by our own goodness.
• Christ’s goodness is imputed or credited to believers.
• Trusting Jesus is like asking for mercy as a bankrupt sinner.
