The Reformed tradition tells us we have three great enemies: the world, our flesh, and the devil.
And the way in which we often forget how he can get to us is the accusing us.
We have everything, our flesh has failed us so many times.
We have every reason to be accused, and we are told by Revelation that he accuses the brothers night and day.
At our conference this last year, this spring, at our Law Gospel conference for Theocast, Justin Perdue preached a powerful lecture on Jesus and the accuser, and how he often comes at our assurance and our hope and our righteousness,
getting us to stand in our own place, trying to trust in our own righteousness or just completely doubting ourselves altogether.
It's a powerful lecture.
After the lecture, we did a panel discussion with Chad Bird, Ken Jones, myself, and Justin.
And that's what you're about to hear: the panel discussion.
So, if you'd like to hear Justin's lecture, you can go to our website.
It'll be linked in this episode here.
If you go down, you can see the link to the lecture, or you can go to YouTube and find it there and then come back and listen to this discussion.
But we wanted to put this out.
Justin and I are doing some traveling right now, and we're not available to get into the studio, so we wanted to put these episodes out because they're powerful, they're a little bit shorter, but man, the discussions are great,
and the discussions are going to be based upon Justin's lecture.
So I encourage you to go listen to that and come back and hear this podcast.
Even though, if you don't, the feedback and the interaction we got with Chad and Ken were great as it relates to how Satan comes at us to try and knock us off our confidence, to question the gospel, to
question the sufficiency of Jesus.
So, hope you enjoy this, and we'll see you in just a few weeks.
Hey, guys, this is Justin.
