Jesus, through salvation, makes us born again…made anew and you become a new creation!! Faith without works is dead, through the heart of Christ that transforms us we want to do as Christ did and does. Glory to God. So your life must change if Christ is living in you, in all the ways the Bible says. Let no one be deceived.

II Corinthians 5:14-17 - For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Galatians 6:15 - For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. (ESV)
Galatians 5:6 - For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love. (ESV)
I Corinthians 7:19 - For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God. (ESV)
Ezekiel 11:19-20 - And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. (ESV)
there are people that believe this
absolutely insane
theology that there is a difference
between simply being a Christian and
being a disciple of Jesus Christ they
say that being a Christian is free but
being a disciple is costly but the Bible
never makes this
distinction being a Christian and being
a disciple are one and the same the
reason that people believe this and read
this into the text is because they
believe in a false Gospel called the
cheap Grace Gospel as opposed to the
free Grace Gospel they believe that a
person can be born again and it's
possible that no transformation can
happen because they wrongly believe that
if transformation is a result of the
Born Again experience and a person
becoming a Christian then a person is
saved by works and what they do and it's
a Works based gospel but that is just
simply not the case and then what they
do is they throw out a whole bunch of
verses that clearly illustrate that
there in a general sense is a
transformation in the life of a Believer
and there is evidence that follows that
transformation they try to explain it
away and they do it very very poorly uh
they completely twist the verses uh in
ways that you wouldn't even
believe uh to try to arrive at that
place because they are convinced that a
person can be born again and there can
be no transformation at the Born Again
experience that it's possible for that
to
happen now what they do with this whole
Christian and disciple thing is because
there are other verses that they can't
get around whatsoever even with the
craziest explanations that they
try they have to separate Christian from
disciple like for example when Jesus
says if anyone would come after me let
him deny himself take up his cross and
follow me they say well this can't be
talking about a
Christian it has to be talking about a
disciple and the two then have to be
separate because um otherwise it's
showing that a Christian will live a
transformed life and and and we can't
have that if we believe the cheap Grace
Gospel but let me completely debunk that
with one
passage so let's go to Matthew chapter
disciples if anyone would come after me
let him deny himself take up his cross
and follow me and these people will then
say see this is talking about Disciple
This isn't talking about just any
Christian this isn't talking about a
person who's just given their life to
Christ this is talking about someone who
wants to live a costly life who wants to
walk in Greater levels of obedience and
sacrifice for Christ so that doesn't
prove that a Christian lives a
transformed life let's read on though
verse 25 for whoever would save his life
will lose it but whoever loses his life
for my sake will find it isn't that
interesting interesting let's read one
more verse verse
gains the whole world and forfeits his
soul or what shall a man give in return
for his soul that's talking about
salvation right there talking about
someone forfeiting their soul being
separated from
God so when we see Jesus is saying if
anyone would come after him and follow
him he's talking about
salvation clearly In this passage that a
person if they don't come after him and
follow him will forfeit their soul and
the person who does come after him and
follow him will lay down their life take
up their cross and follow
[Music]
him this is not a Works based gospel
works are never the means by which we
are saved works are not something that
ever keep us saved this is something
false that these people project onto
people that believe the true gospel but
rather this is the
result this this denial of self this
transformation is a result of the
transformation that takes place in the
Born Again experience it's not sinless
Perfection but rather it is a change of
affection people that deny this they
deny the power of the Holy Spirit they
deny the power of the born- again
experience they deny the spirit's power
working within the life of a Believer to
bring about Godly sorrow to bring about
repentance to bring about conviction of
sin and they make the false conflation
that if a person if a transformation has
to have taken place when a person is
born again therefore they're relying on
their Works to be saved or keep them
saved which I've already said is
completely
false now what people need to do is not
get caught up in looking for works all
over the place that's true people can so
readily doubt their salvation which is
dangerous because we are saved by the
finished work of Jesus Christ
and there are people out there who every
time they stumble they doubt their
salvation and God doesn't want this for
us at all it's definitely a danger
people can fall into but what I would
say to you is if you're someone who is
struggling with this one of the greatest
evidences that you are born again is the
fact that you are struggling with this
because there are people out there who
they don't even care about their sin
they they they love their sin they
indulge in their sin they're slaves to
sin if you're feeling a sorrow for a
grief in your
heart for the sin in your life then it's
a sign that the holy spirit is working
inside of you and you don't have to look
to those feelings you don't have to look
to your works just run to Jesus Christ
look at the cross get hold of every
verse that talks about how where sin
abounds the grace of God abounds all the
more how uh God showed his love for us
in that while we were still sinners
Christ died for us and just medit Med
itate on that and just rest in the
finished work of Christ that sorrow that
conviction for your sin is a sign that
you've been transformed because the
people out there in the world they don't
even experience that so friends don't
fall for this absolute nonsense that
there's a difference between being a
Christian and being a disciple don't
fall for the lies of the Blasphemous
cheap Grace Gospel which denies the
power of God
and which twists scripture denies
scripture don't fall for that the early
church fathers who were taught directly
by the apostles never believed in that
all of the prominent people throughout
church history never believed in that
and the scriptures most certainly do not
teach that it is one of the most insane
doctrines that you will come across I'm
going to put a video up on the screen
which goes over some of the verses that
shows the that there will be a
transformation in the life of a born-
again believer I'll put that on the
screen uh you're really going to be
blessed by that um if you have any
comments leave them below and I would
love to talk to you soon God bless you
friends
