Today, Justin and I want to cover two passages that either hurt you or confuse you.

One of them is Jeremiah 29, 11, about your future.

And you might be wondering, yeah, I'm not quite sure how that verse applies to me because everything is going horribly.

Or everything might be going great.

And you might be attributing to that.

We're going to talk about that verse.

And then also Matthew 7, 1 about judge, not,

unless you be judged. Our goal is to actually help you learn how to read these properly,

but more importantly, how to see Christ and trust in him and his sufficiency. 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 that deals with

this topic from Romans chapter 6. You can find this book at Theocast, where we encourage weary pilgrims to rest in Jesus Christ.

He is enough for all of salvation, and we have joy and peace with God forever in him.

We have conversations here at Theocast about the Christian life, and we do that from a

confessional and reform perspective that we hope is also pastoral.

We're a couple of pastors.

Your hosts today, as always, are John Moffat, who is the pastor of Grace Reform Church

in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and I am Justin Purdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Ashe Hill, Tennessee. And I am Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church
