The 'Three Rs'

As Easter approaches I would like to provide a reminder of what Jesus' death on the cross accomplished.



The following is from Cross Words by Paul Wells.

The results of salvation can be described in a precise way by the 'three Rs': redemption, righteousness, and reconciliation. In the New Testament these words indicate the outcome of salvation, focused on the person of Christ:

• the redeemer who provides freedom;


• the holy one who establishes rightness before God;


• and the author of reconciliation between God and sinners.
