In the sermon titled "The Work of Christ," Caleb Hickman addresses the profound theological doctrine of Christ's redemptive work, emphasizing its significance for believers. He articulates that the work of Christ encompasses obedience to the Father, the salvation of the elect, and the commissioning of the Church to declare the Gospel. Hickman references Romans 7:18 and Philippians 2:25-30, demonstrating how Christ's perfect obedience fulfills God’s demand for perfection and secures salvation for His chosen people. The practical significance underscores that believers find their strength not in their works but in Christ’s completed work, which reassures them of their standing before God as perfectly righteous through faith.
“How do you become spiritually strong? By looking to Christ alone.”
“The work of Christ was to honor his father in life and in death to save his chosen people.”
“He was our substitute, bore our sin and guilt, made us perfectly righteous in him.”
“Everything required for my salvation and for your salvation, everything required for the salvation of anyone that is going to be saved, Christ Jesus met every requirement perfectly.”
The work of Christ involves His perfect obedience to the Father, securing salvation for His elect, and empowering His church to declare the gospel.
Philippians 2:25-30, Matthew 1:21
Christ's obedience is sufficient because He fulfilled all righteousness required by God and bore our sins as our substitute.
Romans 3:10, Isaiah 53, Romans 8:1
Understanding the work of Christ is essential for recognizing our identity in Him and the sufficiency of His grace for salvation.
