David Wilkerson exposes the deadly doctrine of antinomianism—the false grace that says you can live like the devil and still claim Christ's righteousness—warning that saying "I believe" without surrendering your whole life is not saving faith but damning presumption.
Preached: February 18, 1996
Main Points:
Justification by faith is Christianity's foundational truth, but if you stop there and never forsake worldly corruptions, you're living in a fool's paradise. Christ died to deliver us from this present evil world, not excuse us in it.
The antinomian doctrine says, "I can murder like David, worship idols like Solomon, deny Christ like Peter, and never forfeit divine favor." This theology still infects Christianity today through false grace messages.
Many have said a sinner's prayer and gone home unsaved because they gave mental assent rather than saving faith. Demons believe and tremble, but they're still demons.
True saving faith begins when you quit all trust in yourself and come empty-handed, saying, "Lord, I've tried and failed. There's no hope in me. I have nothing to offer you."
Saving faith requires submitting your whole life with all your heart. If it's not a commitment to follow Jesus for life, it's not saving faith but a 30-day trial that ends in hell.
The strongest feature of saving faith is hunger for intimacy with God. If you won't pray, read God's Word, and have no desire to know him, you never had saving faith.
Christ didn't just die to get you to heaven. He died to deliver you from every roadblock of guilt, shame, and condemnation so you can have daily fellowship with the Father.
Many sit in church still smoking, drinking, and living unchanged, crying, "Grace! Grace!" while hiding behind false righteousness. You're blinder than any street addict who at least knows where they stand.
