About this listen

John Swadley | 1 John 2:1-2


What’s the core idea of the Bible? In this powerful message, Pastor John takes us to the heart of the gospel: substitutionary atonement.


We all understand justice—when something is broken, it must be paid for. But the beauty of the Christian faith is that Jesus paid the debt we owed. He didn’t wait for us to climb our way up to God. He came down to us. He took our place.


The gospel isn’t about “do,” it’s about “done.” Because of Jesus, you don’t have to run from God. You can run to Him. That’s the core idea.
