Episode notes
Spirit-Indwelt Life Means Real Renewal
- Being "in Christ" means the Spirit of God indwells believers and produces life despite our mortal bodies.
- This inward life yields renewal, sympathy with our sorrows, and practical power to live differently.
The Allure Of Religious Syncretism
- Alistair Begg cites Ramon Panikkar's obituary quote about blending religions to show cultural confusion.
- The quote illustrated the danger of religious syncretism that blurs Christianity's distinctives.
Trust God And Get Going
- Put to death the deeds of the body by cooperating with the Spirit rather than passively expecting removal of sin.
- Trust God and actively pursue strategies enabled by the Spirit to eradicate habitual sin.
