For far too long, the Christian Church has settled for the most fundamental Gospel of salvation and eternal life. It has failed to recognize the Gospel’s call for maturity as sons and daughters of God and for spiritual preparation for the Kingdom to come. This podcast lays the foundation for understanding the ultimate purposes of God in salvation. It will then endeavor to build upon that foundation toward the upward call of God to spiritual maturity. If this is your heart’s desire, too, then listen on, More here: https://ufsministries.com/podcast","last_synced_at":"2026-06-18T02:18:42.786022+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-upward-call-7023106"},"episode":{"title":"S5.E2.

The power of sin like gravity, is ever present at work to corrupt the inner nature of man; and when given into, man commits sins by his outward actions.

I f however, as Paul writes, “… the law of sin in my members,” (Rm. 7.23) here the word sin is a noun, not indicating the action of sinning but of a present power of sin.
