In this week's episode, John and Chuck discuss a sermon preached by Samuel Hopkins on the Law of God. The Law of God is an expression of God's character.

Hopkins give help to how we should understand and apply God's law to our New Testament stance with God and seven questions we should ask ourselves to see if we are right with God or if we simply have religion.
