The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What does it mean to be one with the Trinity? What are your thoughts on the “little gods” theory? What is the best approach to evangelism? I think I may have an unknown sin or unbelief that may be hindering my home sale and move to North Carolina. How should I view the situation?

What is repentance? Are we only forgiven if we repent? Are we only forgiven if we forgive others first? What’s the Matthew 18 parable of the unforgiving servant really about?

Why does 1 John say we need no one to teach us? What does it mean to enter God’s rest? What message did Israel hear and not believe? How is that an example for us today? How do we make sense of a passage in Proverbs that seems contradictory about answering a fool?

What did Herbert Armstrong teach in the Worldwide Church of God? Why didn’t the sheep actively repent in the Luke 15 parable? How can Jesus be “the savior of all mankind” (1 Timothy 4:10) if universalism is not true?

Did Jesus have siblings? How did the world become populated after the flood? How can I encourage my daughter not to sleep around? What does Paul mean by “law of God” and “law of sin”? Why does God allow evil? How is God‘s will not threatened by the actions of men?

You’ve probably heard it all – spend “more time” with God, be “intentional,” confess more, surrender more, and then, maybe you’ll end up closer to God. But what if that’s all backward? What if you’re already as close as you’ll ever be? No striving, climbing, or spiritual gymnastics – just IN.

If the apostles were here today, they’d set the record straight: Closeness with God isn’t earned, upgraded, or improved over time. You’re either in or out. And if you’re in, you’re in – forever. Baptism won’t seal the deal. More good behavior won’t level you up. And no, you don’t “abide” some days and wander off other days. You’re fully united with Christ right now, no matter what.

Progressively getting closer to God is a myth. Watch now and celebrate your “divine entwine” with Him!

1. What role does baptism play? In water? In the Spirit?
2. React to this statement: You are IN the Trinity.
3. How close are you to Jesus? Why?
4. What does it mean to “abide” in Christ? Are you abiding in Him? Why or why not?
5. React to this statement: Christ is your life and you will be revealed with Him in glory.
6. Explain the difference between location (in the Spirit) and walking or setting the mind.
7. What is God’s will for your life? How is this different from what we often hear?
8. What does Philippians 4:13 really mean? How is this different from what the false health-wealth gospel promises?

My friend has a form of religious OCD, and she needs help. Can you offer any advice? Is artificial intelligence inherently evil? How can my mind be renewed when I’m so overwhelmed by circumstances?

I received a frightening diagnosis today, and now I’m wondering what happens to Christians when they die? How can I know for sure that the grace of God is real? What about salvation being certain and secure? If God loves everyone, why do some people suffer so much?

If God is love, and if love keeps no record of wrongs, then isn’t the whole world forgiven and saved? Wouldn’t that mean no final judgment? Is “once saved, always saved” really the truth? And what about Christians who end up sinning so badly?

Does Luke 9 really mean that we have to die daily? Why would we confess our sins to God? Why would we confess to other people? Is our forgiveness hanging in the balance?
