This chapter explores the ongoing struggle between sinfulness and sanctification in the lives of Christians, emphasizing the importance of working towards sanctification while resting in the assurance of Christ's justification. It also highlights the hope and confidence found in God's redemptive work.
Throughout history, Christianity has profoundly impacted societies for the better, with Christians founding hospitals and adoption agencies and advocating for the poor and oppressed. Today, we may benefit from these Christian influences, but do we carry on their legacy? Are we contributing to the growth of Christianity, or are we growing out of it? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland point us to God’s work all around us, encouraging us toward a faith-centered life in the “already” as we anticipate the joy of the “not yet.”
