Grace Paradigm

Some of the most graceless people you'll ever meet are also the most religious. For many, the religious life is essentially about keeping the right rules to try to justify yourself before God -- in other words, law-keeping. But what Jesus brought was an entirely different paradigm: grace! Grace says, "I'm not justified by how good I am, but by how good God is toward me, completely apart from my own profound unrighteousness." In this teaching, we look at the fruit of lives lived out of law and grace paradigms and see how Jesus's words still ring true for you and I today: those who are forgiven much love much. And those who aren't don't. How can you respond to Jesus' invitation to walk more fully in the way of his grace today?
