Honoring Those People | Grace On Repeat 2 | Pastor Keith Indovino

Is it easy for you to honor people who are not like you? We all have preferences and opinions. When we apply our personal choices to other believers in Christ, we create a space for pride and fear to develop. Attaching anything to the gospel of grace nullifies the work of Christ! The Apostle Peter allowed fear of others to drive him to change the gospel message. Paul confronted Peter’s racism and bigotry through gospel motivation. When we believe that we are justified by faith in the perfect work of Christ, all potential for superiority is broken down. Christians aren’t called to tolerate one another; we are called to honor other believers. We may be different, but that doesn’t mean that any of us is better than the other. Small Groups are essential because they provide the environment for us to live out the gospel of grace with other people.
