Unashamed Truth

The phrase "but God" serves as a potent reminder that our redemption is not a result of our own efforts but is entirely dependent on God's actions for us. When we are entangled in our sin, unable to navigate back to the right path, we are assured that God intervenes with His love and grace. This grace is not a reward for our endeavors or a testament to our worthiness; it is bestowed purely out of His love for us in Christ. This encapsulates the essence of salvation by grace alone – it is an unconditional gift from God, freely given without any prerequisites.

In today’s episode, Grant continues reflecting on the beauty of salvation from the Apostle Paul’s words in Romans 5:1–8 by examining the hope of all Christians, the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. This isn’t a chance hope but a hopeful certainty. We know the Lord Jesus Christ is returning for his church, and this is our hopeful certainty.

True saving faith has certain qualities that determine if that faith is genuine or false. Is your faith genuine, or are you depending on a prayer you prayed or an aisle walked for saving faith? This is a question we all must face, and on today’s podcast, Grant confronts us with that question as he begins to explore the qualities of saving faith.

Jesus knows the heart. Regardless of what we may say or do on the outside, Jesus knows the true intentions of our hearts. During his earthly ministry, masses of people followed Christ for what he could physically do for them, but when things got tough, they turned away. There are many false disciples. Disciples that have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. On today’s podcast, Grant takes us to the Gospel of John and gives us some insight into the characteristics of a false disciple.

When discussing salvation, "but God" is a powerful reminder that our rescue doesn't come from anything we've done. It's all about what God does for us. Even when we're lost in our mistakes and can't find our way back, "but God" tells us that He comes in with His love and grace. He gifts us his grace not because we worked hard for it or are good enough, but just because He loves us through Christ. That's the heart of being saved by grace alone – it's a free gift from God, no strings attached.
