Jesus Plus Nothing | Themes in Titus
About this episode
This episode discusses the dangers of legalism and antinomianism as warned by Paul in Titus, emphasizing the importance of sound preaching focused on Christ alone.
Titus 1:10–16 | Jesus Plus Nothing We are all being shaped by something. The question is whether the voices influencing us are leading us toward Christ or away from him. In this passage, Paul warns Titus about two ancient errors that have never stopped resurfacing — legalism and antinomianism — and calls the church to the kind of faithful preaching that exposes and defeats them both. Legalism tells you that Jesus is necessary but not sufficient. You need him plus your performance, your rituals, your tribe's cultural markers. Antinomianism tells you that grace is real but inconsequential — believe and live however you want. Paul says both are gospel poison, and both will destroy your faith. The antidote is clarity: sound preaching that keeps your eyes fixed on Christ alone — not your hold on him, but him.
