Isaac Pitre: Living in the Glory Realm that Flows with Grace & Truth (John 1:14)
Isaac speaks at Pathway of Life Church, in Dallas, TX, on 9/4/2022. Quotes: “Grace removes condemnation, but it does not remove consequences. Grace is not giving me the ability to keep doing what I was doing; grace is giving me the ability to not do it again. Just because God forgives you, don't you play with God's mercy. Jesus might not be there the next time to stop the consequence from kicking in. You say, “Pastor, does somebody go to hell for drinking?” No! But let me tell you what hell you might get into by drinking.

So give me seven minutes to unpack this
and then I'll let you go.
The Bible declares that Jesus,
in John 1:14 the Bible says,
And the word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we be held the glory as of the only be God
another father full of grace and truth.”
Jesus was the perfect example of grace and truth.
Which means they both go together.
They don't eliminate one another,
they complement one another. Grace and truth.
Grace doesn't remove truth, and truth doesn't remove grace.
It takes grace and truth.
So to say, I can do what I want to do by grace
doesn't eliminate the fact that I can't do
what I want to do because of truth.
Because if you really understand grace
grace is the ability to give you the right to do the truth.
Let me show it to you in the Bible.
It is capsulized the best in this woman caught in adultery.
I love this because it is a theological masterpiece
of how you deal with the law in grace and grace
in truth and grace in Lasciviousness,
it is a masterpiece.
This woman is caught in the very act of adultery.
So they grab her out to stone her
because they said the law said, the law said, the law said
if you are caught in adultery, you have to be stoned.
And so they brought her to Jesus right there
when they were getting to stoning.
And they begin to ask him,
What do we do with this woman?
Because the law said stone, her stone, her stone her.
Yes, she's done wrong.
She's been caught in the wrong
and justice demands a condemnation
and a judgment on her sin. Stone her!
And Jesus looks at him
and you know he's writing on the ground.
And to fast forward, he says these words.
Go ahead, stone her... He...
The first one of you who has no sin worthy
of such condemnation yourself,
go ahead and throw it.
And I don't know what he wrote, but whatever he
wrote made them, put their rocks down, drop them.
Because what you used to be stoned by under the law
you get released by under grace. (applause)
Because he didn't come
into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved.
And he's ushering in this new covenant of grace.
And so they drop their rocks
and they walk away
because they're not worthy to judge this woman in sin.
And because Jesus is there,
grace stepped in and said,
"What you used to be stoned for now you can be forgiven of."
And the woman is crying and shaking,
and she walks up to Jesus,
and I'm paraphrasing.
She's like, Can't believe that this... I'm alive
I'm so happy.
Jesus says, "Well, it ain't that simple."
He says, "Where are your accusers?"
She said, "There's no one here to accuse me."
Jesus says, "Then now go your way
And don't do it again."
Which means grace is not giving me the ability to
keep doing what I was doing.
Grace is giving me the ability to not do it again. (applause)
Which means just because God forgives you,
don't you play with God's mercy.
Because Jesus might not be there the next time to
stop the consequence from kicking in.
And this is why you've got to make sure
in your life and my life,
we do whatever it takes to get sin out of us.
Because we are now reached a point in the church
where sin is glorified. The more carnal you are,
the more relatable you are.
And it's almost like you got to be carnal
in order to be relatable.
But if I got to relate with you by drinking with you
I'm just not going to be relatable.
Oh, you all don't hear what I'm saying.
You say, Pastor, does somebody go to hell for drinking?
No. No, no, no, no, no.
You don't go to hell for drinking.
But let me tell you what hell you might get into by drinking.
I don't have a problem with it.
Do it. Do it
If you are fine with it, do it. Do it. Do it.
Go ahead.
Do it. Do it.
Grace will afford you the ability to do it.
Go ahead and do it
because the Bible is really not against drinking.
The Bible is against drunkenness.
But I never met anybody drunk that didn't drink.
Which means you got to be careful about getting
into things that can turn into addictions and
that can turn into vices.
