Cures for Antinomianism
Summary
Sinclair Ferguson tackles the problems of legalism and antinomianism, arguing that a true understanding of the gospel reveals God's law as a gracious gift. He explains the Christian's unique "in-law" relationship with the law through union with Christ, where the Holy Spirit writes God's commandments on our hearts. The discussion traces the law's role from creation to Sinai, its fulfillment in Christ, and its future perfect obedience, reinterpreting seemingly negative New Testament views on the law as contextual rather than absolute.Episode description
