Episode notes
Don't Earn Your Way To Heaven
- Repent and believe in Jesus rather than trying to earn heaven through achievements or policy wins.
- Seek a genuine faith change, not a political or transactional shortcut to salvation.
Jesus As New Creation's Center
- Jesus is presented as the fulfillment of Israel's story and the inaugurator of God's new creation through resurrection.
- His death and resurrection bear judgment and sin so those joined to him receive righteousness and reconciliation with God.
Union With Christ Removes Condemnation
- Humanity's rebellion leaves everyone under judgment except Jesus, so union with Christ is the only way into God's presence.
- Being 'in Christ' means having already passed through judgment and receiving no condemnation now.
