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...
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.
So it's like, it's not even like a, God don't even need you all that much. He really picked up his end and did what he needs to do. Your job is to just respond correctly. And I think that's where, you know, the saddest thing is seeing people walk around swearing up and down.
They think that they're saved because they're accepting a superficial grace upon their terms, but not from the terms of God, which is found in scripture.
Yeah. And, I want to add language to what you said about, um, you know, receiving the grace. And then after that comes that faith. Right. But then after that faith comes obedience because literally in, I think it's a first John four, it literally says, if you love me, you will obey my commands. So it's like faith without works is dead.
And everyone's like, Oh, I didn't need to work my way to salvation. You don't, but the faith, your works and your, your, um, attitudes, the renewing of your minds are just fruits of the faith you have in God. Yeah. Like we can't,
obey god and walk in um unity with god and oneness with god without having that faith and then yeah without that faith grace yeah so for sure but it's grace faith it's almost like a math that's the math i can do yeah i couldn't do math in high school but that's like math i can do god math like right like grace faith obedience provision and i'm I mean, we see that with Abraham.
The Lord graced him. The Lord was like, go out and do this by faith. It literally says by faith, Abraham obeyed in Hebrews 11. That's Hebrews 11. Yeah. And Noah. Yeah. All of them, by faith, they obeyed. Then the faith, they obeyed, went into places that they didn't know... They had no direction on, no instructions. They weren't given no blueprint. God was just like, go and do this and do it well.
And they went and did it anyway. And what they had to do was hard.
It was even just like a, hey, like, you know what? If you come here, you're going to be fine.
Like their lives were on the line. Literally laying their son on the altar, building an ark so their families could be saved. And like literally the Lord can deliver them like Noah. And then it's like, but you also see provision come right after that. The Lord provided a land for Abraham.
And then for Noah, like literally the new land that he was on and like so much more, but literally like, you know, we can sit here and be like, oh yeah, the equation is so simple, but it's a daily thing. The mercies are new. It's continually doing that. And I think what keeps, I can speak for myself, but what keeps me on track with that equation is accountability. Yeah.
