Episode 20 —

For much of my life, I believed in Sola Scriptura. Yet I eventually realized that I had often read many of the New Testament's clearest descriptions of salvation metaphorically. What if the apostles meant exactly what they said when they spoke of being delivered from the domain of darkness, freed from death, and transferred into the Kingdom of Christ?

In this episode, we examine the biblical language of salvation, beginning with Colossians 1:13, and ask two foundational questions: Saved from what? Saved for what?

Rather than beginning with later theological systems, we'll let the New Testament define the problem Christ came to solve and discover how that shapes our understanding of the Gospel, the cross, and the Christian life.
