Show Notes

Should Christians use the law to make believers question their salvation? Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn examine how the law functions before and after someone comes to Christ, and why Scripture's use of the law should not leave believers trapped in far. The conversation explores assurance, salvation, and the danger of using the law in ways that undermine confidence in Christ. They also address the question of whether Christians should continually doubt their salvation and how gospel clarity brings freedom and assurance.
