We know God will save sinners because He willingly sacrificed His Son, Jesus, to satisfy justice and offer grace.
The certainty of God's willingness to save sinners is rooted in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. The sermon points out that it was God's own deliberate decision to bruise His Son for our sake, which asserts the seriousness of our sin and the depth of God's love. Romans 5:6 states that Christ died for the ungodly, hinting that His sacrifice is not for the righteous but specifically for those who are lost and in need of redemption. This highlights God's commitment to save those whom He has chosen.
Furthermore, God’s act of not sparing His own Son underscores His divine intention to redeem sinners. It reveals a planned purpose where justice and mercy meet. The assurance we have in God's saving power lies in the fulfillment of the prophecy and the reality of the resurrection, which confirms that His sacrifice was indeed sufficient to atone for sin. As we repent and believe, we are given the promise of eternal life, affirming God's salvific intentions towards humanity.
