Summary
God's renewal calls believers forward in obedience and devotion, not merely returning them to their previous state. The pastor teaches that renewal requires recognizing a clear view of God, repenting of sin, and embracing growth and deeper faith rather than treating grace as permission to sin repeatedly.
Highlights
God's renewal calls us forward in obedience and devotion to God. It's a call to some new things in our life. It's more than just renewal. It's more than just forgiveness. It's more than a restoration of the relationship. It's a call to growth.
Real renewal with God happens when we see a clear view of God, we recognize our sinful condition and we come back to Him with complete abandon, recognizing the cost of following Jesus and that God is calling us forward in obedience and in devotion to Him.
The Bible is not a list of do's and don'ts. This is a detailed explanation of God's protection in your life. When God gives you warning about sin, it's not because he just wants to be an angry grandfather. He knows what's best for us and he knows what is life and what is death.
