The Blood
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7, NSV).
Pastor John shares excerpts from Robert Law’s The Tests of Life: A Study of the First Epistle of St. John, Being the Kerr Lectures for 1909 (Edinburgh, T&T Clark, 1909), elaborating on the meaning of “propitiation.” Robert Law was a contemporary of James Denney and closest in agreement with him on the meaning of the atonement as the ultimate demonstration of what sin means to God and the cost of his love as demonstrated in the cross of Christ.
