Hi, this is Justin. As a Christian, have you ever felt as though you are on parole or perhaps some kind of probation?

Where you've been released from prison, but now you need to do regular check-ins with an officer,

you need to keep the rules adequately and avoid doing the wrong things well enough to finally

be set free one day and to finally be rid of doubt and to finally be rid of fear that it might not

end well for you. Sadly, I think this is the experience for many in the church. And so today, John and I are

going to talk about this, about how Christians are not on parole, but in fact, Jesus has accomplished

everything that's

necessary for our salvation. That's what justification means. And to be justified is to be finally

saved. We're going to consider all of that from a reformed and biblical perspective today. We hope

that's encouraging for you. And then in the Semper Reformation from Monda podcast, we're going to touch

on things like final justification and the writings of John Owen

and what it is to be a fruitful Christian.

Stay tuned.
