Saving faith begins in the mind, but must move to the heart to be saving.
Ever wondered why some Christian leaders shied away from Paul's teachings? In this episode of Encounter Recovery Ministries, Rick Peterson takes a close look at the book of Romans to shed light on God's dual nature of kindness and severity. Peterson starts by stressing the importance of understanding scripture in its full context. He then explores Paul's gospel, a perspective that was often rejected by early Christian leaders who opted for a different message, one that highlighted God's severity.
This episode dives into why this happened and how it still resonates today. Peterson also delves into the 'religious mind' of the natural man, discussing the critical roles of faith and grace in salvation. He emphasizes that while progressive sanctification and becoming more Christlike are essential outcomes of justification, it's crucial to avoid falling into the traps of perfectionism and legalism.
Additionally, Peterson warns against false depictions of Jesus in media and teachings, explaining how they can undermine our trust and love for Him. As you journey through Paul's writings, you'll be reminded of the importance of giving glory to God and growing in Christlikeness.
