God Is Opening His Arms To Us; Let Us Obey
(Romans 10:5-21)
A Sermon By Elise Beatrice – Thursday 17 July 2025
Is the Old Testament truly “archaic,” or are we just reading it wrong? Elise Beatrice uncovers the spiritual “prescriptions” hidden in ancient commands that many have dismissed as old-fashioned. This isn’t a lesson in history; it’s a revelation of the “divine riches” that nourish the soul and set us free from darkness. Before you put the Old Testament on the shelf, listen to this exhortation—it might just be the very instruction you’ve been dismissing that leads you to Jesus like never before.
In this passionate, powerful sermon, Elise Beatrice calls believers to look beyond surface-level readings of Scripture and confront a dangerous misunderstanding of salvation. This message challenges the shallow belief that saying a belief alone guarantees peace with God, while obedience, repentance, and faithfulness are ignored. Elise Beatrice unfolds the deep unity between faith and obedience, showing that God’s arms are open — but they are open to those who truly listen, trust, and walk in His ways. A sobering and necessary call to genuine faith, not empty confession.
Are you reading the Word of God superficially, or are you looking “beneath the words”? Elise Beatrice delivers a powerful exhortation challenging the modern Christian to move past legalism and “cheap grace” into a transformative relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Through an inspired interpretation of Romans 10:5-21, Elise Beatrice explains that while we are saved by grace through faith, that faith is dead if it refuses to listen.
In this Sermon:
- The Myth of the “Archaic” Word: Why the Old Testament is still a vital mirror of God’s moral Law.
- The Rope in the Pit: A moving illustration of why calling for help requires the obedience to grab the rope.
- The Jealousy of God’s people: How those “not looking for God” found Him, while those “waiting for Him” missed Him. Join Elise Beatrice for a sermon that bridges the gap between the Law and the Spirit, calling every believer to a life of genuine, active devotion.
Elise Beatrice brings a fire-filled message on Romans 10, challenging the “shortcut” theology that plagues many today. She masterfully refutes the idea that “confessing with your mouth” is a license to ignore God’s moral instructions and the “easy belief” that leaves Christians standing still. She explores the mystery of why some who weren’t even looking for God found Him, while those who claimed to be His people stayed far away. Elise Beatrice dismantles the claim that obedience to God’s moral Law is obsolete or “archaic.” With clarity and conviction, she reveals how both the Old and New Testaments point to Christ, and why dismissing God’s commands leads to deception and spiritual danger. This sermon exhorts believers to seek the deep meaning beneath God’s words and reject the false assurance that confession without obedience is enough. A bold reminder that true faith listens — and follows
If you’ve felt your faith has become a routine of words without power, this sermon will challenge you to let go of your own way and embrace the “easy yoke” of Christ.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord Most High!
