Episode notes
Preaching Holiness
- Preach the effective connection between Christ's sin-bearing work and the Christian's sin-killing work.
- Connect cancelled sin with conquered sin, Christ's suffering with Christian holiness, and freedom from guilt with righteous living.
Truncated Gospel
- A gospel-centered emphasis sometimes truncates the message to personal forgiveness.
- This neglects the transformative power of the gospel for holy living.
The Pardoned Man
- Piper uses the analogy of a condemned man being pardoned.
- While initially joyful, this joy alone cannot sustain a fulfilling life long-term.
