The Gospel of Sincere Obedience

Oh no, John and Justin talking about obedience again.

Yeah, we are, and it's an important subject because, to be frank, Justin and I really do want every person who hears this podcast to obey sincerely.

The question is, how is that accomplished?

And that's what this episode is about.

There is no good news for those who only emphasize obedience.

We have to look to a power beyond ourselves.

And we're going to talk about what that is.

Stay tuned.

If you're new to Theocast, you may not have heard of this word.

It's called pietism.

Have you ever felt like the Christian life is a heavy burden versus rest and joy?

That you wake up worrying about how well you're going to perform instead of thinking about what Christ has done for you.

It's dread versus joy, really.

That's pietism.

Pietism causes Christians to look in on themselves and find their hope not in what Christ has done, but what they're doing.

And we have a little book for you.

It's free.

We want you to download it, and we're going to explain the difference between pietism and what we call confessionalism, reformed theology, really, how it is it that we walk by faith, seeing the joy of Christ.

And when Jesus says, Come to me and I will give you rest, what does that look like?
