Report from Australian General Synod

[Stand Firm] 26 Oct 2007--But in some ways the saddest thing of all today was that Synod declined even to make a decision on the following straightforward motion about the cross of Christ, presented by Dr Barry Newman:

“Synod humbly acknowledges that in the determined love of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, died for our sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, bearing our guilt in our place, enabling our redemption from the slavery and curse of sin, our total forgiveness, no debt owing, freely given but obtained at great cost, a righteousness from God, not our own, peace with God, reconciled to him, no longer his enemies, our adoption as his children, and our salvation from the coming wrath on the Day of the Lord, and gives heartfelt thanks to Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, for his overwhelming grace, love and mercy.”
