Rescued, Part 9: Grace Is Not Permission to Sin
Our response to God’s grace should not be to sin more freely, but to choose to be slaves to Christ, to commit to obedience in our daily living, and to get baptized.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 8: How Do We Send?
We cannot, in ourselves, save anyone else. But God sends His people to preach the gospel in His power so that others might hear, believe, and call upon Christ as Lord.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 7: Death in Adam, Life in Christ
All have sinned, all are under the reign of sin and death, and all are in solidarity with Adam. But we find the gift of grace in the second Adam, Jesus Christ.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 6: Since We Have Been Justified…
Those who are justified by Christ have access to God’s throne room, have peace and reconciliation with God, and know the importance of enduring suffering.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 5: Faith Like Abraham
Believers can know, by faith, that our sins are forgiven, we are born again, our eternity is guaranteed, and we are being conformed to the image of Christ.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 4: The Good News
The Christian faith is the only one that keeps works in their proper relationship to salvation. The gospel shows that God pays the price for the offense against Him, with Christ’s righteousness imputed to undeserving people by faith.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 3: God and the Jews
The law cannot save, it can only reveal sin. Relying on good works cancels the work of Christ. We are saved by grace alone, yet we are still called to obey Jesus and His commands.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 2: God as Judge
Those who suppress the truth invite God’s wrath as they deviate theologically, in worship, sexually, intellectually, and socially. Yet anyone who calla on Christ will be rescued from that wrath.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 1: Foundation
Christians are called by God, which means that our participation or presence has been officially requested by Him. We are called from death to life, called into His service, called to be mutually encouraging of each other, and called to live by faith.

The Attributes of God: Goodness
God is good to His creation, to His disobedient people, and to those who obey Him. He is good in providing salvation to sinners. So we should rehearse His goodness daily, trust in it even amidst life’s pain, and purpose to reflect on it.
