NASB | 1 John 2:2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:2 And He [that same Jesus] is the propitiation for our sins [the atoning sacrifice that holds back the wrath of God that would otherwise be directed at us because of our sinful nature--our worldliness, our lifestyle]; and not for ours alone, but also for [the sins of all believers throughout] the whole world. |
Subject: How do we preach the Gospel? |
Bible Note: Colin: I read the Chambers quote and I agree with it. (I am a huge fan of Chambers and his book, MUHH. No one can read this book daily for a year without having their life changed.) I would say we ought to witness with wisdom, speaking the truth in love. But, when it comes to boldly proclaiming (preaching) the gospel of Jesus Christ, we ought to "cry aloud and spare not." You have to get a man lost before he can be saved. Meaning that you have to show him he is a sinner before you can get to him to acknowledge his need of a Savior. Grace to you, Radioman2 |
