We Were Saved on a Cross': Former Senator Ben Sasse Breaks Down in Tears While Discussing His Faith and Bleak Cancer Diagnosis
"We'll definitely get back to how we're all on the clock, but knowing that your death is impending sooner gives you an even greater ability to deny any of our righteous acts as righteous. The foolishness of our works are pretty apparent to you when you try to really look at the accounting of a life. We'll get back to that. But your God for us in Christ is great shorthand."
"It's fun to talk to your kids. and your nephews and nieces about how Jesus did everything on the cross to fulfill the whole law. I fulfill none of it. He fulfilled all of it. And He took away all of my sins. And I'm not just justified, I'm actually being made intrinsically righteous, though you can't see it, like so little fruit and buds. but it will be accomplished."
Ben Sasse has stage-four pancreatic cancer and acknowledged facing death. He affirmed belief in a real Deliverer, a rescuing God born at a real time and place. He identified the Gospel as the anchor for engaging life and pursuing callings. He described the ordo salutis: imputation, justification, sanctification, and glorification, emphasizing completed and perfected salvation. He contrasted human righteousness with Christ's fulfillment of the law and the removal of sin. He described being justified and progressively made intrinsically righteous, affirmed that salvation is past, present, and future, and referenced Genesis 3 and Romans 5 about being in Adam.
