KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:
An unbeliever’s version of grace is rooted in self-actualization/ autonomy with an ROI that deposits credit to the creature’s account. This is the root cause of their misery, insecurity, and anxiety. At some point, they fail themselves (and others) and realize they are powerless to fix what has broken inside of themselves.
A mindset is something that must be built from the ground up. We must “be transformed by the renewal of [our minds]” (Ro 12:2). As we are sanctified, we become more like Christ (2Co 3:18). Our job is to rely wholly on God’s grace (no manmade substitutes).
Patience is indicative of a grace-mindset.
Never ruin the blessing of hope by imposing manmade timelines on God’s divine promises.
Being present is a function of a grace-mindset.
