In episode two Rick and Steve go into some detail about 2 Corinthians 5:19: “whereas God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and putting the word of reconciliation in us.” Does “not imputing their trespasses to them” mean all of our sins?

In episode one Rick and Steve discuss 2 Corinthians 5:17-18: “So that if any one is in Christ, that one is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation,” asking the questions:

1.     What does it mean to be a new creation?

2.     What is a ministry of reconciliation?

This week on “In Real Time” Rick talks about the teaching that as a new creation in Christ we can be a saint and sinner simultaneously. I don’t believe this to be true. I believe we are one hundred percent forgiven, perfected, and a brand-new creation in Christ. That is our identity. 

In today’s episode Rick and Dan talk about confrontation. Dan believes confrontation is rooted in the belief in your greatness, and that confrontation requires someone that believes in me more than I believe in myself.

Today we look at Ephesians 2 and discuss how grace is the free gift from God and no one can earn it by works. Forgiveness is God’s free gift as well. God loves us because of who He is, not because of what we do or don’t do!

In our first episode Rick and Dan talk about how forgiveness is at the core of our relationship with God, and that we have a ministry of reconciliation.

In this final episode Steve expresses, with passion, that we are the sacred dwelling place of God. We are His temple. It’s time we live out of that truth.
