Waukesha Bible Church: Reigning Grace

In light of positional truth, the Bema Seat Judgment will NOT be a time of remorse and regret for the believer. This chapter looks at key passages that show how the day of accounting will be a day in which God receives His glory for all that He did in you and through you to those around you.

Is grace living against the Law? Christians are not under the Mosaic Law, yet they are not lawless. They are under the law of Christ. What impact does this have on grace living?

For whatever reason, most Christians live in a state of perpetual bondage because of their inability to embrace a complete forgiveness from God and a full fellowship with God that is merited by grace alone and maintained by grace alone. This chapter looks at a key verse in regard to this idea of complete forgiveness and unbroken fellowship.

The Christian life is not to be one of frustration, but victory. In the midst of our greatest defeat, we can still have the confidence of God's unconditional acceptance and efficacious empowerment as conquerors.

Does God ever punish the believer for his sin? This question is difficult. Yet if one understands this particular truth, they will be able to experience what it means to be free in Christ and to walk in the grace of God.

What exactly is meant by the term "carnal Christian?" The difficulty of the discussion lies in understanding positional truth. Is it possible for believers to be identified as "carnal" and if so, what does this mean?

The key to living in grace is found in Galatians 5:16-26. The key to grace living understands the Holy Spirit's ministry in you and through you to those around you. What the Holy Spirit is for us is the result of the cross. This idea cannot be separated from what Christ did and is doing.

The area of the New Testament imperative (commands) is a great concern for all believers. The Old Testament said, "Do this and live." Yet we must ask ourselves the question as to whether or not this is still true for us today.

In light of who we are in Christ, what does this look like in our daily lives? What this looks like falls under the idea of "progressive sanctification." This chapter explores this biblical concept and the idea of a monergistic, gospel-driven sanctification.

Perhaps one of our current tragedies is the failure of the church to live in the theology of Romans. Because of its neglect, we have failed to understand and thus embrace the fundamental doctrines of justification, imputation, redemption, propitiation, and reconciliation. An understanding of these areas provides the believer with the foundation for living.
