It is safe to say the Apostle Paul was one of the most vigorous fighters for the gospel.

And he said a lot of things to try and defend it against legalism.

But there's an aspect of Paul's conversations that we don't pay attention to.

That legalism is not just used by humans.

He argues it's being used by the kingdom of darkness. That's right. There's a reason why

when he says that Jesus put the rulers of this age to open shame, because they were holding in

their hand the law trying to condemn us. Justin and I have a conversation about how, well,

the law can be used by demonic means to cause us to go back into the law.

It's very anti-gospital.

It's a great conversation.

We hope you enjoy it.

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

that deals with this topic from Romans chapter 6. You can find this book at Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ.

Yes, we're still doing that.

And we encourage weary pilgrims to rest in Christ by having conversations about the Christian life.

From a reform, confessional, and pastoral perspective. And really, we encourage

people to rest by taking the clutter off of the gospel. We don't want Jesus to be hidden from our view.
