The Substitutionary Death of Christ and Discipleship

The reality of the substitutionary death of Christ frees us to serve Christ and experience His power in our day to day lives. Without this central doctrine the life of discipleship degenerates into meaningless and dead works. The substitutionary death of Christ frees us to practice the disciplines of discipleship out of love and devotion to Christ experiencing His power as opposed to meaningless dead works which leads only to weariness and discouragement.
