Heidelcast For January 15, 2023: Sin, Salvation, & Service: The Threefold Truth Of Romans (6)

by Heidelcast on January 15, 2023

In this episode, Dr. Clark continues the Heidelcast series on Romans, looking more in-depth at chapter 2. In previous episodes, Dr. Clark has unpacked total depravity and reprobation as described in Romans 1. Now, we see the role of the law, focusing especially on Romans 2:13. It is not a promise to Christians who keep the law in cooperation with the Holy Spirit. It is a re-statement of the works principle or the covenant of works: do this and live. Properly understanding these passages is critical for grasping Paul’s division of Law and Gospel outline throughout the entire book!

This episode of the Heidelcast is sponsored by Westminster Seminary California. The need for well-trained ministers and laity is greater now than at any time since the Reformation. Doctrinal confusion abounds. Educational standards are slipping. So the work of Westminster Seminary California has never been more important. We need pastors and leaders in the church who really know the Word, who can really read the original languages competently, who can preach the law and the gospel faithfully, who can shepherd the flock graciously, and who can reach the lost boldly.
