Have you ever had somebody walk up to you and say, the Lord told me to tell you?

00:00:05

What do you do with that phrase?

00:00:06

That is a powerful statement.

00:00:08

How do you process that?

00:00:09

And not only that, but what about all these modern prophecies and these miraculous things that seem to be happening, and how do we process visions and dreams?

00:00:18

Really, we're talking about the sign gifts.

00:00:21

Like, how do we, as Reformed people, conservative Christians, allow ourselves to look at the text and then have an explanation for what's going on.

00:00:29

That is the point of today's podcast.

00:00:31

We want to have a meaningful conversation, and it really is related to our assurance and the hope of Christ.

00:00:36

Stay tuned.

Hey guys, this is Justin.

00:00:40

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?

00:00:49

How is he involved in my sanctification, even?

00:00:53

Or is he concerned at all with the ways that I struggle and the way that my life goes up and down?

00:00:58

Is there any comfort for me in Jesus when it comes to all of that?

00:01:01

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.

00:01:10

You can find this book at cocast.org.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ.

00:01:29

We have conversations here at Theocast about the Christian life from a confessional and reformed and we trust pastoral perspective.

00:01:36

So, what we try to do here is take the clutter off of the gospel.
