The gospel of grace stands as the ultimate cure for the cognitive dissonance many Christians experience when they believe conflicting ideas about forgiveness and fellowship with God.
• Paul's greeting of "grace and peace" reveals a profound truth about what believers already possess
• Cognitive dissonance occurs when Christians believe they are forgiven yet must continually ask for forgiveness
• The Galatian church struggled with "Jesus plus works" syndrome—a problem still prevalent today
• Falling away from grace doesn't mean losing salvation but making Christ of no value in our daily lives
• The finished work of Christ provides unbroken fellowship with God now, not just in heaven
• Modern Christianity often focuses on stopping sin rather than embracing our identity in Christ
• True rest in Christ comes from tuning out the noise of legalism and performance-based faith
• Paul's message wasn't behavior modification but believing what we already have in Christ

And now here's Lenny.
Lenny (00:22):
Welcome back to the podcast everyone.
So I think we'll be moving onfrom the first seven verses of
Paul's letter to the Romansafter today.
We've talked about apostles andPaul's apostolic ministry.
We've touched on thesovereignty of God and those
called to be saints.
We learned that God is notYahweh's name, jesus is not a
(00:42):
very good translation for Yeshuaand Christ is not Jesusweh's
name.
Jesus is not a very goodtranslation for Yeshua and
Christ is not Jesus' last name.
We also learn that the meaningof name as used in scripture
goes much deeper than the nameitself and that the meaning can
be found within the names.
When we look at the originalHebrew language, we found that
the obedience of faith that Pauldescribes is not what we might
(01:03):
think.
It's actually a gift given andnot a work performed, and
holding tightly to that gift andcherishing it with our life is
an attitude that will bear muchfruit in Christ.
The last two episodes were inregards to the unseen spiritual
battle that was coming to itsclimax during Paul's ministry,
but was not over yet, as he wentfrom nation to nation with the
(01:26):
gospel of grace.
And speaking of grace, have youever wondered why Paul says
grace and peace to you when he'saddressing the saints in Rome
who are born-again Christians.
Shouldn't they have alreadyreceived grace through faith?
Wouldn't that have given thempeace?
Let's read our Romans passagefor some quick context here
(01:46):
before we get started.
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle set
apart for the gospel of Godwhich he promised beforehand
through his prophets and theholy scriptures concerning his
son, who was descended fromDavid according to the flesh and
was declared to be the Son ofGod in power according to the
Spirit of holiness, by hisresurrection from the dead.
(02:08):
Jesus Christ, our Lord, throughwhom we have received grace and
apostleship, to bring about theobedience of faith for the sake
of his name, among all thenations, including you, who are
called to belong to Jesus Christ, to all those in Rome who are
loved by God and called to besaints.
Grace to you and peace from God, our Father and the Lord Jesus
(02:31):
Christ.
That's Romans, chapter 1,verses 1 through 7.
I think it's worth noting herethat words can take on different
meanings based on context.
I think it's also worth notingthat being obedient to faith in
the way that Paul describes inthis verse does not make you
automatically keep that gift infocus.
If having faith like theApostle Paul was necessary to
(02:54):
prove obedience, I think we'dall be in a little bit of
trouble.
If having the grace that wasgiven to Paul with his
apostleship was supposed to begiven to each and every
Christian, then where are allthe Christians?
If we begin to base ourfellowship with Yahweh on
anything we do or don't do, wefall into a false paradigm
ourselves.
We often have to remindourselves and I say this mostly
(03:17):
to those who have foundthemselves far outside of
mainstream views in their searchfor truth we often have to
remind ourselves that the reasonso many are lost in bad
doctrine is not because they'renot Christians, at least here in
America.
Many are born again and simplynever come to realize that
mainstream teaching is leadingthem away from grace.
(03:37):
Double talk creates cognitivedissonance.
In the field of psychology,cognitive dissonance is
described as a mental phenomenonin which people unknowingly
hold fundamentally conflictingcognitions.
In other words, they're holdingto two truths that are
completely in opposition to eachother at the same time.
I think as humans, but evenmore as Christians, we must be
(04:02):
constantly training our minds toresist this trap.
The gospel of grace is the curefor cognitive dissonance.
That's what I believe, but thegospel of grace in the
mainstream has been damagedbeyond recognition.
In mainstream Christianity we'retold that Christ died for the
forgiveness of our sins.
Then we're told we have to askGod for forgiveness when we sin.
(04:24):
Is that not double talk?
Of course, like all things,we're supposed to believe that
we just need to understandbetter.
If we had the education of ourpastors, deacons, priests and
bishops, we would surely solvethis puzzle.
But then, as we seek thisknowledge, we only sink further
(04:45):
into the dark abyss.
Next thing you know, you'rewalking around in darkness, but
not because you're not in thelight, but rather because you're
walking around with your eyesclosed.
The only way children of thelight can walk in darkness, as
described in John's firstepistle, would be to close their
eyes to the truth.
It's dark when we close oureyes, isn't it?
Why are so many Christianswalking around with their eyes
(05:07):
closed?
From my vantage point and thismay upset some people, but what
I see is that many of theattitudes and views of those who
were infiltrating the churchesin the days of the apostles are
now operating the churches.
The doctrine Paul was up againstin the Galatian church was a
doctrine of Jesus plus works.
They were being trained tomaintain their salvation by the
(05:29):
works of the law, and if you goback to the law, you would also
have to go back to needing moreforgiveness.
This is a point that Paul triesto make to them.
They were suffering from acognitive dissonance similar to
that of our day, that says youare forgiven, that you have to
ask for forgiveness to maintainfellowship.
To that mindset, paul said I amastonished.
(05:52):
I am astonished that you are soquickly deserting him who
called you in the grace ofChrist and are turning to a
different gospel.
Not that there is one, butthere are some who trouble you
and want to distort the gospelof Christ.
Paul writes in Galatians,chapter 1.
In his letter to the Galatians,paul refers to these people as
his brothers.
(06:12):
Even Peter was among those whowere partaking in this error
that had made its way into thechurch.
From this we can learn just howeasy it is to fall into the
cognitive dissonance of legalismand, as Paul points out in his
letter to the Galatians, ithappens even to those who are
called into grace.
In his rebuke, he brings Peterback to his foundation.
(06:35):
Yet we know that a person isnot justified by works of the
law but through faith in JesusChrist.
So we also have believed inChrist Jesus in order to be
justified by faith in Christ andnot by works of the law,
because by works of the law noone will be justified.
By faith in Christ, and not byworks of the law, because by
works of the law no one will bejustified.
Paul is saying to Peter inGalatians 2.
(06:56):
And in regards to grace, paulcontinues his argument to Peter
I do not nullify the grace ofGod, for if justification were
through the law, then Christdied for no purpose.
It's easy for most to brush offthese passages and say well,
they were following the law.
That situation was specific tothe law of Moses.
Well, just as those whoproclaim Judaism today don't
(07:19):
follow the law of Moses,modern-day Galatianism does not
involve the law of Moses either.
The permanent end of the law ofMoses that was the result of
the AD 70 destruction of thetemple was not enough to stop
mankind from continuing todistort the gospel of Christ
Yeshua.
Now we just cherry pick rulesand regulations and impose those
(07:40):
on others in the name ofmaintaining fellowship with God,
in the name of making ourselvesholy to God.
But this attitude was notimpressive to Paul.
In Galatians 3, paul writes Areyou so foolish?
Having begun by the Spirit, areyou now being perfected by the
flesh?
They were trying to perfectthemselves by the law.
(08:01):
This must have sounded veryreasonable to them, but if we
apply what the author of Hebrewstaught about Christ, we again
find that this view was justmerely cognitive dissonance.
In Hebrews 10 we read For by asingle offering, he has
perfected for all time those whoare being sanctified.
They were trying to perfectwhat was already made perfect in
(08:23):
the Galatian church.
The primary function of the law,according to the author of
Hebrews, was to remind Israel oftheir sin and provide temporary
atonement for that sin.
Christ came to reconcile thefaithful forever.
But just like the Galatians, wekeep finding ways to
self-cleanse ourselves and denywhat we've been given by the
Lord.
(08:43):
Paul describes this as fallingaway from grace.
In Galatians 5, we read Itestify again to every man who
accepts circumcision that he isobligated to keep the whole law.
You are severed from Christ,you who would be justified by
the law.
You have fallen away from grace.
Paul speaks severely here inorder to get their attention.
(09:04):
Falling away from grace is notfalling away from salvation.
When we study spiritualregeneration in scripture.
It's not something that can bereversed.
We can't change who Yahweh hasmade us.
We can't change who we are.
We are children of God MostHigh, we are saints, we are
reconciled, but we can makeChrist of no value in our lives.
(09:26):
How do we do this?
By making rules.
It doesn't matter what rulesyou make.
If you make rules, you have tofollow them perfectly.
Those who make rules inChristianity don't follow them
perfectly.
It's not possible.
So, like the Pharisees, theyjust make up their own
exceptions.
The only way that those whopreach that we can be out of
(09:47):
fellowship with God as believerscan see themselves as in
fellowship with God is throughcognitive dissonance.
As Christians, when we believewe are constantly in and out of
fellowship with God, we don'tget proper rest.
Resting in Christ is more likea deep, healing sleep, not one
that gets disrupted all throughthe night by every little noise.
(10:10):
We have to tune out that noiseto really rest in the grace of
Christ.
Christ Yeshua was not sent tomake you stop sinning.
The result of his finished workwas not intended to help you
focus more on your sin, as mosttoday believe.
Yeshua gave you his spirit torenew your mind and to change
your focus from your works tohis works.
(10:32):
The church in Rome that Paulwrote to in his letter to the
Romans did not seem to be havingthe same struggle as Galatians,
at least not at that time.
But Paul opened his letter withthe same statement grace to you
and peace to both of thesechurches, and to the church in
Corinth, who was well known fortheir sinful lust.
(10:52):
Paul writes Therefore, we areambassadors for Christ, god
making his appeal through us.
We implore you, on behalf ofChrist, be reconciled to God.
That's 2 Corinthians 5.20.
Paul spoke on sin in his letterswhen necessary, when things
needed to be addressed in thechurch, when his brothers were
(11:13):
not acting like the saints thatGod made them.
But he was fully aware, asGod's messenger of the gospel of
grace, that belief in a taintedgospel was not going to help
anything.
Nothing good comes fromdoubting our identity in Christ.
When confusion is cast on thereconciling grace that came from
the bloodshed on the cross, wedrift away from grace.
(11:34):
When we drift away from gracein our minds, we make Christ of
no value to us here on earth.
The only way we can truly be atpeace with our Heavenly Father
is to be reconciled.
Paul wasn't saying that theywere not reconciled.
He was insisting that theyactually believe it.
We have the life of Christliving in us now.
(11:55):
Yeshua gave us his spirit so wecould live in his grace now and
forever, not just later on inheaven.
So many are waiting to get toheaven in order to have unbroken
fellowship with God.
So many are teaching others tohave that same view.
Those with this mindset havemissed the most amazing gift
that our Lord has given to eachand every person who has been
(12:17):
given his spirit a perfectfellowship with Yahweh, a love
that never ends or experiences abump in the road, a fellowship
that not a single person beforethe cross of Christ was able to
have with God.
Paul the Apostle, throughout hisletters to the saints, is
calling on them to embrace thegift that they have received, to
(12:40):
understand the power of grace.
Paul's focus was not that thechurch stopped sinning.
It was that they startbelieving.
Believing in what they had inChrist already, who they were in
Christ, believing in who theywere to Christ.
This was the message thatYahweh was pleased to send Paul
(13:01):
with.
This was the message that theascended Christ Yeshua revealed
to Paul so that the church couldreceive it.
This was the message of graceand peace that Paul was set
apart for.
So what more can I say in theclosing of this episode and in
anticipation of what we're goingto learn in the rest of our
Roman study?
I think we can quote Paul toall those who are loved by God
(13:25):
and called to be saints.
Grace to you and peace from God, our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ.
I guess you could say that tothe Christian.
Christ is saying something likeRedbone sang about, but in a
different way Come and get yourlove.
Come and get your love.
Come and get your love.
Come and get your love now.
See you guys next week.
