Such A Great Salvation: 1.God Changes Honest People - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Hyderabad Conference 2011 - Such A Great Salvation: 1.God Changes Honest People
Summary
The sermon emphasizes that true salvation goes beyond merely forgiving sins; it must deliver believers from the very power of sin. The speaker draws from Hebrews 2 to discuss this profound salvation, arguing that many believers are still operating under the old covenant's influence. He warns that if sin rules over a person, they are not truly under the new covenant, suggesting that the fault lies with spiritual teachers who fail to teach victory over sin.

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
Giving Heed to So Great SalvationThe book of Hebrews compares the old and new covenants, teaching how believers can walk in victory over sin just as Jesus did.
Living Under Grace Versus Sin's RuleMost believers still live under the old covenant where sin rules over them, largely due to teachers who themselves lack victory over sin.
God Loves Honest PeopleBeing honest is far easier than trying to be holy in one's own strength, and God meets with those who honestly confess their true condition just like the repentant thief on the cross.
Nathanael: A Man Without DeceitJesus commended Nathanael because he was completely honest and had no deceit in him, unlike religious hypocrites who pretend to be better than they are.
The Gospel Message in Genesis Chapter 1Just as the earth became formless and empty before the Spirit and the Word transformed it into something very good, human lives that fall into darkness can be remade by God.
Knowledge Puffs Up But the Spirit RenewsRelying on head knowledge and internet messages only creates spiritual pride, whereas true inner renewal is a gradual daily work of the Holy Spirit.
Never Taking Glory for God's WorkTrue spiritual victories must never be a source of pride, as we are merely receivers of grace who deserve nothing apart from God's mercy.
