Today's interview is based on an article from "Forget None of His Benefits." One paragraph says this: "When you face tribulation, distress, peril, or the uncertainty of life in a fallen world, what should you do? In his great epistle to the Romans Paul lays out the universality of sin (Rom.1:1-3:23). From there he takes up the remedy which is our justification by faith, illustrated in the life of Abraham (Rom.4) and expounded with great care in Romans 5. He then tells us that the Law came in that transgression might increase and where sin increased, grace abounded all the more (Rom.5:20). Paul anticipates two objections and handles them in Romans 6 and 7. Where sin increases Paul makes clear that if we are in Christ then sin still shall not be master over us (Rom.6:14), and while the Law

incites us to sin we must still say that the Law is holy and the commandment is holy and righteous and good (Rom.7:12). From there Paul teaches us that if we are in Christ we are never again under the condemnation of sin. He goes on to say that God predestined, called, justified, and glorified us, His elect, demonstrating His eternal and electing love." Today, we talk with the author of this article and include his contact information. His number is 860-748-5918 or email [email protected]. He says that he would love to hear from you and encourage you in your walk with Jesus. Participants: Pastor Al Baker, Dan Elmendorf
