In this past Sunday's sermon, Pastor Benji reminded us of two important principles concerning the content of the gospel:
What Christ offers: Jesus pours out His grace to us, and gives us the privilege of apostleship. We are a forgiven, prophetic community.
What Christ requires: Jesus mandates that His people walk in obedience to Him, which is obedience to the will of the Father.
The outpouring of the grace of God is not license for disobedience.
The outpouring of the grace of God is not excuse for rebellion.
Do you really love Jesus? Do you really believe His claims concerning His divinity, His lineage, His conquest of death and the grave? Then, to quote Pastor Benji, "desist from your evil ways". As we live lives of obedience, others will see and know the grace of God.
Are you ready to be a living letter, a walking Gospel?
