Welcome to Gospel Truth with Andrew Wamman, a teaching ministry emphasizing God's unconditional love and grace.

The special life teaching on the power of the cross is being broadcast

exclusively for our radio listeners. And now here's Andrew. The issue isn't people's individual sins, which again the whole church is primarily, the whole

focus of Christians is on sin, and how do I overcome this sin because sin is all of my problem.

Well I'm not saying that we just go live in sin because sin still opens up a door to

the devil and give Satan an inroad into your life. So there is benefit to living a holy life and

rejecting sin. But you would wind up living holier accidentally than you ever have on purpose

before if we quit focusing on sin and instead focused on

that we have been made the righteousness of God and if we were focused on what he's

done for us it would cause so much love and gratitude in our heart that we would live

wholly as a byproduct and not a way to relationship with God. Look in Romans chapter 10 at this passage of scripture.

In Romans chapter 10,

and in verse 4 it says for Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. Christ is the end of the law. It's finished. Christ is the end of the law.

It's finished.

The law for the purpose of righteousness is finished.

It's over.

Our mentality, our bondage,

Paul said this in Galatians chapter 5, verse 1,

you know, stand fast, therefore in the liberty where with Christ has made us free

and be not entangled again with the yoke of

bondage. That's talking about the Old Testament law. And yet it's sad, it's sad to me how Christians

are so bound by a performance mentality in judging themselves and judging others based on their performance.
