Was Christ’s coming a failure?  Was He unable to deliver those held captive to the sinful nature?  Is it possible to obey God’s command, “Be holy, because I am holy,” (cf. Lev. 11:44-45, 20:7; 1 Peter 1:15-16)  in this life?  What difference does the Advent of Christ make for how we live our lives?  Find out on this week’s podcast from Faith Church.
