NEW BIRTH, NOT NEW HABITS

Why Becoming a Better Person Isn't Christianity

THUMBNAIL HOOK BETTER ISN'T BORN AGAIN
OPENING HOOK
A person can become more disciplined, polite, generous, and still never be born again.
CENTRAL DOCTRINE

Regeneration versus moralism.

TEACHING SPINE

Three movements.

  1. Moral improvement is possible without regeneration.
  2. Christianity claims that sinners need new life, not simply better discipline.
  3. Good works matter as fruit of salvation, not as its source.
KEEP THE BALANCE

What this teaching must not distort.

Do not belittle virtue or discipline. The claim is that moral reform cannot substitute for reconciliation and new birth in Christ.

LAND THE LINE
Jesus did not come merely to improve behavior. He came to give life.
