Gospel according to pietism says you are saved by grace alone through Christ alone.

Now you better make sure that is true by your performance.

That's a great definition of pietism.

The gospel according to Jesus, I'm the one who saved you.

I lose none.

Now rest in my power to save and spread the light of the kingdom. Right. So the good news

is secured. And then from that, Jesus says, here's what I want you to do. My burden is light. My yoke is

easy. So it's the outflow of it. I'll just, I'll start with this as well. It's kind of a ground

of where we're arguing from, and then we're going to

compare this to history and what's kind of going on in history. But John 3 is a great example.

What must I do to enter the kingdom of heaven? Like what must I do, right? And Jesus tells Nicodemus,

well, you have to be born again, which means you can't born yourself again. It's a beautiful illustration from Jesus. I mean, obviously, it's from God.

You have to receive that life. That's right. And he's like, well, how am I reinter into it?

He goes, no, no, you don't understand. You have to receive it from the spirit. Exactly. Right.

So it's important that we get the flow and the order correctly because if you don't you're going to credit your

salvation to your obedience and this is why people say well no no i'm always crediting it

jesus no if you have to look to your performance then you are crediting your

salvation to your obedience we are not antinonomians. Okay. So hear us clearly.

Those who have been justified will be sanctified. It is a part of the new covenant promise, right?

Those whom have received the love of God will give the love of God. That is a promise. But it is not the means or the ground of your justification.

It's not the cause of anything. That's right. It can't. It's right. Welcome to Theocast,
