Our neighbor's search for meaning (that is found in the gospel)

I just finished this insightful piece from The Keller Center on how our secular neighbors are "borrowing" the Christian categories of justification and sanctification to make sense of their identities.

Seems like all humans function in these categories regardless of what we call them.

People are desperately looking for a way to feel declared righteous (justification/identity) and live out of that righteousness/identity (sanctification).

As we apply the PPGR Preaching System®, this is a goldmine for identifying the Problem (the hollowed-out, performance-based search for meaning) and pointing people to the cross of Jesus for a secure righteousness/identity that we get to receive vs achieve.

A gift we don't earn and can't lose.
