Hard Sayings of Scripture: Claiming to be Without Sin? Nick and Dylan tackle the tension in 1 John between "if you're living in Jesus, you won't keep on sinning" and the reality that Christians still sin. They talk through the cross as an exchange, not a payment to satisfy an angry Father, how confession fits into a finished-work identity, and why they'd argue it's actually the law that gives sin a license, not grace. It's a look at how to hold "you're a new creation" and "you still sin sometimes" together without losing either one.
