Episode notes
The True Gospel
- The true Gospel is that God is in charge and we can trust Him.
- Modern interpretations often reduce this to believing specific doctrines, turning faith into a work.
Paradox of Belief
- Believing the right things can become a form of self-righteousness.
- This contradicts the essence of faith as trust in Christ.
Interactive Relationship with God
- A personal relationship with God involves ongoing fellowship and interaction, not just intellectual assent.
- Eternal life, according to Willard, is this interactive relationship.
