Jesus Christ: The Perfect Man
Rick Gamache
Synopsis
A crucial part of biblical manhood is being able to articulate and defend the critical doctrine of justification. There are three "imputations" that compose the full-orbed doctrine of justification: the imputation of Adam's sin to every man, the imputation of God's wrath in the place of sinners, and the imputation of Christ's righteousness to the believer.
Christ, by His perfect life, secured the righteousness that is given to every sinner who trusts in Him alone.
"Christ is the one and only remedy for all men in all places at all times," Gamache said.
"The damage done by Adam's sin affects every human being because his sin is imputed to us, but the obedience is the remedy to the damage done by Adam because His obedience, His righteousness, His perfect life is imputed to everyone who believes on Him. Christ undoes what Adam did...How precious is that news! But Christ also lived for us which means that justification is not merely just as if I never sinned, it is also just as if I always obeyed."
Rick Gamache serves as senior pastor of Sovereign Grace Fellowship in Bloomington, Minnesota. In this address on "Jesus Christ-the Perfect Man," Rick unpacked Rom. 5:12-21 on the crucial biblical doctrine of justification by faith.
