Insight for LivingBen Connelly’s passion is to help us live in the freedom and power of the gospel; to help us avoid the trap of falling into try-harder, I’ve gotta earn it Christianity. Ben is a pastor, author, equipper, and occasional professor and his book that just dropped in September is Reading the Bible, Missing the Gospel.
First, Ben’s parents were super involved in church but didn’t know Jesus. Ben was a youth pastor and didn’t know Jesus. So he intimately knows how easy it is to miss the gospel. Then, religion says “You have to somehow keep earning forgiveness.” The gospel says, “You’re forgiven, you can’t earn it, and when you blow it, don’t be afraid, bring your failures to the One who’s already forgiven you!”
Next, grace gives us the want to live for God, the power to live for God. Because when we sin, we can always come to the One who picks us up, cleans us off, and says, “I believe you will become just like me.” Last, how the bible is not all about us but all about God. And how that takes all the pressure off!
