And I believe that before God, He sees our hearts. He knows whether we’ve trusted Christ or not. And friends, He knows whether you’re genuine or not. And for that reason, I like to say to church members today, “Then why don’t you be genuine?” He knows whether you are or not. You can fool the people in the church. You can fool your neighbors. You can put up a pious front. But why not be real and have a lot of fun in it all? And you don’t have to put on. You can be real and trust Christ as your Savior. And that is the thing that’s so important. And that will produce works—a living, dynamic faith will do that.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
