New City Catechism Question Eighteen

Summary

In this conversation, Pastor Chrishon and Bryan Lees discuss question 18 of the new city catechism: 'Will God allow our disobedience and idolatry to go unpunished?' They explain that every sin is against God's sovereignty, holiness, and goodness, and that God is righteously angry with our sins and will punish them in His just judgment. They also address the misconception that the Reformed theology camp believes in a 'cheap grace' that allows for continued disobedience. They emphasize the importance of true obedience and gratitude in response to God's grace. The conversation concludes with a reminder of the scripture passage and a farewell.
