Summary

The true grace of God is understood not as a license to sin, but as the power that prevents sin from ruling or mastering a believer. This grace requires believers to live in fear and conduct themselves holy in all behavior, recognizing that their redemption is far more valuable than any earthly wealth. The message warns against false teachings that minimize the seriousness of sin or the preciousness of Christ's blood.

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

What does the gospel of the grace of God mean?The phrase the gospel of the grace of God is widely misunderstood, but the New Testament defines grace compared to law as sin not ruling over you.Romans 6:14

Does falling down mean you have not learned to walk?Just as a grown man may occasionally slip up and fall on the road after learning to walk, struggling or falling occasionally is different from sin continually mastering your life.

The true grace of God in first PeterPeter had to write an entire epistle addressing corrupted views of grace, concluding that living in fear and following Jesus is the true grace of God.

Loving Jesus without seeing himA proof of the true grace of God is that even though you have not seen Jesus physically, you love him and believe in him with joy unspeakable.1 Peter 1:8–9

Salvation of the soul and holinessTrue grace provides salvation from the defilement of an inherited sinful soul and calls believers to be holy in all their behavior because God is holy.

Conducting yourself in fearContrary to false teachers who claim God overlooks all sin because he is a father, Peter warns that God impartsially judges every man's work, requiring reverent fear.

Evaluating television preachersAfter watching numerous Christian TV programs and American preachers, the speaker observed that 99 percent failed to preach the true gospel or mention living in fear.

The supreme value of the blood of ChristBelievers are redeemed not with silver and gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, which must never be treated cheaply like tap water.

Overcoming the excuse of weakness in sinThe notion that you cannot help sinning because you are weak is a lie from the devil, who claims sin is more powerful than the grace of God.
