Hi, this is Justin. Every generation has to come to grips with the gospel. The good news

tells us that the righteousness of Jesus Christ, his perfect fulfillment of the law, is counted to sinners,

and it is given to us by faith alone. And that tends to not only terrify people, it's something that

comes under assault throughout the history of the church that's clear to not only terrify people, it's something that comes under assault

throughout the history of the church that's clear to see. In our day, there's a couple of ways,

even amongst the reformed crowd, where this is a thing. One of those movements is federal vision

doctrine. Another is the doctrine of final justification. So John and I are going to engage

with both of those today on the show.

We're going to talk about federal vision. We're going to talk about Doug Wilson. We're going to talk about

final justification and John Piper and some who advocate that understanding. We're going to point out

some concerns we have with it and we're going to aim to defend Sola Fide. The fact that we are

righteous on account of Christ alone. We'll receive it by

faith alone, we're at peace with God now and forever. Then in S.R., we're going to go all in on this.

We're going to talk in more depth about federal vision theology and the need for creeds and

confessions. We hope you enjoy the conversation. Stay tuned. A simple and easy way for you to help support Theocast each month is by shopping at Amazon through the Amazon Smile program.
