Why Covenant Theology Matters | Theocast

Covenant Theology and Resting in Christ

Many of the things that we talk about on Theocast that some people listening to this will be familiar with, some people will not be, and that's fine. We talk a lot about resting in Christ. We talk about the sufficiency of Jesus, how he's done everything that we need in order to be saved and in order to have peace with God.

We talk a lot about assurance. How can we know, Jimmy, like you were just talking about, how can we know that we're safe and that things aren't just okay for me today, but they're going to be okay for me forever?

Covenant Theology and Assurance of Salvation

How do we know that stuff? Covenant theology is inextricably linked to that, and I think that will become increasingly clear over these episodes, these sessions that we do. Especially in seeing what Jesus accomplished in the covenant of grace by fulfilling the covenant of works in order to accomplish the covenant of redemption, there is certainty and rock to put under our feet, and it helps us understand how there is no room left for anything else to be contributed.

Jesus has done this, and because Jesus has done this and I'm in him, I'm safe. That matters more than anything for sinners in a fallen world.
