When I understood active obedience, it was like I found the other part of the gospel. Yeah, because it's like the chalkboard is erased and there's a do over. You get that second chance language a lot of times with folks, you know, rededication. Now this time I really surrender all. Thanks for giving me forgiveness so that I have another chance to pull it off. That's what we're saying, we're saying Jesus is the only one who could. He crossed the finish line. Just believe that. Just accept that. He is your righteousness.

In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland explain what is meant by the active obedience of Christ and why there’s no hope without it.
