#129 – Freedom In Christ

2 december 2021 · 41 min
Afspelen

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss Union with Christ, Trinitarianism, and Romans 8:1-18 Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

What is the “therefore” there for?

“In Christ Jesus”

How am I declared righteous?

How do we reconcile the way that Spirit of Christ and Spirit in Christ are used? (V. 9)

How do we understand the Spirit of Christ also being the Spirit of the Father?

How is what Paul is saying here different from gnosticism? (V. 5-8, 12-18)

Is the doctrine of Union with Christ that we are in Christ or that He is in us? (V. 9-10)

Discuss the doctrine of adoption.

Helpful Definitions:

Existentially: In our lived experience of the world.

Union with Christ: God invites us to live in His home, and His home is Jesus. That is how we make our home with God, we enter into home with God in Jesus. The Spirit of God is the invitation to come into the home, the home is the Son of God Jesus Christ, and it is full of all the good things the Father has for His family and His children.

Divine Adoption: Playing out relationally of the concept of Union with Christ. You have a child relationship to the Father by virtue of the ontological relationship the Son has with the Father. What He possesses by right He gives to us by grace. What He has by nature He gives to us by adoption. That is the saving benefit of Union with Christ, everything that the Son has by nature and by right, He gives over to us in grace.

Spirit of Christ: The Holy Spirit

Resources Mentioned in This Episode:

Romans 8:1-18, Ephesians 1:4, Jeremiah 31:33, Ephesian 2:6, Galatians 3:3

25 november 2021 · 37 min
Afspelen

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by Dr. Tom Schreiner to continue their discussion on the book of Romans by looking at chapter 7. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

As we enter Romans 7, where is Paul in his line of argumentation?

Is there a reason why Paul uses this illustration (V. 1-4)?

What is the dynamic of law and Spirit in V. 4-6?

What does Paul mean by “law”? What law have we been released from?

What does he mean in V. 7?

Hold on: Is the law good or bad?

Can the law serve as a tutor into the ways of God but under sin it is merely a tyrant?

When we get to V. 14 and following, let’s ask the big question: Who is narrating this? Is this pre or post salvation Paul?

Helpful Definitions:

Prophetic function of the law: The law points us to Christ.

Convicting function of the law: The law convicts or exposes our sin.

Guest Bio:

Dr. Tom Schreiner is the James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation and Professor of Biblical Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and the author of many books including but not limited to: The Law and Its Fulfillment: A Pauline Theology of Law, Interpreting the Pauline Epistles, Paul: Apostle of God’s Glory in Christ: A Pauline Theology, and the Baker Exegetical Commentary on Romans.

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss Romans 6:15-23 and being a slave to righteousness. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

Paul seems to suggest that everyone is a slave, it’s just a question of what? How does this call us back to Paul's self identification at the beginning of the letter?

“Obedient from the heart?”

What does Paul mean in V.19?

V. 20 seems wrong, doesn’t it? What does Paul mean here?

16 november 2021 · 11 min
Afspelen

Kyle Worley is joined by Dr. Jim Hamilton to discuss Romans 15:3, where we hear Paul make mention of Christ in a way that calls our attention back to Psalm 69. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

In Romans 15:3 we hear Paul make mention of Christ in a way that calls our attention back to Psalm 69. Could you shed some light on what’s happening here?

How should we understand this to work mechanically? Is Paul going back into Psalm 69 and is he uncovering something there that could not be ascertained apart from the work of illumination and inspiration? Or is what he is doing congruent with the work of illumination?

Guest Bio:

Dr. Jim Hamilton is Professor of Biblical Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and the author of several books, including but not limited to: What is Biblical Theology?, The Bible’s Big Story: Salvation History for Kids, and the recently released two volume commentary on the Psalms from Lexham Press and the forthcoming Typology: Understanding the Bible’s Promise Shaped Patterns.

#126 – The New Life with Courtney Doctor

11 november 2021 · 35 min
Afspelen

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by author, Bible teacher, conference, and retreat speaker Courtney Doctor. Together they discuss Romans 6:1-14 and union with Christ. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

Paul’s use of rhetorical questions to advance his argument: “What shall we say then?” Why would Paul ask and answer this question at this point?

Should we understand this to mean that if you are a Christian you can’t sin and if you sin you couldn’t possibly be a Christian?

What does it mean to be “baptized into Christ Jesus?”

What is the doctrine of union with Christ?

How is this tied to the actual historical events of Christ?

How do we consider ourselves “dead to sin?”

Helpful Definitions:

Union with Christ: When we are in Christ, all that he has done, all that he has accomplished; those become ours too. It is our salvation; he saves us by uniting us to himself in a way that what has happened to him; his death, his burial, his resurrection, his victory over sin, it is in Christ that those are ours.

Historio Saludis: History of salvation accomplished.

Ordo Saludis: Salvation accomplished and applied.

Guest Bio:

Courtney Doctor is an author, Bible teacher, frequent conference and retreat speaker, and periodic blogger. She received an MDiv from Covenant Theological Seminary in 2013 and is the author of From Garden to Glory: A Bible Study on the Bible’s Story; Steadfast: A Devotional Bible Study on the Book of James); and In View of God's Mercies: The Gift of the Gospel in Romans (coming soon).

After The Fact: Why The Blood with Dr. Brian Vickers

9 november 2021 · 7 min
Afspelen

Kyle Worley is joined by Dr. Brian Vickers to discuss Romans 5:9 and answer the question: Why the blood? Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

Romans 5:9 says, “Since therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.” Here is the question: Why the blood?

Propitiation 101.

Why was blood necessary for the forgiveness of sins?

Helpful Definitions:

Propitiation: Christ’s atoning sacrifice as our substitute, Christ is both the sacrifice and the place of sacrifice. It is through that particular sacrifice that God’s just wrath against sin is addressed and is averted by Christ’s death for us.

Guest Bio:

Dr. Vickers is Professor of New Testament Interpretation at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and the author of Jesus’ Blood and Righteousness: Paul’s Theology of Imputation, Justification by Faith: Finding Freedom from Legalism, Lawlessness, Pride, and Despair, and most recently the ESV Expository Commentary on Acts.

#125 – In Adam or In Christ?

4 november 2021 · 42 min
Afspelen

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley look at Romans 5:12-21 and discuss the Adam-Christ Typology. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

Is Paul saying that the world is broken because one person sinned?

Is Paul saying Adam sinned, I sinned, or we all sinned?

Isn’t that unfair: That Adam’s sin is counted as our sin?

What does it mean that sin is not counted where there is no law?

Who is Adam a type of?

How is the free gift different from the trespass?

There is lots of “reigning” language in this passage isn’t there?

“So one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.” (V. 18) Does this mean that all of humanity is gifted justification?

How would you paraphrase this phrase: “Now the law came in to increase the trespass”?

Helpful Definitions:

Federal Headship: There are two humanities, those in Adam and those in Christ. You are either represented by Adam and his sinfulness or by Christ and his righteousness.

Christology: Doctrine of Christ

Typology: A shadow/picture of what is to come.

Adam-Christ Typology: In Adam we see a shadow of the ultimate picture of fulfillment we see in Christ.

Resources Mentioned in This Episode:

Questions Covered in This Episode:

What is mystical union and how is it at play in Romans 6:1-11?

In what way am I united to Jesus in death and resurrection?

Is our union with Christ affected at baptism?

Helpful Definitions:

Mystical Union with Christ: What it means for Christ to baptize us with the Holy Spirit into His body, whereby we become one with Christ.

Puritans like to describe it as an indissoluble union whereby we are one with Christ in God's estimation.

#124 – Justified by Faith

28 oktober 2021 · 33 min
Afspelen

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley look at Romans 5:1-11 and discuss justification by faith. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

What is justification?

What does it mean to be justified “by faith?”

Why is peace with God a benefit to justification?

What does it mean to “rejoice in hope of the glory of God?”

Rejoicing in our sufferings (V. 3-5)?

Has there been a season of life that you walked through suffering and what did it produce in you?

Is there a more beautiful verse than Romans 5:6?

What is Paul trying to do in V. 7-11?

What is the kind of person Christ died for?

Discuss the phrase “shall we be saved.” Am I saved or will I be saved?

Helpful Definitions:

Justification: To have God’s righteousness accounted to us. Because of what Jesus has done on the cross our sin was accounted to him and His righteousness is accounted to us.

Imputation: Jesus’s righteousness has been imputed (or given, or granted) to us through our faith in His Lordship.

Faith: Being able to say and confess Jesus Christ is Lord. Includes giving your whole self away to Jesus as King. The instrument of our salvation. Faith receives everything from the work of Christ and contributes nothing to it. A gift that God gives so that we can receive more of God’s gifts, namely, the grace of salvation. Faith does not actualize something, it is a belief in something that has already been actualized.

Our agreement, our affections, and our allegiance.

When we are justified by the blood of Christ, we are saved from sin’s penalty. As we are being sanctified, we are being saved from sin’s power. When we are glorified, we are finally and fully saved from sin's presence.

Kyle Worley is joined by Dr. Stephen Presley to answer the question what did Irenaeus have to say about Paul’s Christology? Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

Why should I care about what Irenaeus has to say about Paul?

What did Irenaeus have to say about Paul’s Christology?

Helpful Definitions:

Adam Christ Typology: Understood through the lens of Doctrine of Recapitulation.

Doctrine of Recapitulation: All things are summed up in Christ. There is a unity to the entire divine economy that is found in the person and work of Christ. Christ is seen as the new Adam who succeeds where Adam failed. Not only is it just about one particular moment of salvation history but Christ sums up in himself all things, renews and restores creation, and restores humanity in the image and likeness of God.

Guest Bio:

Dr. Presley is Associate Professor of Church History and the Director of Research Doctoral Studies at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and has written widely on the subject of early Christianity with a particular emphasis on Irenaeus.

#123 – The Symbols of Salvation

21 oktober 2021 · 38 min
Afspelen

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue in the book of Romans and discuss Romans 4:9-25. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

What role did circumcision play among Jews and Gentiles?

Why would it matter when Abraham’s faith was counted to him as righteousness?

What were the signs and symbols of salvation in the OT?

Not merely circumcised, but walk in the “footsteps of the faith…?”

Abraham was counted righteous before circumcision, why is that significant?

“Where there is no law there is no transgression,” what does that mean (V. 14)?

Is Romans 4:20 a lie?

“Raised for our justification” is an interesting phrase (V. 25)?

Helpful Definitions:

Hilastérion (ἱλαστήριον): Greek word for propitiation.

Session: What Jesus is currently doing.

After The Fact: Is the Gospel of Christ Different From Paul's Gospel with Dr. Jonathan Pennington

19 oktober 2021 · 9 min
Afspelen

Kyle Worley is joined by Dr. Jonathan Pennington to answer the question is Paul’s gospel different from Christ’s gospel? Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

Is Paul’s gospel different from Christ’s gospel?

I wonder if the gap that we feel between the content of Paul’s gospel and the content of Christ’s gospel is exacerbated by the differences of genre?

Helpful Definitions:

The gospel message: Is the message that God is coming into the world to restore his reign upon the earth and to bing flourishing and shalom to the whole earth, and that only comes through Jesus Christ who is king.

Guest Bio:

Dr. Pennington is Professor of New Testament at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and the pastor of spiritual formation at Sojourn East Church in Louisville.

#122 – Father Abraham

14 oktober 2021 · 30 min
Afspelen

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue their discussion in the book of Romans by looking at Romans 4:1-8. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

So the church hears that everyone is broken and everyone has fallen short and Paul predicts the question from the Jewish Christians: What about Abraham?

What role did Abraham play in Israel’s story? Why invoke his name here?

Paul pulls Abraham into the justification question: Why?

What did Abraham believe? (V.3)

Let’s talk about the fundamental difference between faith and works. Talk about “gift” language...

Then we get a David name drop (V.6): What was David’s significance in Israel’s story? Why is invoking his name a big deal?

Helpful Definitions:

Unmerited Gift: You cannot earn it, undeserved, or incongruent: doesn’t line up with what you have done, its disproportionate. Once we have received this grace that we do not deserve and we cannot earn it’s supposed to have an impact on us. Its unconditional but not without hope for impact or reciprocity.

Unconditional Gift: A gift given without any conditions.

Righteous -> Blessed: To have one’s lawless deeds forgiven, sins covered, and that the Lord will not count your sin against you.

Resources Mentioned in This Episode:

Romans 4:1-8, Genesis 15:6, Romans 5:1, Romans 6:1-2, Galatians 3:3-9, Matthew 20:1-16, Psalm 32:1-2, Psalm 130:3

After The Fact: Luther and the Righteousness of God with Dr. Gregg Allison

12 oktober 2021 · 7 min
Afspelen

Kyle Worley is joined by Dr. Gregg Allison to answer the question, did Martin Luther have anything to say about the righteousness of God in Romans? Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

Did Martin Luther have anything to say about the righteousness of God in Romans?

Outside of the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit, was there anything that was happening at a linguistic or a theological level in Luther’s understanding of the concept that was the key to that discovery? How did that change happen?

Helpful Definitions:

Justice of God: God’s wrath and condemnation towards sinners.

Righteousness of God: A gift that God gives to sinners who repent, confess Christ, turn to Christ through the gospel. A gift of perfect standing before God. God’s gift of the righteousness of Christ by which we can stand before him.

Justification: Divine declaration. We are no longer condemned or guilty, we are forgiven of our sins and the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ is attributed to us. So God when he sees us, sees us clothed in the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ.

The Sweet Exchange: Our sin is imputed to Christ, Christ’s righteousness is imputed to us.

Guest Bio:

Dr. Gregg Allison is a professor of Christian Theology at Southern Seminary. Prior to joining the faculty of Southern, Dr. Allison was a professor at Western Seminary, and prior to that He served with campus crusade for Christ for 18 years, was a missionary in Italy and Switzerland.

7 oktober 2021 · 42 min
Afspelen

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by Dr. Michael Kruger to look at Romans 3:21-31 and discuss the righteousness of God. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

Dr. Kruger: How significant is the idea of the “righteousness of God” and can you give us a sense of its importance in current NT scholarship?

If you were teaching and preaching this, is it possible to say yes to both meanings of the righteousness of God?

What is the difference between what the reformers would have said about Paul and the new perspective?

Who would be the names that our listeners might know that hold the new perspective on Paul?

What does Paul mean that “the ROG has been manifested apart from the law?”

What does it mean to fall short of the glory of God?

What is this word “propitiation?”

Divine forbearance - passing over former sins?

What is the “law of faith?”

V. 31, what law is Paul talking about here?

Dr. Kruger: What commentaries on Romans have you found helpful?

Helpful Definitions:

Greek Genitive: Denotes possession or ownership.

Righteousness of God: δικαιοσύνη Θεοῦ (dikaiosynē Theou)

A. Is God righteous? God’s righteousness on display, His character being upheld, Is He faithful to His covenant?

B. Is this something that God is giving? Is there a righteous status you can receive from Him?

Propitiation: Implying it to Jesus. To satisfy (soak up) all the wrath of God. In terms of what Christ has done, He has fully paid a price in such a way that all of God’s wrath has been fully absorbed by what Christ has done so that there is none left for you.

Law of works: Mosaic law keeping as a means to be justified.

Law of faith: You achieve a righteous status not by works but by trusting in Christ.

#120 – A Massive Problem

30 september 2021 · 39 min
Afspelen

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue their discussion in the book of Romans by looking at Romans 3:1-20. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

Why does Paul open up with this question?

What advantage did the Jews have?

Does God keep his promises?

If you were to summarize verses 1-8 in a few sentences how would you say it?

But hold on, Jews aren’t better than the Greeks just because of this advantage (V. 9)?

The bad bad news (Rom. 3:10-18)...where does this come from?

Is this true of us? Or just the Jews and Gentiles Paul is addressing? Is it true of Christians before salvation or after salvation or both?

Let’s talk about total depravity and the doctrine of sin.

Who is the audience of the letter?

How do you see value as those who are in Christ on reflecting on our fallen state apart from Christ? How does that keep us in the fear of the Lord?

Helpful Definitions:

Total depravity: Unable and unwilling to choose righteousness.

Posse peccare, posse non peccare: Able to sin, able not to sin.

Non posse non peccare: Not able not to sin.

Posse non peccare: Able not to sin.

Non posse peccare: Unable to sin.

Functional atheist: One who professes the fear of the Lord and lives as if he has none. Making excuses for himself because his actual reference point is human instead of divine but still is doing a lot of religious activity.

Anthropology: What does it mean to be human?

Hamartiology: What is the doctrine of sin?

What is our motivation to avoid sinful judgment?

What does “He will render to each one according to his works” mean (V. 6)?

What is a practical way we do this today?

Let’s talk about verses 12-16...

Why is judgment foolish?

Let’s discuss V. 25-29...

What does Paul mean by “works of the law”?

How do we do that today? What are the spiritual badges that we wear that we think make us right before God but that are actually not sanctified obedience?

“The Letter to the Romans (New International Commentary on the New Testament)” by Doug Moo

Biblehub.com

Amazon affiliate links are used where appropriate. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases, thank you for supporting Knowing Faith.

Helpful Definitions:

The Gospel: Promised beforehand through prophets, the Holy Scriptures, concerning the Son of David, concerning the Son of God. The gospel is centered around the person and work of Jesus Christ, who God is and what God is doing through Jesus, in order to liberate, save, and reconcile a people to himself for His glory.

ἐπαισχύνομαι (epaischynomai): to be ashamed (of). Carries a connotation of physical suffering.

Effectual Call of Salvation: God the Father sends the Son, God the Son accomplishes salvation for us on the cross, and God the Holy Spirit effects and applies that gospel into our lives.

Salvation: Always of spiritual deliverance for everyone who believes.

Belief or Faith: Being able to say and confess Jesus Christ is Lord. Includes giving your whole self away to Jesus as King. Faith is not what makes salvation actual, what Jesus did on the cross and in the resurrection is what makes salvation actual.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

In the book of Proverbs, in times where wisdom is personified, is it fair to read that as if Christ himself is speaking or being described since he is the perfect embodiment of the wisdom of God? It seems the most obvious in chapters 1, 8, and 9. Are there any misinterpretations possible in seeing those passages purely as words of Christ?

Is some sort of ministry/biblical studies degree important/helpful for leaders in the local church? (Aside from the pastor.)

How does the book of Job fit in with the story of Genesis? Does it?

What is one intentional thing you have done with your young children where you really felt you saw fruit from it in later years?

Can you give some insight on Molinism and how that coincides with or goes against the Reformed position?

When I was a kid growing up in a Baptist church, it was always the pastor who baptized people. I have noticed that occasionally the pastors at other churches in our community will allow others to baptize people. I am just curious when that shift came and does the Bible have any specifics on who can baptize?

One of the things I appreciate so much about y'all is how unashamedly trinitarian you are and how unashamedly trinitarian you encourage Christians to be. It seems as if part of this is to view every act of God in the Bible as something in which the whole trinity is involved. While one person may be the primary agent, there is still involvement from the other two persons. So, my question along those lines is what was the work of the Holy Spirit at the crucifixion? Romans 8 talks about the Father giving up the son. John 10 and 1 John 3 talks about Jesus laying down his life for the glory of the Father, but there seems to be no mention of what the Spirit was doing or how He was acting in the crucifixion. How then do we see the crucifixion as an act of the entire trinity?
