About this episode
Sean D Cole discusses the importance of living holy lives in anticipation of Christ's return, emphasizing the need to treasure Christ above sin.
In Romans 13:8-14, Paul teaches believers to cast off works of darkness and put on the Lord Jesus Christ. He urges us to live holy lives as we anticipate the Second Coming of Christ. Instead of just saying “no” to sin, we need to see Christ in all of His glory and find that He is more captivating, beautiful, glorious, and worthwhile than the sin before us. The other half of gospel repentance involves treasuring Christ above all. Sean's new book, Compassionate Calvinism: Defending the Doctrines of Grace Without Being a Jerk, has been released.
