How does the grace of God affect a believer's view of obligations to the church?
Answered in 1 source
The grace of God transforms obligations into privileges, allowing believers to serve joyfully rather than out of duty.
The grace of God fundamentally changes how believers perceive their responsibilities within the church. Rather than viewing attendance, worship, and service as obligatory tasks tied to rights or rewards, the believer sees these as joyful privileges. As described in the sermon, believers are invited to come into the presence of God not because they must, but because they desire to experience His beauty and grace. This transformation occurs because of the mercy God has shown, allowing us to delight in serving Him. This heart change is necessary to combat the doctrine of demons that insists on living by law and obligation instead of joyfully embracing grace.
