Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:21

2 Corinthians 5:21 The Sinless made Sin and the Sinful made Righteous. I. Jesus Christ was personally sinless. II. As the voluntary representative of sinful men, Jesus Christ was through a limited period accounted by God a transgressor. III.

The text shows (1) the riches of the goodness of God, (2) the unutterable love... read more

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.A MORE important question cannot be asked than this, “How shall man be just with God?” In the words before us, that question is resolved.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:1-21

But the assurance of it is more to be remarked. “We know” that if our bodies were dissolved, we have a mansion in the heavens. On the superior excellence of the ministry, and on the eternal weight of glory, our confidence is built, that whenever we shall... read more

The altars have groaned under the victims that were heaped upon them; and the temples have been filled with the most costly perfumes. Men have every given the fruit of their bodies for the sin of their souls. We are new no longer permitted to wander... read more
