Welcome to our Monday’s broadcast of the
Gospel truth today I’m going to start a
brand new series teaching on what I call
living in the balance of Grace and Faith
I have this book on this and this is a
uh over 210 page book and I’m going to
be giving this to you as a gift you know
this teaching on living in the balance
of Grace and Faith in my opinion is the
heart of what God has called me to teach
I teach on Grace a lot and some people
would think that that’s the focus of my
Ministry but if you just focus on Grace
the abuse of Grace not Grace itself but
if all you do is focus on Grace the
abuse of that is it leads into sin it
leads into lethargy it leads into an
extreme sovereignty of God where
everything is just up to God and if you
teach on faith by itself well then that
leads into
legalism where you feel like you have to
do something to make God move you will
often hear people say faith is what
moves God faith doesn’t move God and I
know that that may be a shocking
statement to some
people but if you can stay tuned I’m
going to put all of this into balance
and you have to live in a balance
between Grace and Faith and it seems
from my experience that most people
either get turned on to Grace like say
for instance if they grew up in just a
traditional
legalistic denominational
setting they get to where they feel like
they’ve got to do all of these things to
appease and Angry God and at first they
may be very motivated and they just give
it everything they’ve got but did you
know it when you start basing God’s love
for you on what you have done you’re
eventually going to run out of that
because you aren’t going to do things
perfectly and you will come under your
own judgment you will come under your
own Doctrine and feel like how could God
love me you won’t doubt that God has the
power to move but you’ll doubt that he
would use his power on your behalf
because your own heart condemns you and
you know that you aren’t doing things
right so if you were raised in one of
those legalistic backgrounds and then
you hear about the grace of God the
tendency is to just throw away
everything that was ever taught you
about faith and get over here to oh God
it’s just you it’s just your love and I
have nothing to do with it and if you
aren’t careful you’ll go to an extreme
you know there was a man named Bob boo
and I never read this book I I’ve seen
the book and I’ve read portions of it
and I’ve had people talk to me about it
but the title of it if I’m not mistaken
was the pendulum swings or as the
pendulum swings and on the front of the
book it had like an old grandfather
clock in this pendulum you know that was
the uh thing that calls the motion there
and it had the pendulum way over here on
the side and then when you you stop that
instead of coming back to center it goes
past the center and back and and the
whole purpose of this book was to say
that people hit an extreme over here and
like say for instance they get into
legalism and what I must do and then
they realize that man that’s wrong it’s
not what I did it’s what Jesus did for
me and so they come completely and
instead of stopping in a balance of
Grace and Faith instead they go way over
here to where now it’s all about me and
I’ve got to do all of these things are
it’s you know if they’ve been in
legalism they come over here to it’s
just up to the grace of God you have to
have a
balance between these two things it says
in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 for by
grace are you saved through faith and
that not of yourselves it is a gift of
God not of Works lest any man should
boast that is saying that you’re saved
by God’s grace but God’s grace alone
doesn’t save you now I’m going to go
into more Det detail on this
and I’m going to say some things that
are kind of shocking and so please don’t
turn this off I’m trying to get your
attention and let people realize that
it’s not either or it’s a combination of
the two it’s technically not wrong or
let me say it this way it’s not wrong to
say that you’re saved by grace if you
take Ephesians chapter 2:8 the verse
that I just quoted and if you back up to
verse 5 it says even when we were dead
in sins hath quickened us together with
Christ and then in parenthesis it says
by Grace ye are saved and so it’s not
wrong to say you’re saved by grace Paul
right here said you’re saved by grace
but then just a couple of verses later
he said you’re saved by grace through
faith and so I’m not going to sit here
and nitpick with people you can say that
you’re saved by grace to emphasize that
you didn’t save yourself that we were so
destitute we had to have God come and
save us and I understand what they’re
saying but it’s technically correct to
say you’re saved by grace through faith
it’s also not wrong to say that you’re
saved by faith because over in the Book
of James it talks about that that you’re
saved by faith but it’s not by faith
only you’re also saved by works and uh
so anyway I’m going to get into this in
a lot more detail but my point is you
got to have a balance between Grace and
Faith Grace is what God does for you
independent of
you it says in John chapter one that
Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ so
Jesus is the one who brought the grace
of God and that was 2,000 years ago
before you and I even existed before we
had ever done anything good or bad God
commended his love toward us through
Christ Romans Chap 5:8 and he died for
us while we were still in our sins we
hadn’t deserved anything see that’s
Grace but grace alone doesn’t save again
I’m going to get into more deta detail
on this but Titus 2: 11 says the grace
of God that brings salvation hath
appeared unto all men now if grace alone
saved then all men would be saved
because the grace of God that brings
salvation has appeared to all men God’s
grace does not save you by itself God by
Grace provided it he made the sacrifice
it’s available but faith is what we do
not in order to get God to do something
but just to receive what God has already
done some of you may think that you know
I’m just dealing with semantics but when
I understood this and I saw the balance
between Grace and Faith Grace is God’s
part faith is our part when I saw the
balance between is it up to God or is it
up to me and I begin to see a balance
that it’s God who provides and does
everything it’s his power but it doesn’t
flow without us it flows through through
us and we certainly don’t make God do
anything we don’t force God what we do
is become a channel and let God flow
through us and as we act in faith that
just receives and releases what God has
already done when I begin to understand
this it just transformed my life and in
my
opinion I really believe that this is
kind of where God has placed me in the
body of Christ most people either get
turned on to Grace and they just focus
on that nearly exclusively or they get
turned on to faith and they focus on
that exclusively and you’ll often hear
Faith people criticize people who are
preaching Grace and then you’ll hear
Grace people criticize people who are
preaching faith and it’s either one of
these two camps but very seldom do you
see people combine these two things and
I tell you this when I understood this
it transformed my life you know I just
got through through teaching a series
celebrating our 55th year anniversary of
when the Lord changed my life and I
experienced the grace of God in a
powerful way in
1968 but then when I got back out of
Vietnam a couple of years
later I got exposed to the faith
teaching and I began to start realizing
that Faith was powerful and that
Miracles could happen but I fell into
the Trap I don’t know that I’ve ever
really abused grace to the degree that I
you know some people believe that there
is no hell that there is no
accountability you can live anyway and
it doesn’t matter there’s some people
that are in under the guise of Grace are
actually uh promoting homosexuality
transgenderism and everything I never
went that far I never went into that
abuse but I did get to where I was
abusing Faith because I had heard about
faith and how that Faith man is powerful
and you can believe and you can make
things happen and I got to to where I
had all night prayer meetings trying to
force God to send a Revival I took the
responsibility upon myself to get people
saved to get people healed uh to uh
provide and do all of these things and I
tell you it was wearing me out and when
I begin to start
combining Grace and Faith to where my
faith doesn’t make God do anything but
just here’s one of my definitions of
faith it took me 20 years to arrive at
this and you may think and I’m just
really slow butth nonetheless this is my
story that about 20 years after the Lord
had miraculously changed my life I
really begin to merge Grace and Faith
together and here’s one of the
definitions of what I believe faith is
most people believe faith is what you do
to move God and you’ll often hear that
but God doesn’t have to move God moved
by Grace 2,000 years
ago before you and I existed he’s not
the one that’s stuck he doesn’t have to
move he’s already provided everything
even before you have a need Faith
doesn’t move God faith just
appropriates what God has already
provided by
Grace now that that is awesome and again
that may just go right over some
people’s head and say well what’s the
important thing about that that
transformed my life it it gave me a
peace
and I begin to enter into a rest I’ll be
talking about that out of Hebrews
chapter 4 where we have this sabbath
rest to where we’ve ceased from our own
labors and we’re just resting in what
Jesus has done instead of trying to do
something to get him to do things and
when I experienced this it just moved me
to a total new level of relationship
with God and
also it really made my faith abound
because when you’re having faith in in
your faith well then see that’s
contenent upon you and I guarantee you
there’s none of us that do everything
perfectly and your own conscience is
going to be condemning you and the only
time you will ever have confidence and
assurance and really believe that
something is going to happen is when you
have done everything right which doesn’t
happen very often and so there’s not
going to be a lot of times that you are
really strong and bold and confidence
but when you understand that Faith isn’t
something you do to move God
but faith is just your positive response
to what God has already done faith is
how you reach out and appropriate what
God has already provided and when you
get that understanding then it provides
this security and consistency because
Jesus never changes if your faith is in
Jesus and what he has done for you that
is a whole new thing than your faith
being in yourself and in how holy you’re
living
boy I tell you I’ve set a mouthful and
all of this is just introduction I’m
trying to show you that there has to be
a balance between these two you know I
had a man one time come up to me and he
said this reminds me of sodium chloride
sodium is poison and if you eat enough
sodium it’ll kill you if you eat enough
chloride it’ll kill you but you mix them
together and it becomes salt and you’ll
die without it you have to have salt and
so that’s the way Grace and Faith is did
you know Grace by itself is all if all
you do is focus on what God has done and
it has absolutely nothing to do with me
and you just totally disconnect this
leads you into that kind of attitude
about K sah Sarah whatever will be will
be it leads you into an extreme
sovereignty of God to where you don’t
believe that you have anything to do
with anything that everything is done
and ordained by God and I’m going to be
spending a lot of time showing you that
that is is not true that is not what the
word of God teaches but see that’s what
happens if all you do is just focus on
Grace and you don’t understand that we
have a part to play it leads to abuses
and if all you do is focus on faith and
faith is powerful and by faith in
Hebrews chapter 11 by faith people were
able to quench the violence of fire they
were able to stop the mouths of lions
they were able to do all of these things
but if you focus only on Faith you will
start bearing the burden and thinking
I’ve got to do these things and then
when I do this this and this when I do
all of these things right then God is
going to move and that’s not true Bible
Faith that’s what the Bible would
actually call Works our legalism it’s
not right there’s a ditch on either side
of the road you know out in the
country man I lived down the country for
30s something years on dirt roads and
they had the road beveled for drainage
and on each side of the road there is a
ditch and especially in the snow we had
a curve not far from my house and people
would go around that curve too fast and
they would begin to slide and when they
did they would overcorrect and try and
miss that ditch and they’d nearly always
hit the other ditch and you could tell
by their tracks in the snow exactly what
had happened and you know one ditch
isn’t better than the other ditch if you
want to get to your destination you got
to go down the middle you you got to
find a balance between those ditches and
that’s the way it is you know grace
alone will kill you if all you do is
just function in Grace the abuse of that
will be laziness queros and extreme
sovereignty of God if you focus on faith
only that’ll lead to legalism it’ll wear
you out you know I we had a a poem in
our Baptist Church and it says Mary had
a little lamb it would have been a sheep
but it joined the Baptist Church died
from lack of sleep and the point is that
man in in the Baptist Church you just
had to do stuff and you had to do this
and unless you were doing all of these
things God wouldn’t answer your prayers
and so people were motivated to live
holy in order to get something from God
it was kind of like a barter system God
I’ll do this and this and this and now I
expect you to heal or you to deliver or
you to do something that’s not the way
that the gospel is and so an abuse of
faith I am for Faith I’m a faith guy I’m
for Grace I’m a Grace guy but I’m for a
balance between these
two and if you don’t strike that balance
I guarantee you there’s a ditch on both
sides of the road you’ll either get into
laziness and complacency and just it’s
all up to God and whatever happens is
God or you’ll get over here to where you
were trying to make God you’re trying to
twist his arm and I tell you what trying
to force God uh for you to be trying to
force God God is just not an easy road
to nobody is up to that and it’ll wear
you out and I know that there’s some of
you watching this program that just this
little introduction that I’m giving to
this subject is already struck a cord
with you and you’re worn out you’re
trying to do everything man you’re
praying you’re studying the word you’re
going to church you’re trying to live
holy you’re doing everything you know
and you still aren’t seeing the results
that you want and you just are you’re
like on a treadmill and you can’t get
off you don’t know how to stop this
teaching is going to be a tremendous
help to you you know let me illustrate
this that when I got born again I was
eight years old and I was in a I grew up
in church I mean we were like skunks we
had our own Pew that we sat in it was
our Pew nobody could get that Pew and it
was right up at the front but I was in a
vacation bible
school thing and they brought us in
according to the classes we were in in
and there was about 600 kids in this
church and I was on the very back row
and this man was uh preaching and he
held up a dollar bill which back when I
was eight years old this would have been
1957 that was a lot of money and he held
up this dollar bill and he said I’ll
give this dollar bill to the first kid
that comes up here and takes it and
immediately I mean there is just a rush
of kids there’s probably 20 kids around
him all saying I want it and I thought
of all times to be sitting at the back
of the church this was a wrong time but
this guy just kept his arm up in the air
and he kept saying I’ll give this dollar
bill to the first kid that comes up here
and takes it and everybody was wondering
what’s he doing because everybody all of
those kids wanted it and he just kept
repeating this and about the third or
the fourth time it finally hit my
Lightning Fast mind what this guy was
saying and I got out from the back row
ran down to the front of the church
pushed my way through all of those kids
and this guy had his arm up in the air
like that so I was you know just8 years
old I grabbed his arm like this and
climbed up his side and I reached up and
grabbed that dollar bill out of his
hand and when I did he looked at me and
he said now all of you wanted it but he
says that is the first kid kid that came
up here and took it and then he began to
use that to illustrate that by Grace God
provide salvation he’s made the payment
it is a free gift you don’t have to earn
it but you do have to take it you can’t
just sit there and say well if God wants
me to be saved then I’ll be saved no he
has provided it it’s like he’s he’s
placed all of this food in front of you
and he said eat but he’s not going to
stuff it in your mouth he’s not going to
feed you intravenously he provides it
and provides this spread for you but you
have to reach out and take it see that’s
kind of an illustration between grace
and faith by grace God gave the dollar
bill but I had to take it by Grace God
lays this food in front of you but you
have to reach out and take it do you
reaching out and taking it make God do
it no he did it in advance God has
already provided but it’s not God 100%
if it was just up to God every single
person in this world would be born again
because that is his will second Peter
3:9 says God is Not slack concerning his
promises as some man counts slackness
but his longsuffering towards us not
willing that any should perish but that
all should come to repentance that right
there tells you it is God’s will for
every single person to be saved and yet
Jesus himself said that there would be
many more that go by the broad gate
under destruction than go by the narrow
gate un everlasting life so that shows
you that God’s will does not
automatically come to pass God Wills for
every single person to be be saved in 1
John 2: 2 says that he is the
propitiation that means the atoning
sacrifice for our sins and not for ours
only but also for the sins of the whole
world so Jesus has made a payment for
everybody’s sins even the sins of people
who rejected him but they aren’t
automatically saved because you aren’t
saved by grace alone you’re saved by
grace through faith Ephesians chapter
2:8 so God by Grace has provided
everything but we have to reach out and
take it and faith is not something we do
to get God to move God by Grace provided
salvation 2,000 years ago before any of
us even lived it’s a done deal the Lord
doesn’t have to die for your sins today
he’s already done it he died for you
before you existed he paid for your sins
before you ever committed one it’s not a
matter of will God save you if I do this
right if I promise I go to church and I
promise I’m going to live right from now
on God will you save me the Lord has
already provided salvation he doesn’t
have to get up off the throne and go
suffer for your sins he’s already paid
for it that’s Grace but you have to
respond and if you don’t respond he’s
not going to force it on you he’s not
going to spoon feed you he’s not going
to feed you inous he’s put this spread
in front of you but you have to reach
out and take it he’ll give the dollar
Bill to any person but you have to reach
out and take it you just can’t say I
want it and then wait to see if God is
going to provide
it boy this is powerful and again
there’s very very very few people that
connect these dots most people are
either Faith people or they’re either
Grace people but very seldom do they
connect those to where they’re walking
in what God has done for them and their
faith is just a positive response to
what they believe God has already done
most most people are trying to use Faith
to gain a positive response all your
faith does is reach out and appropriate
what God has already provided if he
hasn’t already provided it then your
faith won’t make him do it your faith
doesn’t make God do anything God has
anticipated every need that you will
ever have whether it’s physical
Financial emotional any need that you
will ever have God has already made the
pro vision and you are not going to have
to get God to do something you need to
enter into a rest where you believe he’s
already done it and you just reach out
and appropriate what God has already
provided by
