Episode notes
Old vs. New Covenant
- The Deuteronomic model ('good actions bring good results, bad actions bring bad results') is considered the Old Covenant.
- Some Protestants believe obedience is no longer a condition for blessings under the New Covenant, but the podcast challenges that view.
New Testament Requirements for Eternal Life
- The New Testament teaches that inheriting eternal life requires faith, following Jesus, and persevering in obedience.
- This counters the Protestant idea that obedience is unnecessary under the New Covenant.
Faith, Obedience, and Grace
- Both faith and obedience are gifts enabled by grace, according to the Catholic perspective.
- This perspective views both as essential for salvation, not just faith alone.
