Episode notes
Adding Requirements Cancels Christ's Work
- Adding any requirement to Christ implies his work is incomplete and nullifies his advantage.
- Joby Martin uses Galatians 5's critique of Judaizers demanding circumcision as the primary example.
Law Based Justification Severs You From Christ
- Believing Jesus plus law means you're 'severed from Christ' because law-based justification demands complete obedience.
- Joby highlights Paul's pun on 'cut off' to show the seriousness of falling from grace.

- Faith (pistuo) means entrusting your whole self to Christ's finished work, not mere intellectual assent.
- Joby emphasizes that faith is 'put your whole trust into' Christ's cross and resurrection.
