Episode notes
Wholeness Follows Declared Righteousness
- Wholeness is a consequence of hearing God's declaration of your righteousness rather than the result of improved behavior.
- Believing your identity as righteous produces right behavior, not vice versa.
Two Covenants: Promise Versus Self-Effort
- Paul uses the Sarah/Hagar allegory to contrast two covenants: law (bondage) and promise (freedom).
- Isaac (promise) is birthed by the Spirit while Ishmael (self-effort) arises from human strategy.
Cast Out Legalism And Self-Effort
- Expel the slave woman and her son: aggressively remove legalism and self-effort from your camp.
- Refuse to let inferior covenant voices continue to harass your identity as a child of promise.
