Can Christians live anyway they want to and God will still save them? Jesus gave his life as a free gift but it was not cheap-it cost him everything! As a man becomes a new creature in Christ, the disposition to sin becomes less and less as the Holy Spirit works in that man.

God is a unique, one of a kind being, a spirit, not physically bound, omniscient, and omnipotent. Post-modernism creates our own reality, morality and faith. God wants to bring grace into our lives so we both experience Him at a deeper level and impact others around us. We become agents of transformative change!

TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE
Performance based religion is very different than grace. The idea of following rules to be acceptable to God can define a performance based religion. A religion that requires standards of behavior and the performance of those behaviors can actually run the risk of not having a relationship with God.

Joel shares his testimony of grace. What happens when you fall off the “gerbil wheel”? If I mess up, how do I fix it? Pride makes me feed my performance and look for honors from men. What is legalism? It’s all about performance; rules; standards of behavior; the better you perform the more pleasing results you will have. The New Testament shows us the God of love, mercy and forgiveness
