Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast.

Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

All right, so we're in the second message in our series called Grace Period.

And the book releases April 2nd.

You can pre-ordered if you want.

But my burden is that we are not saved by grace and we are not saved by grace plus

we're not saved by grace but we're saved by grace, but we're saved by grace, period.

And I did share two weeks ago when I began the series

that I don't mean to leave out faith

because the Bible says we're saved by grace through faith.

So we must believe, we must receive.

And it does matter how you live.

But as far as your salvation, you need to know that when you believe

and when you receive Jesus, it is completely and totally by God's grace. So two weeks ago when I began the title of the message, if you didn't get to hear

it, please go back and listen, but I entitled it right-standing, right-standing. In other words, we are

in right-standing with God, which is what the word righteousness means.

So this week, it's a little strange, but you'll see how I'll bring it around.

The title of the message is Right Husband. is right husband. So you do know that you when you accept Jesus you are now married to Christ. Just a few scriptures, Isaiah 62-5, as the

bride group Jesus rejoices over the bride, the church, so shall your God rejoice over you.

Jeremiah 314, Returnal Backsliding Children, says the Lord, for I am married to you and then revelation 2.9 come I will show you the bride the

lambs wife Here's the problem. Many believers walk in rules and rituals and

regulations and not in relationship.
