A toast to Dear Old Pennsylvania God did not place me in this space to be remembered. I will not get to heaven and, facing the God of the universe, be asked what kind of legacy I left at The University of Pennsylvania.
The penal substitution of forgiveness If Jesus can substitute Himself to take on the penalty we deserve so that our sins against a holy God may be atoned, who are we to turn to another and say that they must receive their penalty for their sins against us?
Partaking in the death and resurrection of Christ God sacrifices himself for the forgiveness of our sins and offers us to partake in His own death through the gift of faith which He Himself provides that we may be a new creation in Christ Jesus.
God’s sovereignty over evangelism “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth” (1 Corinthians 3:6-7). This is our imperative; plant, water, and wait in humility for God to give growth.
