But we also sometimes believe that God's grace is so great that how we live also sort of does not really matter. Afterall, surely God will forgive! Isn't that his "job"? We may think that right living is not a bad idea but it is ultimately not necessary. Grace covers all, doesn't it? Psalm 15 challenges our view of grace and highlights that while salvation is unequivocally in Christ, those who are in Christ also ought to grow in their desire to walk in righteousness. What does that look...2023-01-3119 minSaturated in ScriptureEp 4 - Two Different Gods (Psalm 11)"I prefer the God of the New Testament over the God of the Old Testament."
