Is there a difference between gospel-focused living and law-driven living?

In other words, what motivates us to want to live for God, to obey him, to see holiness

as something to treasure versus something to be afraid of?

Well, today's episode is from a lecture that we had from our Theocast

conference in 2025 on the law, gospel distinction. And I did a lecture on the difference between

gospel versus law-based living and how we are motivated from one or the other. And after every one of our lectures, we had a panel

discussion. And so that's what you're going to hear today is the panel discussion with Chad Bird,

Ken Jones, Justin Perdue, and myself. And if you want to hear the lecture, you can go to YouTube

or our website and watch the lecture there. But this is going to be the panel discussion where we

then discuss what it is that I talked about.

But there's a lot of great information as it relates to the law versus the gospel and how it relates to our

motivation for living. So hopefully you enjoy this. We're going to do a couple of weeks where we're going to put out

these panels. There's really great information on here. And if you'd like to learn more about the conference and the audio that's available, the video is available, just go to our website or you can go to YouTube and you can see underneath our folder there. You'll see that we have all of our lectures in there. We have lectures from Chad Bird, Ken Jones, Justin Purdue and myself. So if you're new to Theocast, we're so thankful that you're here. You go to Theocast.org to learn more about myself. I'm John Moffitt. I'm the pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee. My co-host is Justin Perdue. He is the pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina. We're traveling this next week. That's why he's not on here. So we thought we put out

this great content. You're going to love hearing from Chad Bird and from Ken Jones as we discuss

the law and the gospel and our reasons for living. All right, stay tuned. Hey guys, this is Justin.

Maybe you know that you are forgiven because of Jesus Christ, but you're wondering, what does Jesus

have to do with my Christian life?

How is he involved in my sanctification even?

Or is he concerned at all with the ways that I struggle and the way that my life goes up

and down?

Is there any comfort for me in Jesus when it comes to all of that?

Well, I've written a book called More Than Forgiven, how being in Christ changes everything
