| Epigraph |
The Cross--where the God-man,
Jesus Christ, traded places with the sinners he redeemed,
exchanging his perfect righteousness
for their sin, condemnation, and death.
"For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin,
so that in him we might become
the righteousness of God."
--2 Corinthians 5:21  | |

[Foreword] It is a great privilege and pleasure to have the opportunity to introduce and commend this important book. [Preface] This book is first and foremost about the gospel, the good news that Jesus Christ is the sinless sin bearer of all who are united to him by faith. [Introduction] When the apostle Paul wanted to remind the Corinthian church of the gospel, he wrote, "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures" (1 Cor. 15:3). The word apostle means "representative," in the sense of one who is sent with the full authority of the sender. [Conclusion] Our book, The Great Exchange: Our Sin for His Righteousness, has come to an end, but Jesus Christ will never end, and neither will the validity of his finished work of substitutionary atonement on our behalf. | |
