Title: The God of Your Imagination — Part 2
Episode Focus: Confession, Repentance, Grace, and the Danger of Habitual Sin

Episode Description
In this powerful and truth-centered episode, we continue the conversation on The God of Your Imagination by confronting a popular cultural message that sounds gracious—but falls short biblically. What happens when confession is reduced to words without repentance? Have we imagined a God who forgives without transforming?

Using Scripture, biblical definitions, and real-life examples, this episode challenges the idea that grace gives permission to live however we want. Instead, we explore God’s true design for confession, repentance, holiness, and spiritual growth.

Key Topics Covered

• A real-life radio broadcast example that raises serious theological questions
• Why God’s mercy is not the issue—our understanding of repentance is
• The biblical definition of confession (1 John 1:9
  • The true meaning of repentance (metanoia)—a change of mind, heart, and direction
  • The inseparable connection between confession and repentance
  • The Prodigal Son as a model of genuine repentance (Luke 15:11–32)
  • What Scripture teaches about habitual sin
  • Why grace is not a license to continue in sin (Romans 6:1–2)
  • Biblical warnings about ongoing, willful sin (Hebrews 10:26)
  • Spiritual consequences of habitual sin:
    • Hardened hearts (Ephesians 4:18)
    • Broken fellowship with God (1 John 1:6)
    • Loving discipline from God (Hebrews 12:6)
  • A biblical response to hyper-grace theology
  
  How grace both saves and trains us to live holy lives (Titus 2:11–12)
• Big Takeaway
  God’s grace is a gift—but it is not permission to live in sin. True confession leads to repentance, and true repentance leads to transformation. The God of Scripture corrects, disciplines, and restores His children because He loves them. When we exchange biblical truth for a god of our own imagination, we cheapen grace and miss the power of a changed life.
  • Reflection Question
    Have you embraced God’s grace as a license—or as a lifeline that leads you toward holiness?
  • Call to Action
    Take time this week to examine your heart. Ask God not only to forgive, but to transform you. Strive against sin, seek accountability, and allow God’s grace to shape the way you live.
