About this sermon
How does someone go from being full of condemnation… to writing, “There is now no condemnation”? In this episode, John explores the transformation of Paul — a man driven by zeal, judgment, and certainty — who encounters the risen Jesus and sees everything differently. Drawing on insights from What Saint Paul Really Said, John unpacks what Paul actually meant by “justification by faith” — and why it’s not about earning salvation or simply believing a doctrine. You’ll learn: - what Paul’s zeal was really about - why “justification” means being vindicated, not just forgiven - the difference between trusting Jesus and believing about Him - how Jesus redefines who belongs - why seeing Jesus in others changes everythin As you move through your day, you’re invited into a simple but powerful practice: “It could be the Lord.” Because when you begin to see people that way, condemnation starts to fall away And there is now no condemnation. 📚 Today's Resources: - What Saint Paul Really Said — N. T. Wrigh - Influence from Scott McKnight - Historical scholarship from E. P. Sanders - Richard Hooker — on justification and faith - Richard Rohr — referenced practice (“It could be the Lord”) 🙌 New episodes every weekday. 📲 Subscribe, like, and share to help others grow spiritually.
