He Chose Us First

Join Dr. Rusty for this message, which explores the profound truth that before humanity could ever be identified with Christ, Christ first chose to fully identify Himself with humanity in its fallen condition. Through His birth, suffering, crucifixion, death, and resurrection, Jesus entered into human weakness, shame, sin, and separation so that mankind could be brought into righteousness, life, and union with God. The sermon emphasizes that the Gospel is not simply about forgiveness or behavior modification, but about a complete transformation of identity—from Adam into Christ, from death into life, and from separation into sonship. By becoming sin for us, Jesus carried the full weight of humanity’s brokenness so believers could receive His righteousness, peace, authority, and resurrection life.
