In the following 6 minute video, Dr. Mayfield discussed:
- Christian benefits of Christ’s work on the cross: forgiveness; fellowship with God…
- That the cross is a picture of how God must punish sin: death
- How knowing Christ’s sacrifice and familiarization with our own sin should move us to love Him and hate our sin
Dr. Mayfield’s talk is based on a Jonathan Edwards sermon: A Christian Spirit is a Humble Spirit; it is from the book, Charity and its Fruits, by Jonathan Edwards.
For other posts by Dr. Mayfield in this blog, see: Categories: Calvin’s Institutes; Jonathan Edwards; John Owen; and Thomas Brooks. In each post, a brief video is used to explain complex topics which are very relevant to the Christian walk.
