Grace That Saves Not Assists Testing Ladder Spirituality
Update: 2025-10-21
Description
In this Reformation Month episode, Dave Jenkins exposes a subtle counterfeit gospel many Christians live by without realizing it: "God helps those who help themselves." Scripture teaches something far better—grace that saves, not assists. We'll uncover the false ladders of decisionalism, elitism, and self-improvement spirituality, and return to the biblical truth of sola gratia—that God raises the dead, grants faith, and keeps His people to the end. In This Episode • The hidden creed of "God helps those who help themselves" • Why grace doesn't meet us halfway—it makes us alive • The counterfeits: decisionalism, elitism, self-improvement gospel • Sola Gratia explained: regeneration, faith as gift, grace that keeps • Practical tools to reframe your testimony ("God did…") • Living in humility, assurance, and gratitude Key Texts: Ephesians 2:1–10 • Titus 3:3-7 • John 6:37-40 ________________________________________ Takeaway: Grace doesn't boost climbers—it raises the dead and keeps them. 📩 Subscribe to Contending for the Word on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube at: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-podcast/
