Salvation is Life in God Jesus

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Law & Grace P15 (10-19-22)

Are You An Actor, Practicing Christianity or Are You Born Again of the Spirit of God?

~ “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:7

~ “You can immerse yourself, baptize yourself into a role, to the point where that role becomes a part of you, even though it is not a part of. And so in religion, you can do the same thing. You can sit in an evangelical church, where people are really proponents of the Bible. And boy, they teach that this Bible is true. And I’m grateful for that. But you see, again, knowing that the Bible is true, and knowing what the truth means, is two different things. Because you can always be studying as the scripture says, and never come to a knowledge of the truth.”

You see, one way, a person is a hypocrite and the other way the person is a true child of God. Many in the world today are practicing hypocrites. They are really good at their acting craft too. Because from the outside, for a person looking at them on the surface, you would say, “there goes a child of God, because after all, they never swear, they always are so polite to me and those around them, they are stand-up people in their community.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Life to the Dead

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Law & Grace P14 (10-18-22)

There is More Than One Type of Death in the Bible. The Law Produces Death in Me. Jesus Brings Life to The Dead.

~ “I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.” Romans 7:10

~ So what does that mean? “You see, you can’t serve two masters, you can’t serve the risen Christ and the law at the same time, because you’re serving one thing that produces death, and another produces life. So which one are you going to serve and if I start serving the other, I’m dead. When I serve the other, I’m alive. You can’t serve two masters. That’s what quite frankly, this scripture talking about that a double minded man is unstable in all ways. That is a man who has got one foot in the law and one foot in the grace of God. It is the condition of the Galatians, the Galatianism, you foolish, idiotic Galatians, who has hypnotized you cast an evil spell upon you? And he asked them the question, Did you receive the Spirit of God by obedience to the law, or by believing what you heard?… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Jesus is the Only Righteous One

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Law & Grace P13 (10-17-22)

How Am I Going to Be Righteous in The Sight of God? Only Through Faith in Jesus.

~ “We know that whatever the law says, and all of course, all of this teaching in this particular lesson is what is the purpose of the law? In other words, why did God give us the law? Well, it says, Well, you know, that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced, and the whole world held accountable to God. So if you want to be under the law, you’re going to have to be accountable to God, not to one another, but accountable to God, and what the accountability to God is, have you violated the least of these my commandments in your entire lifetime? Because if you have, you’d better hope you’re not under the law, because the wages of sin is death. And it says, later on, you’re under a curse. But he’s saying this, folks, to those of you who are under the law, you’ve been taught under the law, you’re under legalism. You think that your righteousness before God is predicated upon your obedience, instead of his obedience.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Stand in the Righteousness of Jesus

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Law & Grace P12 (10-12-22)

How Can We Be Righteous Before God? Only By Faith in Jesus, the One Who is Righteous.

~ “But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 6:21-23

~ “And God says, Wait a minute, you missed the purpose. I showed you these things in order to show you your total inability to ever live up to that law. And also to tell you very clearly, that even if you did, you’d never be declared righteous in my sight through obedience to the law, that righteousness is going to have to be imputed to you declared to you.

Now it says in verse 21, but now a righteousness from God, apart from the law has been made known to which the law and the prophets testify. So it’s saying, wait a minute, if I cannot be declared righteous in His sight by observing the law, from the law, how is an unrighteous person ever going to go into the presence of a righteous God?… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Take Off The Grave Clothes

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Law & Grace P09 (10-05-22)

Jesus Said, “Take Off The Grave Clothes”

~ Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead ~ John 11:38-44
38 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39 “Take away the stone,” he said.

“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”

40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.

Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Only by Faith in Jesus Not by Works

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Law & Grace P08 (10-04-22)

Trying to Obey the Law Will Cause More Sin in Your Life ~ The Answer: Live By Faith in the One Who Took Away All Your Sins on the Cross!

~ So in Romans 5:20 were say, the law was added so that the trespass might increase. In other words, did we just not read that the law was added because of transgressions, until the seed came. And it was added, so that the trespass, the transgression might increase, but where sin increased, Grace increased all the more, so that just as Sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness, to bring what? eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. So we’re going to see that wherever we are as Christians, under the law, that you’re going to see that the power of sin is in the law. And as a Christian, when you put yourself under the law, instead of entering into where God called you to the Sabbath rest, that you’re going to find that in your desert experience attempting to find your righteousness through obedience to the law, that all you’re going to discover is that you’re sinning more, either outwardly or inwardly or both, that the more you’re under the law, the more sin is going to increase in your life.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message
