This We Believe
His All-Sufficient Sacrifice
This week we’ll begin looking at the first sentence of Article 5 of the EFCA’s statement of faith. It reads – “We believe that Jesus Christ, as our representative and substitute, shed His blood on the cross as the perfect, all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins.”
We are glad you are joining us as we look at His all-sufficient sacrifice on our behalf.
