073. Love Like Jesus
Jan 10, 2026
Waking up to Grace

We challenge performance-driven faith and show how Jesus’ words to the healed man in John 5 point to a life of belief and dependence, not fear and striving. We walk through abiding in Christ, the end of wrath for believers, and how love fulfills the law when it flows from the vine.

• John 5 and the healed man as a picture of grace 
• “Sin no more” reframed as continuing belief 
• Abiding in Christ versus self-effort and metrics 
• Propitiation and the end of wrath for believers 
• Love as Christ’s life in us, not a standard 
• Exposing standards-based discipleship and hypocrisy 
• Depend like Jesus: the Son does nothing alone 
• Narrow gate faith in a world of sight 
• Practical steps to pray, abide, and trust
