Summary
What is the most Christian thing we could do? If you're like many out there, you might say, "Well, I would not sin." Fair answer. That certainly is a fruit of being united to the Lord Jesus Christ. But Jon and Justin offer a different perspective today. Perhaps the most Christian thing we could ever do is confess and acknowledge our weakness and then cast ourselves into the arms of Jesus Christ. We believe this leads to all kinds of good things, including freedom, joy, and peace. It is also a path to sanctification and transformation of life. If you're wondering how that could be the case, stay tuned for today's episode.

What is the most Christian thing that we could do?
I wonder how you'd answer that question.
If you're like many out there, you might say, well, I would not sin.
Fair answer.
Certainly is a fruit of being united to the Lord Jesus Christ.
But Jon and I are going to offer a different answer, a different thought today.
That perhaps the most Christian thing we could ever do is to confess and acknowledge our weakness and to then cast ourselves into the arms of Jesus Christ, which we think leads to all kinds of good things, including freedom
and joy and peace, and actually is a path to sanctification and transformation of life.
And if you're wondering how that could be the case, stay tuned and listen to today's episode.
Hey guys, this is Justin.
Maybe you know that you are forgiven because of Jesus Christ.
But you're wondering, what does Jesus have to do with my Christian life?
How is he involved in my sanctification, even?
Or is he concerned at all with the ways that I struggle and the way that my life goes up and down.
Is there any comfort for me in Jesus when it comes to all of that?
Well, I've written a book called More Than Forgiven: How Being in Christ Changes Everything that deals with this topic from Romans chapter six.
You can find this book at theocast.org.
Welcome to another episode of Theocast, where our aim is to help you rest in Christ.
And we're going to have conversations about the Christian life, pretty much all of the Christian life, but it's going to come to you from a gospel-centered reform perspective.
So, we just want to pull off the clutter off the gospel and show you that Jesus is sufficient, all of Christ for all of life.
