Law, Gospel, and Jesus (w/ The Pactum)

It has been said that Jesus is the greatest teacher of the law.

Many would come to him and say, How can we enter into your kingdom?

We assume Jesus would give them gospel, but if you read these passages, it sounds like law because he tells them to obey the law and live.

Today's episode is a discussion about the law-gospel distinction with our good friend Pat Abendroth from the Pactum.

You're going to want to stay tuned for this because we tackle a lot of the hard passages in both the Old and New Testament.

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 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?

You can download it at our website.

Just go to theocast.org.
