Episode notes
Reasons for Unashamed Faith
- Paul's reasons for being unashamed of the gospel are its power for salvation and its revelation of God's righteousness.
- These concepts are central to the book of Romans.
Three Dimensions of Salvation
- Salvation has past, present, and future aspects: being saved from sin's penalty, power, and presence.
- This contrasts with a limited view of salvation as a one-time event.
Active Trust, Not Just Assent
- Biblical faith involves not only intellectual assent but also active trust and reliance.
- It's about entrusting your life to the truth of the gospel, not just agreeing with it.
