## Resource

In this episode, Steve Lennart examines John the Baptist’s confrontation with the Pharisees at the Jordan, explaining key "terms of art" in the New Covenant—baptism, repentance, and being baptized with fire. Using passages from Matthew 3, John 3, 1 Corinthians 3, and Revelation, he shows how works done in human strength (the chaff) are burned up, while Spirit-led works (the wheat) are stored as heavenly treasure.Steve emphasizes that repentance means changing one’s mind about who is the source of good deeds, urging listeners to rely on the Holy Spirit so their deeds bear fruit and receive reward in God’s judicial system.
