He urges the congregation to approach the Word with an open mind to discern the genuine message of God.

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

What is the difference between law and grace?True New Testament grace was unknown until Jesus Christ came, whereas the Old Testament operated under God's goodness and favor rather than New Testament grace.

Distinguishing true grace from false graceEven in the time of the apostles, believers had to be warned to distinguish between the true grace of God and false teachings that perverted grace into licentiousness.

Warning against turning grace into a license to sinThe book of Jude warns against ungodly men who twist the message of God's grace into a permission slip to commit sin without fear of consequence.

Election according to the foreknowledge of GodTrue grace explains election not as arbitrary selection, but based upon the foreknowledge of God seeing who would respond to the Gospel.

God desires all people to be savedGod grants humans a free will because He desires children who choose to love Him rather than programmed robots.

Following the example of Jesus who did no sinTrue grace is not living however we want, but having the power to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, who committed no sin and had no deceit in His mouth.

The two parts of the message to the woman caught in adulteryJesus spoke two parts to the woman caught in adultery: first, 'I do not condemn you,' and second, 'From now on sin no more.'

Admitting guilt like the thief on the crossLike the repentant thief on the cross who admitted his guilt, true forgiveness requires taking full responsibility for our sin rather than blaming others like Adam did.

The blood of Jesus cleanses rather than just covers sinUnlike Old Testament sacrifices that merely covered sin, the blood of Jesus completely cleanses us so God remembers our sins no more.

Paul's honest confession of inner struggleIn Romans 7, Paul honestly confesses his struggle with covetousness and the flesh, crying out as a wretched man before discovering deliverance.

The law of the Spirit of life sets us freeJust as the law of life overcomes the law of gravity, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus frees us from the law of sin and death.

Coming to the end of our own strengthJust like the disciples catching no fish all night until they yielded to the Lord, victory over sin happens only when we stop struggling in our own strength.

Finding mercy and grace at the throne of graceJesus was tempted in every way like us yet without sin, and we can boldly approach the throne of grace to receive mercy for the past and grace to help in time of need.
