Faith, Sin, and Living in Christ: Rethinking Old Ideas in a New Creation
In this episode of Talk with Shawn McCraney, Grady, Delaney, and Shawn dive into foundational topics surrounding sin, salvation, and living in a fulfilled age. They kick off with excitement about the upcoming TGNN Eschatology Conference and then address a voicemail from Kimberly, who asks two big questions: Are we still considered sinners today? And why did Yeshua feel forsaken on the cross?
Grady and Shawn explain that sin — once defined by the Mosaic Law — was conquered fully by Christ. Today, sin is better understood as moments where we fail to walk by faith and love, but it no longer separates us from God. Yeshua’s work ensures that we remain in relationship with God even when we falter. They emphasize that we aren’t called “sinners” anymore in this age of spiritual liberty — rather, we are called to trust and live by faith in Christ.
The conversation evolves into how focusing too much on rules or failure can pull us away from simply walking with God in Spirit and Truth. Grady introduces the powerful idea of a “regenesis” — a return to the freedom of the Garden of Eden, where individuals now freely choose faith and love without external mediators.
Throughout the show, the team and listeners in the chat discuss topics like the role of the Septuagint, Bible translation issues, why a fulfilled eschatology changes everything, and how real life and real growth come only through Christ. The episode closes with a beautiful call to freedom: Seek Yahava in Spirit and Truth, without fear, without condemnation — because in Christ, we are already free.
