493. What the Law Could Not Do, God Did

While religion has touted a list of rules and regulations as a way to attain life and acceptance from God, we can see how His righteousness would be revealed through a different source. The requirement of the Mosaic Law would be fulfilled in us through the finished work of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:1-5). Even Gentiles who were not pursuing righteousness attained it by faith, apart from works and we can now walk according to the Spirit instead of carrying out the desire of the flesh. When we're led by the Spirit, we're not under the law.

186. Religion vs. Relationship - Part 2

Download/Play MP3

This week it's Part 2 of our chat about how life in Christ is not about religion, but about relationship. We share a short list of some of the BIG differences between religion and real life in Christ! We talk about our futile attempts to keep God pleased with us through "self-imposed religion" and by subjecting ourselves to rules and regulations, as well as focusing on external, outward behavior - all of which is "of no value against the indulgence of the flesh!" Comparing all of this with the freedom and grace that we have in our lives in Christ, which do you want?!
