A couple weeks ago at team, before the futsal game and the barbecue, i talked about "Christian freedom"- which is really another way of saying the Christian theological idea of "grace"

I presented a couple sayings:

"There is nothing you can do to make God love you more, there is nothing you can do to make God love you less"

"There is nothing a Christian MUST do, and nothing a Christian CAN'T do.... but there are many things which will give a Christian life, or undermine their life"

If you read Romans chapter 5:12 to Romans 6:5 I think you will see the following statement clearly grounded in the text:

"People don't go to heaven because of what THEY do, but because of what CHRIST did. Likewise, people don't go to hell because of what THEY do, but because of what ADAM did." (If you don't believe me, read that text in Romans!)

I would like you guys to post a comment of some kind on this idea- the idea of Christian freedom/grace. Are you comfortable with it? Uncomfortable with it? What makes it hard to believe? Or is it easy to believe for you? What would it mean in your life? If this is true, what kind of fruit would that bring? If this is not true what kind of fruit would that bring? What other things in the Bible would support or possibly contradict that teaching? I won't put a length limit, but please post something. This is a very important idea to at least consider, because if it is true that would make serious changes in the way we view our selves, our actions, our lives, and if it is not true, we also must them try really seriously to figure out what we WOULD have to do to reach God.

So this is the first team Homework- just a simple blog post :)

(Please put your name, or if you don't want everyone in the team to know that YOU wrote something, please tell me afterwards discretely which post is yours, so I can give you credit for that)

Thanks
