The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What is repentance? What role does it play in salvation? What about in the daily life of the believer? Why do Christians still struggle with sin? Is it the presence of Satan or demons? Or do we have a sinful nature? What is the flesh?

To what degree should we listen to other points of view on losing our salvation? I’m concerned that I only believed with my head and not my heart. Should I be worried? Why did Jesus breathe the Holy Spirit on them in John 20? Does that passage mean we get saved and then pursue a second experience?

What are “the deep things of God” that no eye has seen in 1 Corinthians 2? How were we crucified with Christ if we’re not that old? Was Peter given the keys to the kingdom, becoming the first pope? What are your thoughts on common law marriage? How do we know we are eternally secure? My adult children are rejecting faith in Christ and rejecting me. How does God view the lives of unbelievers? Is Hebrews 6 saying I might lose my salvation if I can’t quit smoking?

You’ve been told to pray more, spend more time with God, and try harder to be “spiritual.” But what if you’re already doing it? What if you’re already in Him—always?

This message will blow up some of the religious jargon you’ve been taught and expose the pressure-packed mindset behind it. And here’s the great news: You’re already expressing Christ more than you realize. You’re always in the Spirit. And yes, you can shave, shower, and watch Netflix in Jesus’ name. (Seriously.)

Click to watch the full message and explore how God’s grace offers a whole new outlook on daily living. It’s time to stop striving and start enjoying the freedom of Christ as your life.

1. Which amazing truth from Part A means the most to you? Why?
2. React to this statement: Most of the time, you’re expressing Christ.
3. How might the word “always” encourage you in Philippians 1:20 and 2 Corinthians 2:14?
4. Do you really believe you can do ALL in the name of Jesus (shower, shave, watch TV)?
5. React to this statement: You are always spending time with God.
6. What does it mean to you to be one spirit with the Lord and always in the Spirit?
7. React to this statement: I don’t have a “prayer life.” Christ is my life!
8. How does God’s grace offer us a whole new perspective on prayer?

What does 1 Corinthians 3 mean about works burning up? Do Christians have two fathers? Do we sometimes serve Satan? What is the meaning of “Son of Man”? My friend believes only water baptism can bring forgiveness of sins. I’m not sure we can get married if we disagree on this! Is that what Acts 2:38 is teaching us - that water baptism brings forgiveness?

Was Peter the first Pope? If King Saul had been more obedient, might Jesus have come through his family line instead of David’s? What are the seven spirits of God in Revelation? Is there any biblical justification for a Pope?

What does James 4:17 mean? Does this verse justify a general guilt over "sins of omission"? Why does 1 John 3 talk about getting whatever we ask for from God? I've heard that we shouldn't even pay attention to being wronged by others? Is that true? Is that healthy? Is it possible that I was saved but lost it by putting confidence in religious works? Explain the parable of the shrewd servant. Why didn't Jesus point out his faults rather than use him as an analogy for us?

I felt the Holy Spirit leave me when I started vaping again. Did I fall from grace? What is "the free gift of righteousness"? Is our righteousness only imputed or also imparted? What's the difference? If we are not actually righteous, how would we ever get righteous in the future? How do we know if we are born of the Spirit? When does that happen? Is it related to water baptism?

What does it take to go to Heaven? I wonder about my family members who've died! Why would Jesus pray "Lead Me not into temptation" when God doesn't tempt us? How can I interpret "having nothing to do with deeds of darkness" without getting legalistic? What is a good definition of "grace"?

Why do I still struggle with sin? Might I end up losing my salvation? Does Hebrews 3 really teach believers to hang on for dear life? What do Seventh-Day Adventists believe? Why did Jesus ask His Father about forsaking Him? Don’t I need to ask for forgiveness after each sin so God won’t judge me or punish me?
