Episode 209 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. Why is it so hard to make progress in holiness? What do you think a new Christian should know about this topic?
2. What does it mean to say that Christians will judge the nations with Jesus?
3. I have a friend who is suffering from depression. She says killing herself isn’t wrong because she will be with God, which is better than being in this horrible world. She is a Christian, and isn’t persuaded there’s a biblical reason not to commit suicide. What would you say?
4. I am confused about the comment Jesus made in Mark 4:12, what we call the Parable of the Sower. On the face of it, it seems that God is preventing the people from understanding and coming to faith. Can you explain that? Also, can you talk about the seeds, especially the seed on the thorny ground. Is that someone who is ultimately an unbeliever? Finally, can you recommend a book on the teachings of Jesus?

I want to be married to someone who I have loved for 15 years. But she does not believe in Christ? Can I still marry this person? 2. How can you tell if you are really bearing fruit and growing as a Christian? 3. With the law-gospel distinctive in mind, how are we to tell the difference between an exhortation that is moralistic vs. an exhortation that is Christ-centered? 4. In your book, Core Christianity you write that God is self-existent. And you make the point that God created the world out of love and not necessity. Can you elaborate upon that? 5. If the Bible teaches that salvation is by grace how do you make sense of the book of James where he says faith without works is dead?
