Honestly, I think it's who we're allowing ourselves to be taught by and not taught by the word of God or taught by God himself. So in our society, like realistically, we're on TikTok a lot. We're on Instagram a lot. And we're looking for pastors who fill our needs, our passions and pour into those things instead of literally ripping us to shreds. I don't know about you.

I know you like this being convicted and being like corrected. Like, so do I. I want somebody to tell me if I'm not walking right because I want to walk right. I want to be made right with God. I want to be righteous with God. Like, you know, so it's like desiring to always be a student and always like understand that you're never going to like reach this like.

perfect perfection where where jesus was but yeah i bring all that up just to say because it's like a lot of the teachings we listen to and the sermons we listen to they're like this grace that i would like if you messed up grace is here for you and blah blah and while that is true it's like are you going to keep going back into your habitual sin and your iniquity Or are you going to repent?

Because sin is missing the mark. Iniquity is living in a consistent cycle of your sin that you're not supposed to be living in. And a lot of freedom from that comes through confession. Literally, it's confess your sins to one another. And that's where you'll find the most freedom, actually. But confession comes through having accountability. And so it's this whole cycle of things.

It's like you humble yourself, you receive grace. Once you receive grace, the grace should change you. If the grace is not changing you, then it's not the grace of God because the grace of God should change you. If you're not seeing this active change in yourself, this renewing of your mind, shall I say, then you're not living by grace. You're just living by this tolerance. I have a question.

Do you think people are operating on a false doctrine of grace because they actually don't understand what salvation is? A thousand percent. Yeah. I think people think that grace, God's grace alone in accepting it is what makes you saved.

But Ephesians tells us that we are...

But Ephesians tells us that we are...

saved by grace through faith so it's a two-step process it's like god extends the grace onto us and whether if you accept it or not it's already given yeah your job is to respond to that in faith yeah so i think it's a false teaching that people could either give or yeah false teaching that people have infiltrated upon themselves yeah so where they think grace is just a one-step process when it's not a response it's the start of the process for sure

It's the beginning.

Which, like, we think of, like, I love, I think it's 1 John 4, and it says, we only love Christ because he first loved us. So the only reason as to why we have our faith and we're able to exercise works and all these things in reciprocation of our faith is because God first gave us the grace and the compassion that we need to do those things in the first place.
