Episode notes
Resentment Ends In The New Creation
- The fallen flesh causes persistent relational harms now but will be gone in the intermediate state and resurrection, so resentments will not persist in the new creation.
- Greg Koukl reasons through Romans and Paul to conclude moral purity and full reconciliation will characterize post-resurrection relationships, e.g., Uriah won't hold David against him if David is justified.
Ezekiel Watchman Is A Unique Prophetic Office
- Ezekiel's watchman role was a unique prophetic office for covenant Israel and doesn't map directly onto every believer's obligations today.
- Koukl notes New Testament roles and gifts define our responsibilities; apostles had specific commissions like Paul’s to the Gentiles.
Use Your Gifts To Witness Not Mimic Ezekiel
- Do use your God-given gifts to warn, exhort, and share the gospel, but within New Testament roles rather than claiming Ezekiel's prophetic authority.
- Koukl urges believers to steward gifts like exhortation and teaching and warns against misusing Ezekiel 33 to shame congregations.
