7.Our Bodies Belong To Christ - Zac Poonen
Summary
The speaker contrasts the Old Testament understanding of obedience under the Law—which focused on earthly rewards and curses (like Deuteronomy 28)—with the New Testament reality of a bridal relationship with Christ. True discipleship, he argues, is characterized by perfect love, which eliminates fear, rather than obeying out of fear of punishment or desire for earthly blessings. He warns that preaching the 'Old Testament gospel' is a false gospel.

4.The Obedience Of Faith And Love - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015
The central message is the transition from the 'obedience of fear' to the 'obedience of faith.' The speaker argues that Old Testament obedience was often based on fear of punishment, like a child obeying out of fear of spanking. In contrast, the New Testament calls believers to the obedience of faith, which means trusting God's guidance even when the reasons are not fully understood, trusting that God knows what is best for us. This maturity is achieved through the Holy Spirit, moving us from being like children under the law to grown sons under grace.
