Begg's presentation, though succinct, fall short in the area of implication/significance of our pardon. The righteous life that Christ lived was, as well as the ignominious death he died, was equally in our stead. Agree with comment #4.

While penal and substitutionary atonement are a huge and immensely important part of the Gospel, if they are the only aspects preached, it seems to me that the whole Gospel is not preached. Nothing is said here of Christ's Lordship, new-birth, freedom from sin's slavery, defeat sin and Satan's power by Christ or God's restoration of all things through the New Creation. The Gospel is certainly not less, but is more than substitutionary and penal atonement.
