Faith and Works Pt. 2

In this teaching, Derek Prince emphasises the critical need for clear thinking about the nature of grace, which he defines as the beauty and comeliness that God imparts to believers. He highlights that grace cannot be earned through works, referencing Romans 11:6, which states, "If by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise, grace is no longer grace." This foundational truth serves to humble believers, reminding them that salvation is a gift from God, not a result of personal merit, and warns against the pride that can arise from misunderstanding this principle.

Prince further explores the relationship between faith and works, asserting that righteousness before God cannot be achieved through adherence to the law, as stated in Romans 3:20: "Therefore, by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight." He explains that the law serves to reveal sin but cannot provide a solution, which is only found in grace. By contrasting the law and grace, he asserts that one cannot be under both simultaneously, as indicated in Romans 6:14, where it states, "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." This teaching challenges listeners to rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit rather than a set of rules, illustrating this with a parable about a young man who must choose between following a map or a personal guide.
