Hi, this is Justin.
Today on Theocast is part two of Two with special guest Pat Abendroth.
We are discussing the covenant of works.
Last week, we talked about the legitimacy of the covenant.
Covenant of works and the fact that it is in the Bible, contrary to many objections that are often raised against it.
Today, we're going to be talking about the implications of the covenant of works, implications of denying the covenant of works and how that affects our understanding of the law and the gospel, and how that might end up eroding
the assurance of the believer.
Why does it matter that you would affirm a covenant of works?
That's what we seek to answer today.
We hope you enjoy the conversation.
Stay tuned.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a confessional, reformed, and we hope, pastoral perspective.
We are seeking to clarify the gospel and reclaim the purpose of the kingdom.
Today, your hosts are John Moffat, who is pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and I'm Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
And for a second straight episode, we have a special guest with us.
Not to be confused with his brother Mike Abendroth, it is none other than Pat Abendroth, who is the pastor of Omaha Bible Church in Omaha, Nebraska.
