Today's Devotion: Romans 5:11 (New International Version) -Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Paul, here, is talking about our justification by faith and the peace and joy that we have in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Today's Comment: It is through the atonement of Jesus that we receive our salvation. Yet it is amazing how many contemporary Christians do not acknowledge this atonement.
I have been writing a paper on the theology of Rudolph Bultmann, a German theologian who views theology as an existentialist. He sees the Bible as a document steeped in mythology, whose message, when properly understood, will be de-mythologized and through faith will be applied so that self-understanding will be achieved. In Bultman's philosophy, there is no room for original sin or atonement. What kind of Christianity is that?
