Episode notes

We're then our lives trying to answer the wrong question. And then wonder why we can't get the right answer. If I think that God's law is all about deserving love, then when good things happen, I'll own them and take credit for them," he says. "If a friend comes, I'm commanded to love them. If an enemy comes, I've been told to love them"

How does the experience of being a sinner affect the experience of being saved by Jesus? Dr. Adam Miller discusses why faith is crucial to our experience of redemption.
