Applying Justification to the Church (Sermon)

In this sermon, River Devereux explains how the good news of our justification by faith alone makes us all one in Christ, and how understanding this reality is essential if the Church is going to survive the massive influx of spiritual refugees into our communities which is sure to come.

Deep Dive into Paul's Teaching on Justification:

Excellent sermon! Keep preaching the Gospel of Grace! Keeping you and your family in my prayers.

I loved this message. It is a good reminder on how we should treat new believers in our churches.

I think we need a better understanding of Torah/Teachings. If we look at Greek word Nomos it gives us a skewed perspective of It.

The problem with the false view of justification is that it ignores the very clear teachings of the prophets that leaving behind sin is a condition for forgiveness, not merely a byproduct:
Ezekiel 18:21-32 if the wicked man turns from all his sins he has committed and observes all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live
2 Chronicles 7:13-14 If...My people...humble themselves and pray and seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins
Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and he will have compassion on him

We need to abandon sin FIRST, and then we receive forgiveness. Not the other way around. Scripture is clear on this.
