Thank you for this. William live rating has been some of the most impactful and important things I’ve ever read. I grew up in a very conservative, evangelical framework, and the mystical experiences I had on my own, not conducive to the type of Christianity that I was being taught. William Law was the first one I came across who explained God in a way that did not conflict with my own experience of God.
Thank you. It gives me a great pleasure to listen to people like you. The people who actually know God and has his spirit. No theology can figure God out...only the people who actually have his spirit can begin to understand who he really is..
I am so happy that I have run across this delightful and very descriptive video. Thank you very much, Alan Gregory, for presenting this, something I may have never heard of unless I happened to run across it tonight. I too am a universalist, and it has put me at odds with my spiritual kinsmen, who share the view that we are to work in the manner in which you have described, but who nevertheless retain some of the old Calvinism that affects so much of modern Christianity.
Excellent video. What he says about the importance of works around the 11:00 point strikes me as the clear teaching of Scripture which Paul was keen on emphasizing.
Absolutely correct. We do not sit back and wait for the full redemption to take place as if God waved some kind of wand over His creation as if to say, "There, see? You had nothing to do, because I did it all." Well, in one sense, He did do it all, but in another very real sense, one that matters to us personally down here where our feet touch the ground, we are to be partakers of the Divine Nature by becoming CO-WORKERS with Christ. Not at all meaning that we are "earning" our salvation, but rather that we are building something together with Christ and one another, for His benefit, for one another's benefit, and for His Kingdom's benefit. We are working and building because we are commanded to -- we are exhorted to. Read all the exhortations in the Gospels and the Epistles. Read and take to heart what the Lord Jesus commanded, instructed, exhorted, admonished us to DO. We do NOT have NOTHING to do, as some of the Evangelicals suggest. He said, among many other things, to "take My yoke upon you." And whatever we do, and do heartily as unto the Lord, will have far reaching effects we cannot imagine, when all those "sheep" who were lost will be found again in the ages to come. Ephesians 2:7.
@@williamoarlock8634 Serious question, what does that mean? I tried googling it but I could not find an answer. I heard Gordon Ramsey use it a few times but even in context it doesn’t make much sense to me yet. Thanks in advance!

Great video! Such words of Grace from Law!
Fantastic!

Except 'what the Lord Jesus commanded' is an impossible fantasy. What 'yoke' when this Jesus idol is having eternal bliss with 'the father in heaven'?
More Christian tautology.
We love you too brother! Good to see you again 😊 I pray you keep sticking around and being as devout as you are about Christian theology!
