Sermon #21 “Christ—A Savior Who Has Paid the Wages of Sin in Full”
Lord’s Day 16 — Questions #40, #41, #42, #43, and #44
The last step of Christ’s humiliation includes his death, his burial, and his descent into hell. Why was his suffering of these horrors so necessary, and what did that achieve? In this sermon, Rev. Elshout shines new light on Christ’s full payment of the wages due for our sin, as seen under these three points:
1. This is Affirmed by His Death and Burial
2. This Yields Rich Benefits for Believers
3. This Secures Deliverance from Hell
