Hi, this is John. Today on Theocast, Justin and I want to talk to two groups of people this week.

First of all, we want to talk to those who are weary and kind of beat down and are struggling to find the assurance that is in Christ, to find rest, to know that they are safe and secure in their union with Christ.

And how do we move from that moment? And then there's a second group of people who have found that rest or intrigued by it,

but yet they still struggle.

Wait a minute, if I'm rescuing Christ, why am I not pursuing holiness?

And what about sanctification?

And it seems like rescuing Christ may be off as if, well, I think there's more to it than just that.

So this podcast today is going to be talking about the power of the gospel, not only to save us,

but to also motivate us that we might love one another rightly and how the gospel is sufficient

and we don't need anything else but Christ and Him crucified to be our ultimate and final motivation for rest and obedience.

We hope you enjoy.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a reform, pastoral, and confessional perspective.

Which is going to keep adding things in there as we think about it.

We've only added one.

I know.

Your host today, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, Justin Perdue. And I am John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
