Leaving the 99: Forsaking Religion for the Treasure of Heaven
For too long most popular Christian teaching has focused on either God's kindness or God's severity ... when The Lord is in fact both! “Note then the kindness and the severity of God” (Romans 11:22).
This focus on one extreme attribute of God at the expense of the other has brought into the church deceptiveness in the form of legalism (rules, performance based works, tradition, religiosity, and self-righteousness) and false gracism (all are saved, The Lord does everything for us without our participation, no obedience to The Lord is necessary, no judgment, no devil, no hell, no return of Christ, et cetera).
Yet, in this new season, teaching will come from the middle place that honors both extreme attributes of God – His kindness and His severity.
In that new balanced ground of doctrinal teaching, the double portion inheritance will come to the forefront. From the place of deep surrender to The Lord, the “inheritance rights of the first born” will bring great supernatural riches and our full inheritance in covenant with Christ.
