Description
  • Packer looks at two attitudes to self-obsessions asked in the first century. 1. The Jews - looking for signs, when signs have been given. 2. The Gentiles - seen as foolishness, as the cross makes Jesus appear weak in their eyes. Packer looks at how Paul compares the response of those who have spiritually alive and spiritually dead to the cross. He shows that this contrast continues in the world and church today. Packer reminds the audience that there is a difference between knowing God and knowing about God, and that knowing God is the only way that we can be saved. He stresses that the gospel concerns Jesus as a story of what God has done. Thus, grace is revelation and revelation is a story of the work of God. He looks at what the gospel, seen in both testaments, teaches us about God, and that likeness of God was the aim of humanity. Packer explains that the gospel is not myth.
