Episode notes
Grace Removes Law-For-Salvation Pressure
- You don't need to keep the law to earn God's favor because Christ has already shown you his favor.
- Seeing God's favor as settled frees you to obey without trying to earn salvation.
Law Shows Purpose, Not Just Rules
- The law remains important because it shows us how to live the life we were created for rather than to earn salvation.
- God's commands are good for individuals and society and point us toward flourishing.
Mentor's Simple Question Shapes Obedience
- Beth recalls a mentor who asked students, 'Why do we do good things?' and answered, 'Because they are good.'
- That memory shapes her view that obedience flows from recognizing goodness, not from legalistic pressure.
