Episode notes
Pardon and Power in Christ
- In Christ, we receive both pardon for our sins and the power to overcome them.
- These two gifts are inseparable and essential to the Christian life.
Sanctification as Evidence
- Our sanctification (becoming more like Christ) is evidence of our justification (being declared righteous).
- It is not the basis for our acceptance with God, but a result of it.
Fighting From a Place of Victory
- We fight sin not to earn God's favor, but because we already have it.
- This understanding transforms our struggle against sin from one of fear to one of confident victory.
