In this episode, Brett, Brian, and Jason begin their examination of the Third Article of the Apostles’ Creed from Luther’s Small and Large Catechisms. The main teaching of the Third Article directs our attention to the fact that the Gospel isn’t just for conversion. It sustains and directs the entirety of the believer’s life and is integral for our sanctification as we continually receive forgiveness of sins even as Christians.
I was listening to your discussion from episode 63 on why we want to claim some responsibility for our salvation. I submit the main reason this keeps creeping in is because of man’s selfish pride. We want to claim responsibility and benfit for our good works. It infected and continues to infect the Catholic Church and is apparent in modern protestant churches as well. The American mindset of rugged individualism adds additional influence. I enjoy listening to your podcasts. Keep up the “good work.”
Excellent thoughts, and well said!
