What Happens When You Deny God, Why Jesus Is the Final Sacrifice, and a Question About Your Local Area

Happy Good Friday! Welcome back to The Think Institute Newsletter.

If you're new here, this is your weekly dispatch from The Think Institute, where we help you build your legacy in the truth of God’s by equipping you with the tools you need to lead your family, articulate the Christian message, and boldly defend the faith.

Before we dive in, here are two quick updates:

1. The Hammer & Anvil Society—our discipleship brotherhood for Christian men—has officially launched the Worldview Leader Journey, a 32-week program in Biblical Worldview, Family Leadership, and Apologetics. Join now and try it free for 8 weeks here: thethink.institute/society

2. Our Substack, Worldview Legacy, is live. Every week we’re publishing new articles designed to help you destroy strongholds and stand firm on biblical truth in an age of confusion. Subscribe here: https://thethinkinstitute.substack.com (and be sure to check out my new article for Easter).

Now, let’s get into this week’s Newsletter. Every week you get:
• An idea from me
• A quote from somebody else
• Something to think about

AN IDEA FROM ME

“When a person adopts atheism, he does more than simply deny a claim. He commits himself to the worldview that truth goes out the window, science is pointless, and morality is done away with. But Jesus Christ offers a much better way. Jesus Christ, while we were yet sinners, following our own way—Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and was raised to life on the third day.”

—From the teaching video, Atheism Refuted in 15 Minutes | Presuppositional Apologetics Made Simple + Live Theology Q&A [Watch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/live/S2wmrT_dhvQ]

A QUOTE FROM SOMEBODY ELSE

“That's who Jesus Christ is. He became the final Priest and the final Sacrifice. Sinless, he did not offer sacrifices for himself. Immortal, he never has to be replaced. Human, he could bear human sins. Therefore he did not offer sacrifices for himself; he offered himself as the final sacrifice. There will never be the need for another. There is one mediator between us and God. One priest. We need no other. Oh, how happy are those who draw near to God through Christ alone.”

—John Piper, The Passion of Jesus Christ
