Episode notes
Faith and Obedience in the Old Testament
- In the Old Testament, both faith and obedience are necessary for receiving God's blessings.
- This is never portrayed negatively as legalism, even though obedience is a condition for blessings.
Old Testament Examples of Faith and Obedience
- The Old Testament has examples of faith and obedience.
- Noah built the ark, Abraham left Ur, and Moses led the Israelites, all demonstrating both faith and required obedience.
Old vs. New Covenant
- The Deuteronomic model ('good actions bring good results, bad actions bring bad results') is considered the Old Covenant.
- Some Protestants believe obedience is no longer a condition for blessings under the New Covenant, but the podcast challenges that view.
