This Gospel Can't Save You
May 11, 2025
Heed this one warning and go to Heaven.
In this sermon, Pastor Crystal Tullos outlines the fundamental principle of salvation being a free gift from God, rather than something earned through good works or moral achievements. Emphasizing the importance of grace over performance, the speaker discusses the pitfalls of works-based religions, including Freemasonry and extreme Hebrew Roots movements and even Christian churches that promote rules and rituals before relationship with God. The sermon cites Biblical passages like Ephesians 2:8-9 and Romans 11:6 that affirm salvation is by grace through faith alone. Warning labels are compared to religious teachings, stressing that any system requiring one to earn God's favor is deceptive and robs believers of an authentic relationship with God. True Christian teachings encourage a personal, grace-filled relationship with God, eschewing rituals and rules that impose spiritual bondage.
