An Old Commandment
The Apostle John wrote in 1 John 2:7-8 about a command that was “no new commandment” and “an old commandment,” but in the very next verse seemingly counters his own words by calling this command “a new commandment.” One might read these passages with great confusion! Was John speaking some sort of doubletalk? No, quite the contrary, as we show in this broadcast in our continuing study through John’s first epistle.

Our Propitiation
As people called of God, we ought to walk in the paths which Christ walked, in holiness and righteousness. Unfortunately, this is often hindered by the sinful nature we all inherited from Adam. We sin, sometimes greatly. But praise God, we have a righteous Advocate with God the Father, our propitiation, Christ Jesus.

Reactions to Grace
God’s saving grace really is amazing. All people are conceived in sin and shapen in iniquity. God, in His mercy, elects to rescue sinners from this condition by His grace. Believers love this truth as it is central to the gospel message. Consequently, it ought to be our expectation that people with terrible pasts go from living in full rebellion to God to desiring Christ.
When this occurs, there are two general reactions from believers: We can receive them joyfully, or we can respond with suspicion and scorn. In today’s broadcast, we consider both reactions to God’s grace.
