Episode notes
Sin Nature And The Second Adam
- Mark Jobe explains everyone has a sin nature inherited from Adam, except Jesus who was born sinless as the second Adam.
- This frames confession as acknowledging inherent brokenness, not merely bad choices.
Confess Specifically And Honestly
- Confess specifically: own particular sins and their roots instead of generalizing or blaming others.
- Use precise confession to pursue inward renewal and restored fellowship with God.
Cleansing Restores Fellowship Not Salvation
- Jesus has cleansed believers past, present, and future, so salvation isn't undone by later sins.
- Confession restores fellowship and joy, not eternal standing, which is secured in Christ.
