If you're a Christian, you already have a desire to please God, which explains why you're miserable when you don't.

Dr. Tony Evans talks about our connection to God through Christ.

Grace functions by relationship, not by rules.

In other words, you keep the rules because you have the relationship.

You don't keep the rules to get the relationship.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

It wasn't that long ago when television moved from standard definition to HD, 4K, and even better, bringing with it a clarity, depth, and detail that the old video system only

hinted at. Well, today, Dr. Evan shows us how God introduced a vibrant living promise to us through

Jesus, the expression and fulfillment of a new covenant that transformed old rules into a new

relationship and worn out rituals into real renewal.

Let's join him as he explains.

You are in your Christian life, I am, we are, always going forward or going back, but you're never standing still.

Sometimes Christians say, well, but I'm not doing this,

okay? That's only one side of the equation. The other side is what are you doing to grow and to

keep going? Because if you're just stagnant, if you're just standing still, like a person not doing

anything in the water, the water itself will move you. And so it is,

he wants them to keep going. He wants them to press on to maturity. We saw that in chapter six.

And then we saw last time in chapter seven about this great priest that we have after the order of

Mount Kesseneck, the priest that very few people know about, yet it is, he is the key figure

of which Jesus Christ is the continuation. These Jewish believers were going back to the

Levittical priesthood, the ironic priesthood.

He says, that's the wrong deal.
