TC-43 The Best of Two Evils?

Trinity Chats Episode 43 The Best of Two Evils? Why do Christians so often drift toward either legalism or antinomianism? In this episode of Trinity Chats, Pastor Tim and Eddie discuss two opposite errors that distort the Christian life. Legalism seeks acceptance with God through obedience, while antinomianism treats obedience as unnecessary because of grace. Both misunderstand the proper relationship between law and gospel. The answer is not finding a balance between two errors, but recovering gospel obedience. The law cannot justify us, but it does guide the believer. We obey God not to earn His acceptance, but because we have already been accepted in Christ. Topics Discussed Why Christians drift toward legalism Why Christians drift toward antinomianism The danger of reacting from one error into another The proper relationship between law and gospel The law as a rule of life for Christians Gospel-driven obedience About Trinity Chats Trinity Chats is a conversational podcast hosted by Pastor Tim Beauchamp and Eddie Guevara, discussing theology, Christian living, church life, and current issues from a confessional Reformed perspective.
