If Christians are saved by grace alone, why does obedience still matter? In this episode of The Pleasing God Podcast, we explore the biblical relationship between grace and obedience, and why the gospel does not weaken obedience but produces it.

Drawing on passages such as Titus 2:11–14, Ephesians 2:8–10, and John 14:15, this episode unpacks the difference between legalistic obedience driven by fear and grace-driven obedience rooted in gratitude, love for Christ, and a transformed identity. Rather than treating obedience as the price of God’s acceptance, Scripture presents it as the fruit of God’s grace at work in our lives.

This conversation addresses common misunderstandings about grace, calls believers away from both legalism and passivity, and offers practical encouragement for walking faithfully with Christ in everyday life.
