Episode notes
Acceptance Before Obedience Is Gospel Order
- Salvation cannot be earned by obeying the law because all have sinned and fall short of God's glory.
- Joby Martin contrasts performance-based acceptance with the gospel order: accepted because Jesus took our place, therefore we obey.
Imputed Righteousness Explains Justification
- Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, so righteousness is imputed, not earned.
- Joby cites Galatians and 2 Corinthians 5:21 to explain our sins are credited to Christ and His righteousness credited to us.
Receive The Spirit By Faith Not Performance
- Receive the Spirit by faith in Christ rather than trying to earn grace through works.
- Joby warns that the Spirit is given as a gift and guarantee the moment you trust Jesus, not as a reward for performance.
