Transformed By Grace

The Apostle Paul tells us that Christ made known the mystery to him, and then he made this good news known to others. Understanding the mystery, or previously hidden truth, is the key to understanding your Bible. We learn in this lesson that the mystery includes the gospel of grace, the formation of the Body of Christ, and Christ’s heavenly ministry as Head of the Church. Understanding this revelation distinguishes God’s prophetic plan for Israel from His mystery program for the Church. With the mystery now revealed, the Church is commissioned to make it known so all can see God’s grace and be transformed by it. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/146-mystery/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/di0pVNJHrcw Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-101-150/?attribute_pa_episode=146-key-words-of-our-faith-part-6-the-mystery Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-key-words-of-our-faith/

Faith, the Apostle Paul explains, is simply taking God at His Word—trusting that what He promises, He performs. We are reminded in this teaching that Abraham was justified not by works but by believing God, and in the same way our faith in Christ’s death and resurrection is counted for righteousness apart from any human effort. True faith rests in God’s power to give life to the dead and to save the ungodly purely by grace. Because of Christ’s finished work, all who believe are fully secure in Him and transformed as they continue to walk by faith. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/145-faith/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2l7yxcA-Apc Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-101-150/?attribute_pa_episode=145-key-words-of-our-faith-part-5-faith Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-key-words-of-our-faith/

Redemption, as this episode shows, means that Christ entered the slave market of sin, paid the full ransom with His own blood, and set us free forever. Scripture demonstrates through several terms that He not only bought us but removed us from bondage entirely, carrying us far away from our former slavery. Just as Israel was redeemed from Egypt by blood and God’s power, believers today are redeemed from sin’s chains and forgiven all trespasses through Christ’s sacrifice. Since we have been bought with a price, we are called to glorify Him with grateful, transformed lives. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/144-redemption/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DqpCR8OyoyQ Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-101-150/?attribute_pa_episode=144-key-words-of-our-faith-part-4-redemption Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-key-words-of-our-faith/

Glorification is the goal of God’s salvation and is about our eternal hope in Christ. We learn in this message that glorification is the final stage of salvation, when believers are freed from the very presence of sin and receive resurrected, glorified bodies that perfectly reflect Christ’s glory. The Apostle Paul teaches that present sufferings are insignificant compared to the glory to be revealed. The Holy Spirit within us guarantees our future glorification and enables us to wait with patient, confident hope for what God has promised. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/143-glorification/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PL_7rFYITfQ Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-101-150/?attribute_pa_episode=143-key-words-of-our-faith-part-3-glorification Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-key-words-of-our-faith/

This study explores the Apostle Paul’s teaching in Romans 6, where he talks about change for the believer, and the different path we can take for our lives so that we no longer walk in sin. Sanctification is the lifelong process in which believers, already united with Christ in His death and resurrection, learn to live out the freedom from sin that God has already given them. Paul instructs that through our union with Christ, we have been given real power to resist sin’s rule and walk in newness of life, as His grace transforms our daily choices and makes our bodies instruments of righteousness rather than tools of sin. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/142-sanctification/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/CKUZjwwRu8A Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-101-150/?attribute_pa_episode=142-key-words-of-our-faith-part-2-sanctification Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-key-words-of-our-faith/
