Episode notes

In all of Paul's epistles in the body, we get the distinction between the doctrine section and the application or the hoardatory section. In Romans 12, 15, Paul says rejoice with them that do rejoice and weep with them that weep. And I know Hank and John, you've been around long enough to know that sounds an awful lot like the baptismal covenants in Mosiah 18, 8, 9. We usually say, born with those that mourn, stand in comfort of those that need to stand in comfort. But how cool is it that here's Paul saying rejoice with themthat do rejoice?

Dr. Matson continues to explore themes of redemption, sin, the law, and the power of the Holy Ghost in the second half of the Letter to the Romans.
