“A believer is one who identifies with all that God affirms and condemns in Christ’s crucifixion. God affirms in Christ’s crucifixion the whole truth about Himself: His holiness, goodness, justice, mercy, and truth as revealed and demonstrated in His Son, Jesus. Equally, in the cross God condemns the lie: sin, deceit, and the idolatrous heart. He condemns my sinfulness as well as my specific sins.” - Alfred Poirier, “The Cross and Criticism,” The Journal of Biblical Counseling (Vol. 17, No. 3, Spring 1999), 18.
