2.16 Lee Tankersley, David Schrock, Stephen Wellum • Interview • "Does Penal Substitution Require the Resurrection?"

If Jesus died to pay for our sins, does the resurrection even matter? It certainly does! When Jesus walked out of the grave, he authoritatively declared that sin's penalty had been paid in full so that we might say with confidence, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
