(31:33)

You are often told that if you follow the checklist of approved behaviors and prohibitions articulated by the speaker, then you will be right with God, and therefore, saved. This is wrong on two counts. First, God saves sinners by grace, not by their works. Second, the call to righteousness for the Christian is not a checklist, but a disposition and direction guided by God’s Word, formed by the Holy Spirit in our hearts, which Jesus summarizes with one word, love.
