Join me all next week on Abounding Grace Radio as I fill in for Chris Gordon. Monday is a message from Romans 13 but beginning on Tuesday we will be discussing Romans 7. Heidelberg Catechism 114 asks, Can those who are converted to God keep these commandments perfectly?” and it answers this question this way: “No, but even the holiest men, while in this life, have only a small beginning of this obedience; yet so, that with earnest purpose they begin to live not only according to some, but according to all the Commandments of God.” This language captures the essence of the Christian’s struggle with sin and the earnest resolve within every believer to obey gratefully, by the grace of God, in union with Christ, in light of the good news that Christ has saved his people.

AGR airs Monday–Friday in the PacIfic Northwest on KARI 550AM, in San Diego on KPRZ 1210AM, KDRU AM 1130, Fresno, CJFW 103.1FM in British Columbia, KPDQ in Portland, on AM 800, via shortwave KVOH in Zambia, and everywhere at AGradio.org.
