The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the meaning of Jesus' statement about binding and loosing in Caesarea Philippi. Gregg explains that Jesus was giving his apostles authority to initiate actions on earth that would be reflected in heaven. He suggests that this may also apply to the binding and loosing of demons. Gregg emphasizes the importance of not compromising one's convictions, even if it means sacrificing one's life, as one's soul is more valuable. The talk concludes with a discussion of the apostles' self-denial and the relevance of this concept for modern-day believers.
