In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood Podcast, hosts Jesse Schwamb and Tony Arsenal explore the Scots Confession, focusing on the transformational role of the law in a Christian's life. They articulate how the law, once perceived as a source of condemnation, is redefined through the lens of Christ as a source of encouragement and guidance.
