KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:

Any “goodness” in God’s eyes comes from the obedience that comes from faith alone!

The Bible is filled with two aspects: how a person is saved & how salvation is assured.

If you’re not reading your Bible IN CONTEXT, you aren’t reading your Bible properly and therefore are immediately prone to misinterpretation, using your human intuition and/or fleshly desires to interpret the mind of Christ (very bad).

We are not to hyper-focus on aspects of the Bible in a vacuum, where the context of God’s good INTENTION is lost!

Don’t get hung up on being “intelligent”. It’s much better to be wise.

No sacrifice, besides Christ’s, has ever satisfied God’s wrath against sin. Jewish rituals and sacrifices were commanded by God as a show of faith (through obedience) and a recurring reminder of their sin before the Holy God of the Universe; hence, their persistent consciousness of sin.
