In this episode of the M-Cray podcast, titled “Operating by Faith,” we focus on the powerful truth of John 3:16, which says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” God’s love and salvation extend to all, even those who have become entangled in movements that distort His truth. These movements often use symbols like the rainbow, originally a sign of God’s covenant with humanity in Genesis 9:13, and pervert His concept of love to justify actions contrary to His will. The episode emphasizes that no matter how far someone has strayed, God’s love and salvation are available to those who turn to Him in faith.
We delve into how some movements are designed to cause people to actively oppose God’s purposes, twisting His symbols to align with sinful practices. The rainbow, which was given as a symbol of God’s promise never to flood the earth again, has been misused to promote ideologies that contradict biblical teachings. But through faith and repentance, we can reclaim these symbols, knowing that God’s love is not a license to sin, but a call to redemption. His grace invites us to walk in the truth of His Word, turning from sin and receiving His gift of eternal life.
The episode encourages listeners to reflect on Romans 1:25, which speaks of those who “exchanged the truth of God for a lie,” and Isaiah 5:20, which warns, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.” By standing on the truth of the gospel and embracing the fullness of God’s love, we are empowered to live according to His will. The key is to receive this gift of salvation by faith, turning to Christ and walking in the freedom He provides, regardless of where we may have been before.
