Episode notes
Fear Redirects, Not Paralyzes
- Fear of God orders and removes all other fears by making God the ultimate object of our fearing, loving, and trusting.
- Because God gave His Son for us, Christians need not fear God’s displeasure as condemnation but reverent love and trust.
Use Gospel Means To Be Cleansed
- Rely on Spirit-applied means: preaching, baptism, absolution, and the Lord's Supper to have your robes washed in the Lamb's blood.
- Do not imagine you cleanse yourself; receive these gifts as the Spirit applies Christ's atoning death to your conscience.
Heaven Removes The Possibility Of Rebellion
- The new heaven and new earth remove death and thus remove the possibility of sin, so a second fall is impossible.
- True freedom biblically is liberation from the ability to sin, not freedom to choose evil.
