Knowing what TGC (at least used to) stand for, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that a) we assume everyone is a sinner, so no proof is required, and b) that proof to people of their worth is that their worth is imputed to them via the work of Christ on the Cross and in his life. He died the death we should have died and lived the life we should have lived.

Not the best worded Tweet though in this moaralistic age we DO indeed live in. How does he say we don’t live in a moralistic age? Virtue signaling, PC and wokeism are the very definition of moralism.

We cannot have 'b' without 'a.'

quote:

"...but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8


Recognizing our sinful nature is the first step before coming before God in repentance having then realized what Christ had to go through in order to reconcile us with the Father. Sin absolutely cannot and should not be minimized, obfuscated and/or removed from the conversation.
