Recently, I was able to join Nick Batzig and Jeff Waddington on Christ the Center for a discussion on the third use of the law in light of redemptive-history. Errors abound when we fail to understand the role of the law according to God’s unfolding plan of redemption. In about an hour we were able to cover much important ground, and we have received a number of insightful comments on the episode. The discussion was prompted by Nick’s ThM work on the subject. He has published a lengthier piece at Feeding on Christ, and I encourage you to read it.
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
