0:00.0 | In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month to 50,000 |
0:05.3 | downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more positive reviews, |
0:11.6 | the more the algorithm picks us up. And more people are confronted by the law and gospel of Jesus Christ. |
0:18.1 | Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a five-star |
0:24.0 | review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, |
0:32.9 | but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth. And people humor themselves |
0:41.9 | in thinking that we have as human beings free will. But we need to understand that our choices as |
0:50.4 | finite creatures are drastically limited. And they're limited precisely by our nature. |
0:57.2 | The reason why God has at his disposal more choices than you and I is because his nature |
1:04.4 | allows for a wider spectrum of choices. This is because his nature is not creature but |

1:31.9 | God is not a man that he should repent. Or some translations render it. God is not a man that he |
1:39.6 | should change his mind. God cannot change. God also cannot lie. There are certain things that God cannot |
1:49.2 | do because his nature is holy. That which he deems as holy in terms of his law directly stems from |
1:58.0 | his holy essence, his holy being, his holy nature. And so even God, |
2:03.8 | with his nature, although infinite, one of the things that it precludes is sin, because his nature is |
2:10.0 | infinite, but his nature is also infinitely holy. But you and I as human beings, as finite creatures, we have a drastically more limited |
2:20.7 | spectrum of choices because we have a drastically more limited nature. I've argued in the past, |
2:28.3 | and I would continue to argue and hold this view, that the Christian has more freedom of will than the non-Christian. |
2:37.1 | And this is because the Christian has, in a sense, not exactly, not precisely, but in a sense, |
