On this “Memorable Verses” episode of Deep in Scripture, Marcus Grodi and Jim Anderson look at St. Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 5:17 about being a new creation in Christ, and also his teaching in I Timothy 2:5-6, which talks about Jesus being the mediator between God and man who gives himself as a ransom for all. Marcus and Jim discuss how Christ’s saving work on the cross, which was offered for all, is the means by which we have the opportunity to become a new creation in Him.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men — the testimony given in its proper time.” I Timothy 2:5-6
