GRACE, FAITH and LIFE
A Personal Statement of Christian Faith and Practice

The law (moral and ceremonial) is what God required of Israel under
the old covenant.

 John 1:17 Gal 3:23-25 Heb 8:10 10:20

Legalism is a self-defined, or religiously defined

set of laws (works) and expectations

for satisfying a commitment to God

which is based on a misunderstanding

of how we come to God

and how we walk as Christians.

Rom 6:11-14 Gal 2:20-21 5:1,4 Mark 7:5-9

GRACE, FAITH and LIFE
A Personal Statement of Christian Faith and Practice

New Covenant Life is living in newness of life, “a new and living way”.

A new way of living with God, when we believe Christ is who He said He is, we now have a connection to God in all of our thinking.

The attitude (desire) of our heart is toward God, as a Child of God.

The Holy Spirit teaches us the truth about Jesus and His Word  which renews our heart and mind.

This affirms our relationship with Him and, over time, changes our attitudes, thoughts and behavior. His Truth becomes the desire of our Heart and we experience the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 3:16-20   Hebrews 10:19-22  Romans 6:11-14  1 Corinthians 2:12-13    2 Corinthians 3:4-6   Galatians 2:20-21 2 Peter 1:3-4   Romans 7:6  Ephesians 4:17 Galatians 5:22-26

GRACE, FAITH and LIFE
A Personal Statement of Christian Faith and Practice

Obedience can be an expression of Godly love, but, obedience cannot be the motivation for Godly love.

Acts of kindness performed as a duty are not necessarily love. (They may be simply a desire for self-improvement [achievement], to fulfill perceived expectations [duty] or for reward.)

or, with the proper attitude, they may be brotherly love.

Godly Love comes from a desire which God has put into your heart. Learning how love comes from God, is the essence of the Life which is promised in the  New Covenant.

Matt 22:37-39 Mark 12:30-33 John 14:15, 21 John 15:9, 17 Rom 5:5 12:10 13:8-9 1Cor 13:1-13 Gal 5:6

God Is Spirit

And Speaks To Us Spiritually

John 4:24 Romans 8:16 1 Corinthians 2:9-14

Our Conscience

 Is Not God’s Spirit

 Heb 9:14 10:22 1 Tim 1:5 1 John 4:17-18

Gen 3:1-13

We received the Conscience as “knowledge of Good and Evil”, but until we believe in Jesus Christ, we have no “power” over that knowledge. The Conscience is what makes people believe they can “be like God”.

4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” English Standard Version

Hinders Learning Something

So Much

As to Think

That You Already Know It.”  – Mark Twain –
