Episode notes
Sanctification Follows Salvation
- Sanctification follows calling and justification; holiness grows out of salvation, not before it.
- Faith is the root and holiness the flower that naturally springs from being justified in Christ.
Abraham's Unfaithful Choice
- Abraham's lapse with Hagar shows even great saints can fall into unbelieving schemes.
- Scripture records these faults honestly as warnings, not endorsements.
Live As If Before God
- Know God's almightiness and live as if you stand constantly in his presence.
- Aim at perfection as sincerity and let God's sufficiency shape choices and behavior.
