Grace Bible Archives - Ryan Rufus

Paul makes some of his most wildest statements ever in this chapter! Including that natural decedents of Abraham are not the heirs of the promised blessing, but only those who are in Christ! What this actually means becomes evidently clear as we progress through this chapter verse by verse. There are some keys within the chapter that really help to unlock the truth and revelation that is hiding in plain site and yet is veiled to most people. CAN YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT CHAPTER 3: What exactly is the promised blessing of Abraham? What does "All nations will be blessed through you" really mean? Are believers still under the law of God? Did the law covenant change God's promise to Abraham? Who are the offspring of Abraham? Is the New Covenant made between God and man? Are there any special privileges for being Jewish? Can the Gentiles become children of Abraham? Is salvation by grace and some works? What do you think are the most key verses in chapter 3?

Paul confronts Peter, one of the greatest apostles, to his face. But why? In this verse by verse study of Galatians 2, I unpack how Paul fought to preserve the pure Gospel of grace against legalism, peer pressure, and religious hypocrisy - and why we still need to do this today. You’ll see why we are justified by faith alone and NEVER by works of the law, what it means to be crucified with Christ in Galatians 2:20, and what it looks like to nullify the grace of God.

Paul was astonished that the Galatians were leaving grace for a different gospel. Could the same thing be happening today? In this verse-by-verse study of Galatians chapter 1, we walk through Paul's opening words: his apostleship, his greeting of grace and peace, his sharp warning about "another gospel", and why the pure gospel of grace can never be mixed with works. We also unpack James 2 ("faith without works is dead") and show how it fits with salvation by grace through faith alone. 📖 Chapters: 0:00 Galatians 1:1 – Paul, an Apostle Sent by Jesus, Not Men 4:14 Galatians 1:2 – Paul's Team and the Churches of Galatia 5:45 Galatians 1:3 – Grace and Peace to You 7:42 Galatians 1:4 – Jesus Gave Himself for Our Sins 8:49 Galatians 1:5 – All Glory to God Forever 11:05 Galatians 1:6 – Astonished: Deserting Grace for Another Gospel 12:53 Galatians 1:7 – Troublemakers Distorting the Gospel 15:40 Galatians 1:8 – Even an Angel: Let Him Be Accursed 17:23 Galatians 1:9 – The Warning Repeated 18:01 Galatians 1:10 – Pleasing God, Not People 21:40 Galatians 1:11 – The Gospel Is Not Man's Gospel 22:53 Galatians 1:12 – Received by Revelation of Jesus Christ 28:27 Galatians 1:13 – Paul's Former Life Persecuting the Church 30:03 Galatians 1:14 – Advancing in Judaism, Zealous for Tradition 31:19 Galatians 1:15-16 – Set Apart by Grace to Preach to the Gentiles 33:44 Galatians 1:17 – Arabia and Damascus: No Man Taught Paul 34:28 Galatians 1:18 – Three Years Later: Meeting Cephas (Peter) 34:39 Galatians 1:19 – Meeting James, the Lord's Brother 34:47 Galatians 1:20 – "I Do Not Lie" 37:18 Galatians 1:21 – Syria and Cilicia 39:02 Galatians 1:22 – Unknown to the Churches of Judea 39:11 Galatians 1:23 – The Persecutor Now Preaches the Faith 39:20 Galatians 1:24 – They Glorified God Because of Me 42:37 James 2 Explained: Faith Without Works Is Dead 49:41 Up Next: Galatians 2 and Paul Confronts Peter 🔑 You'll learn: - Why there is only one true gospel - How to test any teaching against the New Covenant - What it means to be a servant of Christ, not a people-pleaser - How Paul's own story shows the power of grace 💬 Have you ever been tempted to add works to grace?

Do you ever feel like you have to "work up" more faith? What if faith was never meant to be a struggle? In this episode we unpack what the Bible says about the nature of faith: how faith comes, why it isn't a work of the flesh, how condemnation and unbelief can get in the way and why faith can ONLY be understood through grace. What you'll learn: - Why faith comes by hearing, not by striving - The difference between grace and works-based faith - How to be free from condemnation (Romans 8:1) - What "good soil" means for a heart of faith - Why faith is rest, not effort - How to see miracles in your life 📖 In this teaching: 0:00 What Is Faith?

What does it actually mean to walk in the spirit? Most Christians have heard the phrase, but few can explain it biblically — and even fewer are living it. In this teaching, I break down walking in the spirit into three simple, life-changing keys: walking in the SPIRIT covenant (grace not law), from your reborn SPIRIT (not your body or mind), and in fellowship with the Holy SPIRIT. This is "Walking in the Spirit". If you're tired of striving, failing, and feeling condemned in your walk with God, this video will show you a completely different way — one rooted in grace, not performance. Get ready to see your identity in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit in a whole new light. CHAPTERS: 0:00 – What Does It Mean to Walk in the Spirit?

NEW NATURE PODCAST #4 with Ryan Rufus and Rob Rufus: Is EVERYONE going to be saved no matter what they believe? In this episode, we tackle universalism head-on and show why this popular but dangerous doctrine doesn't hold up to Scripture. We walk through the key Bible verses universalists lean on (Romans 5:18, 1 Cor 15:22, Romans 11:32, 2 Cor 5:19) and break down why justification by faith — not automatic salvation — is what the Bible actually teaches. We also get real about why so many Christians drift into these doctrines in the first place: unhealed church hurt, offense, and bitterness. If you've ever wrestled with this question or been hurt by church, this one's for you. Chapters: 0:00 – Universalism Explained: Is Everyone Saved? 5:54 – John 3:16 & 3:36 – Belief in Christ for Salvation 13:53 – 2 Corinthians 5:19 – Does Reconciliation Mean Everyone's Saved? 21:29 – Romans 10:9-15 – Confess & Believe to Be Saved 32:23 – Romans 3:19-30 – Justification by Faith Explained 36:08 – True Universalism: Adam's Death vs. Christ's Life (Romans 5) 43:51 – Debunking Universalist Verses (1 Corinthians 15, Romans 11) 49:49 – Why False Doctrines Spread: Church Hurt & Offense 1:06:13 – Healing From Church Hurt & Reconnecting With Community 1:10:28 – What Is Spiritual Baptism Into Christ? 1:18:40 – Are Mega Churches Biblical? Church Growth in Acts Where do you personally land on this issue — have you ever been tempted toward universalism, or do you know someone who believes it?

This is a BALANCED view of the Gospel of Grace and why it's NOT dangerous. People falsely accuse me of teaching "HYPER GRACE" and think that I've gone too far because I believe in total forgiveness, the gift of righteousness, eternal security, freedom from the law, freedom from the sinful nature and open access to God no matter what. The problem is these people haven't gone far enough. They are "HYPO GRACE!" In this video I completely DESTROY and EVISCERATE all of their weak accusations against the Gospel of Grace and show it's not hyper grace or greasy grace, it's just biblical grace and it's better than you realise! It's the only Gospel. There is no other alternative. HYPO GRACE is not innocent! It's toxic, religious and weak and will actually empower your flesh, not your reborn spirit. True grace leads to intimacy with Jesus, victory over sin and walking in the power of God. I break down why total forgiveness, the gift of righteousness and eternal security are not dangerous doctrines — they're the New Testament Gospel Paul the Apostle preached. I talk about what true repentance and obedience to God looks like through the lens of grace. That the New Covenant motivations are love, faith, hope, the new nature and the Holy Spirit - NOT fear, guilt, threat, condemnation, shame and manipulation. How walking in the Spirit and living from your new nature is far more superior than Law and threats. This is for all Christians worldwide. Especially those who a done with religion, legalism, performance driven Christianity, abusive churches and leaders, an unhealthy over emphasis on repentance, obedience, sin consciousness and holiness. This video is also for those who are wanting to defend the Gospel of Grace and destroy all the false accusations and arguments. If you're ready to get totally religious free and empowered by the glorious grace of God then this video is for you! 🔑 Topics covered: - What "hyper grace" actually means (and why the label is misleading) - The gift of righteousness vs. works-based religion - New creation identity: who you are in Christ - Once-for-all forgiveness and the finished work of the cross - New covenant repentance vs. old covenant repentance - Eternal security: can you lose your salvation? - Freedom from addiction through understanding your new nature CHAPTERS: 0:00 Is Grace Dangerous? Understanding the Hyper Grace Accusation 9:33 Hypograce vs Hyper Grace: The Finished Work of Christ 14:26 New Creation in Christ: Holiness as a Gift, Not a Work 25:21 Co-Heirs with Christ: New Nature and Victory Over Sin 40:19 Once for All Forgiveness: Jesus Seated on the Throne 1:03:56 Can You Lose Your Salvation?

In this episode, we dive deep into the biblical basis for Holy Spirit joy — from the Day of Pentecost outpouring in Acts 2, to personal testimonies of being filled with the Spirit and experiencing supernatural joy. We share powerful stories including a miraculous typhoon-diverting prayer in Hong Kong, an underground church revival in China, and a personal testimony of encountering the Holy Spirit at age 14. You'll learn what Scripture really says about joy of the Holy Spirit, fullness of joy, exceeding joy, and joy inexpressible — and how this "holy laughter" move of God is still for the church today. If you've ever wondered whether the joy of the Lord, being slain in the Spirit, or speaking in tongues is biblical, this episode unpacks it all through the lens of grace. Chapters: 0:00 – Introduction: The Joy of the Holy Spirit & Why God Wants a Happy Church 4:31 – Biblical Foundation: Acts 2 Outpouring and "The Joy of the Lord is Our Strength" 13:46 – Testimony: The Hong Kong Typhoon Miracle and the Power of Submission to God 32:30 – Underground Church Revival in China: Signs, Wonders & Holy Spirit Outpouring 45:42 – Scriptures on Joy of the Holy Spirit: Fullness of Joy, Exceeding Joy & Joy Inexpressible 1:10:10 – Personal Testimony: Getting Filled with the Holy Spirit and Slain in the Spirit at Age 14 1:26:07 – Speaking in Tongues Explained: Praying in the Spirit and the Gift of Tongues 🔔 Subscribe for more teachings on grace, the Holy Spirit, and the supernatural Christian life. 🌐 Visit robrufusministries.com and newnatureministries.org for more resources, books, and teachings.
