Unraveling the Old Testament: God's Narrative of Salvation


Listen Later

Ready to shift the way you view faith and salvation? This episode is a transformative journey through the relationship between grace and law, digging deep into how our faith in Christ redefines our identity, worth, and purpose. We move away from the narrative of accomplishments and focus on the life-giving, resurrected Son of God. We unravel the powerful message in Colossians 2:16 that states because our lives now belong to Christ; we should no longer be subjected to judgment.

Enter the world of the Old Testament with us, where we consider God's holiness and the high standard He sets for relationships with His people. We use the iconic story of David and Goliath as an allegory for the promise of a hero who bridges the gap between us and God. Instead of striving to be David ourselves, we look to Jesus as the greater David who can defeat the giant of sin that binds us. We also share an eye-opening story of a man's journey to Israel that forever changed his perspective on the Bible and God's narrative.

Finally, we delve into Paul's letter to the Galatians and the relevant message it holds for believers today. We discuss the liberating nature of Christ's teachings and the oppressive nature of legalism and unattainable expectations of perfection. The focus is not on a list of dos and don'ts, but on the freedom that comes from a relationship with Jesus. We end with a call to respond to the leading of the Spirit, to trust Jesus as Lord and Savior, and to experience freedom from the chains of shame, guilt, and condemnation. Join us for this enlightening discussion and start your journey toward freedom and salvation today.
