The Insufficiency of Christ

April 28, 2021

Summary

"Jesus-plus" theology has always been popular. People add things to the gospel and to Jesus in order to legitimize their Christian lives. Is Jesus really enough for us? Not just for our salvation, but for our Christian lives? Aren't there other things we need to be concerned for? Jon and Justin consider this and more.

Hi, this is John, and I'm here with Justin in Knoxville, Tennessee.

00:00:06

Actually, together.

00:00:07

Absolutely together.

00:00:09

And today is an important subject on the insufficiency of Jesus.

00:00:14

And we have a pretty lively conversation about, I would say, why people have to grasp on to something other than Christ when it talks about their legitimacy and their relationship to God.

00:00:27

And then we've started a brand new membership.

00:00:29

We have a brand new ministry called Simple Reformanda.

00:00:31

We'll talk about that a little bit later in the podcast.

00:00:34

Stay tuned.
