Send us a text Welcome, 'Podcats'. In this episode, we explore one of the most misunderstood ideas in Christian theology: If we’re under grace and not law, does that give us a license to sin?

Everyone is a servant to something—either sin, which leads to death, or righteousness, which leads to holiness and life. Key Themes: The Principle of Obedience: Wh...

As a result, God's wrath is revealed from heaven. People have given themselves over to idolatry, immorality, and all kinds of unrighteousness. The ungodly and unrighteous stand under divine judgment. To make matters worse, human righteousness offers no refuge. In reality, people have no righteousness of their own t...
