Religion or Relationship – Part 4
Summary
Joyce Meyer challenges listeners to believe God’s Word over their feelings, emphasizing that believers are justified, redeemed, and holy in Christ. She distinguishes between guilt and shame, urging viewers to reject past abuse and self-blame to walk in spiritual authority. Meyer teaches that living under the law leads to disappointment, while grace and forgiveness free us from condemnation. She encourages embracing identity in Christ, forgiving others, and trusting that God’s power works through obedience and belief.
