Episode notes
Deal With Sin Early And Radically
- Deal with sinful thoughts immediately and decisively before they become actions or habits.
- Address temptation in the mind and at first action to prevent habit and destiny shaped by sin.
A Lord's Delayed Diagnosis
- Begg recounts a British lord delaying treatment for an elevated PSA and dying when cancer spread to his spine.
- The story illustrates the cost of ignoring serious issues instead of dealing with them decisively.
Spirit-Led Life Means Practical Obedience
- Being led by the Spirit means putting to death bodily misdeeds and living, not mystical subjective directions.
- Obedience to Spirit's leading produces true life contrasted with living according to the sinful nature.
Scripture assures us that God’s Spirit indwells believers. With His provision, we’re to “become what we are”—children of God. On Truth For Life, Alistair Begg examines this teaching and explains how Christianity is radically different from formalized religion.
