If you want to know what it truly means to be justified by God and to stand out in a culture driven by insatiable, empty appetites, you must watch Dr. John Barnett’s class "Change Your Perspective Like The Early Church Be Unblameable In Holiness". In this profoundly encouraging session, Dr. Barnett unpacks what it means to live with a brand-new confidence, completely cleansed from the guilt of your past.
Here is a detailed summary of the life-changing lessons covered in this session:
1. A New Confidence: Rescued from the Slave Market Dr. Barnett takes us deep into 1 Thessalonians 3:13 to explain how the early church—who had been deeply embedded in the gross sexual immorality and pagan worship of the Roman Empire—could suddenly stand "blameless in holiness". You will learn that redemption literally means being purchased right out of the slave market of sin. No matter your background, you can have the unshakable confidence that you are completely washed, cleansed, and justified freely by His grace.
2. The Erased Ledger: Why God Forgets Your Sin How can an omniscient God suddenly not remember what you did? Dr. Barnett beautifully explains that the "handwriting of ordinances" (the exact record of your sins) was nailed right over the top of Christ’s head on the cross. Because Jesus was absolutely impeccable and sinless, He took the complete penalty for every sin you would ever commit from birth to death. God will never bring your past sins up to you because that record has already been settled. When you truly grasp the depth of your own sin, you become a believer who loves the Lord deeply.
3. The Radiance of Holiness: The Boston Apple Store Encounter What does an "unblameable" life actually look like to the unsaved world? Dr. Barnett shares a stunning real-life story of navigating a massive New England snowstorm to visit an Apple store in a Boston mall. While Dr. Barnett was simply standing and waiting for his appointment, a young employee named Brandon walked right up to him and immediately asked, "Are you a Christian?". Brandon, a new believer struggling in a soiled culture, had just prayed that morning to meet a "normal" Christian who was making it in the real world. He recognized Dr. Barnett instantly because of a visible "radiance"—a peaceful tranquility that stood in stark contrast to the hopeless "mall rats" who were blindly driven by insatiable appetites, trying to buy happiness with more stuff.
4. The Ultimate Antidote to the Culture: "What Drug Are You On?" When you walk in unblameable holiness, hungry hearts and even demons take notice. Dr. Barnett shares another incredible encounter with a waiter in Los Angeles who served him and his wife, Bonnie, for three days in a row. The waiter, a self-admitted cocaine user, honestly asked them, "What drug are you on? … you’re high every morning". Dr. Barnett explained that their joy wasn’t chemical; it was the liberating "new confidence" of being unblamable in holiness.
