In this episode of Beholding Bible Truth, Scott continues the study of Matthew, comparing it with current challenging times and highlighting how these hardships align with God's plan. He talks about the importance of focusing on God as the "audience of one" rather than seeking the approval of the world. Scott emphasizes turning away from anxiety and fear and relying on God for strength and help, as supported by Isaiah 41:10. He talks about the importance of fixing your eyes on Jesus, reflecting on His sacrifice, and offers a blessing and prayer for the audience's well-being through Christ.
Scott also talks about the concept of sin and forgiveness, explaining Jesus Christ's role as the propitiation for sin. He describes propitiation as an atoning sacrifice that reconciles and appeases God's wrath. Keffer emphasizes the practice of confessing sins and aligning oneself with God to build intimacy with Him. He shares insights on having an advocate in Jesus, who provides purpose and redemption despite our failures. Keffer also touches upon career-ending mistakes, biblical stories of denial, and the modern challenges of being a believer.
