Episode notes
Salvation Enables Obedience
- Jesus' blood both frees us from sin's punishment and enables us for obedience and righteousness.
- God mercifully delivers us first, then calls us to obedient living as a response to grace.
Obey From Gratitude, Not To Earn Favor
- Stop believing you must obey to earn God's favor and rest in his mercy shown in Christ's sacrifice.
- Obey from gratitude, not to secure love or salvation, because grace precedes and enables obedience.
