Episode notes

Mike Downey: We need something way more than an example. And that's what Romans five is telling us. He says Christ has come to do for us what Adam and Israel were incapable of doing. The Holy Spirit carries Jesus off into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan. That account is actually Christ's active obedience for your sake, he says.

Most Christians know about the forgiveness of sins, but not the doctrine of active obedience. But how do we become righteous if not through imputation? 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.
