Episode notes
Christianity vs Religion
- Christianity is fundamentally different from religion, not just different from the world.
- Both religion and Christianity involve obedience, but Christianity surpasses religious righteousness in depth and nature.
Two Similar Paths Differ Deeply
- Two ways Jesus describes look very similar, with both groups praying and obeying God's law.
- Yet one way leads to life with gospel goodness; the other leads to destruction despite religious actions.
Gospel Goodness is Brighter
- Gospel goodness is brighter because it is attractive to and attracted by people unlike us.
- Religious people isolate themselves and alienate those who disagree with them, unlike true Christians.
