The David Spoon Experience Part 2 1-12-22
Welcome to the 90-minute show of The David Spoon Experience.
This 60-minutes is all about:
1) We have discussed the Favor (which is Justification), The Fight (which is Sanctification), and The Future (which is Glorification). These are the three tenses of salvation. To miss this is to misuse or abuse a multitude of scriptures and develop lousy theologies. Do not miss that salvation is past, present, and future.
2) Having said all that and knowing that I wrote one of my master's theses on this very point, we examine the middle one. Not the finger, but the theology. It has to do with the struggle that exists inside of us believers, as the Apostle Paul mentioned when he wrote, For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit. The desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other.
3) There is a difference between position and practice. There is a difference between Divine declaration and earthly manifestation. A perfect example is understanding the penalty of the Law. Jesus came and set us free from the penalty of the Law, which is death. But as we witness, the earthly manifestation has not been fully realized, or Christians would not die. Positionally, all good. But practically, we need to learn that patience is not just for doctors.
