The modern gospel asks a man to trust what Christ did by His death on the cross for his salvation as opposed to his own works, but stops there, leaving him exactly as he was. Scripture says otherwise: if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new. This is believed in theory while leaving no evidence in reality, leaving many deceived about the validity of their salvation.
Gerry G. Register preaches the gospel as the power of God unto salvation, and explains what that power is for and what it does in us. Salvation is God's work from first to last. He takes out the heart of stone and gives a heart of flesh. He works in the believer both to will and to do of His good pleasure. God has made Christ unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption.
The faith God gives is not intellectual assent. It is effectual. It changes a man, and remains in us a powerful principle and force that motivates us to action toward God's will.
God has not changed. He is holy, He does not wink at sin, and His expectation is still righteousness. But the gospel of our day treats sincere assent as sufficient and holds out the transformed life as an optional "deeper life" for the especially committed, rather than the ordinary evidence of conversion. So a man may keep his secret sins and believe himself saved. This "deeper life" is never accomplished by the unregenerate. Man's enmity toward God prevents it.
These sermons are Holy Spirit led and grounded in the Scriptures alone. New messages added as they are preached.
