1054. The Listeners Speak! The Changes Grace Brought to Them (Part 5)

Some weeks ago, we asked our listeners to comment on something that completely changed for them as they slipped from the roots of religious legalism into the grace of the gospel.

This week includes the topics of:

- Trying to keep some type of weekly religious sabbath and attempting to "Christianize" the concept (mix the Old Covenant with the New).
- The habit of continuously seeking or asking God's Spirit to come ... or asking God to come into our presence (as though He left for another zip code).
- Asking God daily for forgiveness—again and again (as if the cross never happened).
- Equating church attendance with one's spiritual state ... having people wanting to pray with an attendee to repent and get right with God (after they haven't shown up for a while).

1052. The Listeners Speak! The Changes Grace Brought to Them (Part 3)

A few weeks ago, we asked our listeners to respond with comments to this:

Name something that completely changed things for you when coming from a traditional or legalistic-based religious mindset compared to a greater knowledge of the gospel of grace. For those who have experienced such a journey, the differences are nothing short of amazing (and exciting). There is a good chance you have had similar experiences you'll find very relatable.

This week includes the topics of:

- Thinking a believer in Christ can forfeit their salvation.
- The Holy Spirit convicts us (believers) of sin.
-Religious accusations of idol worship motivated by guilt.
- God's love didn't really bring any change to you unless you were wholeheartedly committed to church ministry.
- Misunderstanding our identity inherited in Christ ... instead of working or doing something to attain what God has already gifted.

435. Avoiding Religious Regulations

This week we find ourselves jumping into a spontaneous discussion about some religious mindsets people have and the things they feel the need to do. Often it's human-based traditions that are the foundation that leads people into this bondage. Where do many of them come from? Usually it's a variation of the Old Covenant that the Jewish people were under. An obsolete covenant that has been replaced with a brand new one that brings freedom to Jews and Gentiles alike.
