The active obedience of Christ refers to the righteousness He earned by perfectly keeping the law of God. His passive obedience was manifested when He willingly submitted Himself to the curse of the law and the wrath of the Father on the cross. In this sermon, R.C. Sproul considers why both the active and passive obedience of Christ are essential to the doctrine of justification and why both are necessary for our peace with God.
