Episode notes
Everyone Lives For A Master
- Everyone is spiritually enslaved to an ultimate thing that provides their main security and significance.
- There is no neutral position; you either serve God or a substitute master that controls you through inordinate desires.
Use Emotions To Identify Idols
- Test where your spiritual masters are by noticing epi-anger, paralysing fear, or destructive sadness when threatened.
- Use these emotional tests to identify which good things you have made ultimate and enslaving.
Union With Christ Changes Your Status
- Christians are legally united with Christ so his past (death) becomes their past and his status becomes theirs by grace.
- The Father's delight in the Son means believers receive acceptance and freedom from condemnation now.
