Summary

Jon and Justin have a free and frank conversation about the law, the gospel, and sanctification. Oftentimes, the law and the gospel are confused. The law is relativized. The gospel is made to sound hard. And sanctification sounds terrible. This isn't how it should be. The guys consider the work of Christ in fulfilling the law as a covenant of works, the freedom that Christ has secured for us, and how God's law and work of sanctification are great things for the believer. Semper Reformanda: Jon and Justin talk about good works. There are many good works emphasized in the church today that are nowhere to be found in the Scriptures. What are good works, biblically defined? What are some of the good works that are clear in Scripture that just aren't talked about in the church?

0:00.0	Hi, this is Justin. Today on Theocast, John and I have a very simple, a very frank,
0:09.1	and a very free conversation about the law and the gospel and sanctification. If we're honest,
0:14.9	the law and the gospel are often confused. The gospel ends up sounding really hard,
0:19.5	and sanctification ends up sounding really terrible.
0:22.3	If that's the case, something's missed.

0:27.1	We're going to talk about the work of Christ and what he's accomplished for us and what that means for our peace and our rest.
0:32.1	And how that turns not only the law into something that's obviously good for us,
0:36.2	but turns sanctification into a
0:38.0	joy. And then in SR we talk about good works. What are they defined biblically? And how are
0:44.2	good works talked about poorly in the church? We hope that's clarifying for you. Hope you enjoy the
