Summary

In our second of two episodes on the implications of covenant theology, Jon and Justin consider the purpose and point of the whole Bible. It's not an instruction manual. It's not a step-by-step guide to godliness. It's not a medicine cabinet to cure everything that ails us. Rather, the Bible is about redemption. It's about Jesus. The guys unpack the implications of that and consider how to go to the Bible, how to use it, and how to understand it. Semper Reformanda: Jon and Justin talk about the relationship between covenant theology and redemptive-historical theology (hint: they're the same). After that, we take a deeper dive into covenant theology. In particular, we discuss the tri-covenantal framework of redemption, works, and grace.

1:21.7	Asheville, North Carolina. John is saying hello, for those of you watching on the YouTube's
1:27.0	where you can actually see
1:28.3	his face and the handy-dandy whiteboard that he's holding up. John, I'm feeling a little geeked up
1:33.1	on the gospel today, man. I'm feeling a little punchy. It's about to happen. I know. I'm excited
1:38.1	about Christ. I mean, always am, but like feel it really, really like viscerally this morning,
1:43.0	which is always a wonderful place to be.
