The Story of God’s Explosive Grace

The elephant in the room… “If I am under God’s grace can I live however I want and still go to heaven?”

The Three Aspects of Salvation

Because of the failure of the Church to understand these three aspect of Christian theology known as Soteriology, darkness overshadowed Christianity and turned the good news into bad news just like all the other religions. TERMPROCESSTENSE JustificationDeclared righteous by faithPast SanctificationProcess of becoming righteous in one’s earthly life Present GlorificationIn heaven will be righteousFuture

Understanding the true nature of Christian freedom

 Believers are set free – John ; Galatians 5.1  Free from the Law – Romans  Free from sin – Romans 8.2  Free from death – Romans 8.2  Law of liberty – James 1.25, 2.12

It means that because of your justification, you are free from the penalty and condemnation of sin. That is, there is not a gun to your head to live in perfect obedience to achieve salvation.

GRACELAW MotivationLoveFear God’s reaction to sinDisciplineJudgment Image of GodFatherJudge Good works“Want to”“Have to” AttitudeHope filled joyHopeless despair Essential differenceFreedomEnslavement Living out life (Romans 7.3) Serve in newness of the Spirit Serve in oldness of the letter

The Meaning of Freedom and Liberty as it Pertains to Sanctification

Is the Christian under God’s law and required to obey the Old Testament?

In logic this is what is called a complex question, meaning that it cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. It is like this complex question, “Have you stopped beating your wife?”

Well it depends on what kind of law you are referring…  Ceremonial and ritual laws: No  God’s moral law: Yes The New Testament repeats all of the Old Testament morals laws that Christians are to obey and follow.

The beauty is that if we sin we are free from the eternal consequence of that sin and its condemnation. However, we are not free from the discipline of our Father. 7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Hebrews 12

The beauty and glory of God’s free gift of justification frees the believer from sin’s condemnation and is meant to motivate him or her to now live a life pleasing to the One who gave so much to remove the gun. It doesn’t mean that sanctification allows the Christian to break God’s moral law. That is a misuse of God’s grace.

16 Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God (meaning in your sanctification). I Peter For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. Galatians 5.13

Three Salvation Heresies Exposed in the Bible

HERESYVIEWREFUTATION LegalismFollowing God’s law and doing good deeds earns salvation Romans GalatianismOne is saved by grace but kept by the law Galatians AntinomianismSaved by grace and free to sin James

The Four Shouts of Antinomianism

“Let us sin so that so that grace may increase.” Romans 6.1

Well, if a little sin brings a little grace, and a lot of sin brings a lot more grace. And if grace is a really good thing. Let’s sin up a storm so that we will be flooded with God’s grace. Paul’s response to this stinkin thinking… 1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Romans 6

“We are not under law but grace,” (therefore we can do what we want.) Romans

Since we are not to use the Old Testament standard of God’s Law in order to attain salvation, because salvation is by faith through grace. Then we don’t have to follow any rules, commandments, or moral codes. All we need is grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! Romans 6

The answer is embedded in Romans If being under grace meant doing whatever you wanted then it would be okay to sin at will. But Paul makes it clear that those who are under grace should not sin. In fact, God’s grace is meant to empower and motivate us to live holy lives.

“All things are lawful.” I Corinthians 6.12,10.23

12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. I Corinthians 6 23 All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. I Corinthians 10

1. Paul might have began the saying in the context of freedom from the OT dietary laws. 2. Certain Gentile Corinthian Christians broadened the meaning to all things. 3. Paul ropes them in by qualifying true Christian liberty with two conditions: a. Liberty must never lead to moral slavery (6.12) b. Liberty must build up other believers, not tear them down (10.23)

“I have faith” James 2.14 Meaning: Since we are saved by faith and not by works then all I have to do is mentally accept as true the facts of the gospel.
