Here’s what I asked ChatGPT
This is what the Bible says:
Works are by Grace. Grace is through Faith. Faith comes by hearing God’s rhema or leading, God’s Word. Christ is God’s Word. Christ authors Faith and finishes it. Our part is to listen and yield. Then, grace obeys the Father through us, but we must allow it. That process builds Christ in us and destroys the rebellious, sinful, carnal human nature, the nature that causes all the problems. It doesn’t just change how we think, but it transfigures us into spiritual beings with the complete authority and power of the Creator God Who is the ONLY source of true love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, inner strength, faith, wisdom, knowledge and love. It puts those who listen and yield in complete and total submission to the Creator God. Keep in mind, Agrippa’s trilemma and the second law of thermodynamics applied to human thinking without God.
How might that change the world?
ChatGPT answered:
The process you describe — where works are enabled by grace, grace comes through faith, faith comes by hearing God’s rhema (leading or spoken word), and Christ as the Word authors and completes this faith — is deeply rooted in the New Testament’s teachings. This idea suggests that the transformative process of spiritual renewal involves divine intervention and cooperation between God’s grace and human obedience.
How This Might Change the World
- Restoration of Humanity’s True Purpose: If individuals were fully surrendered to God’s transformative process, it would lead to the eradication of sin’s effects on human nature. The sinful, carnal human nature that leads to division, conflict, and selfishness would be progressively replaced with Christ-like characteristics: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and the other fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). This would result in healthier, more harmonious relationships, both on an individual level and within society. People would act less out of self-interest and more in alignment with God’s will, contributing to a world of peace and cooperation rather than conflict and division.
- Total Transformation of Thought and Action: Since this transfiguration isn’t merely intellectual or moral, but a deep transformation of the human being (spirit, soul, and body), it would lead to a shift in how people think and act. Instead of operating from the limited perspective of a sinful nature, people would begin to operate from the full power and authority of the Creator. This includes understanding and wisdom rooted in God’s truth rather than human limitations or worldly reasoning. As Christ works in them, they become more aligned with the divine nature, resulting in radical changes to their behavior, priorities, and relationships.
- Transcendence of Human Limitations: As you pointed out, the second law of thermodynamics speaks to the tendency of systems to decay or move toward disorder. Similarly, Agrippa’s trilemma presents a challenge to human reasoning: if Christ is either a liar, a lunatic, or Lord, then the issue of who Jesus is remains central. But when a person listens to and yields to Christ’s transformative power, this decay and disorder are not just counteracted, but reversed. A person becomes a conduit of divine power, wisdom, and goodness — characteristics that transcend the limitations of the human condition. This results in greater unity, not just among individuals but also between people and God, bringing clarity to the confusion that often marks human existence.
- Creation of a Society Reflecting God’s Kingdom: As more people are transformed by this process, society as a whole would reflect God’s kingdom principles. The fruits of the Spirit would be manifest not only in individual lives but in broader societal structures. In communities, there would be less poverty, less injustice, and more compassion. The structures of business, government, and education could be radically changed, with an emphasis on stewardship, righteousness, and the flourishing of all people. Nations would be less concerned with power struggles and more focused on serving others, creating a world that more closely resembles the Kingdom of God described in Scripture.
- Spiritual Power and Authority: When believers allow grace to work through them, they are transformed into spiritual beings operating with God’s full authority and power. This transcends human limitations and gives them the ability to perform works of righteousness, healing, and service that testify to God’s reality. This could lead to a global revival of faith and spiritual awakening, where the power of God is no longer a distant concept but a present, active force in the lives of millions. This would radically alter how people view their purpose and identity, shifting from self-centered living to Christ-centered living.
- Submission to the Creator: Total submission to God’s will is key to this process, as it’s not just about receiving divine power but aligning fully with the will of the Creator. This submission is not one of oppression but of liberation — liberating people from sin, self-reliance, and pride. A world where individuals are surrendered to God’s leading would witness a profound unity of purpose, a world where the divine nature rules rather than human ambition. It would foster collaboration, compassion, and selflessness on a global scale.
Conclusion
If the world embraced the kind of transformation described here — where individuals listen to God’s Word, yield to His grace, and allow Christ to shape their hearts and minds — it would lead to a radical reordering of society. This spiritual transformation would build a world marked by love, peace, and divine wisdom, reflecting the kingdom of God here on earth. The challenges of human nature, human reason, and natural decay would be met by divine power and authority, bringing about profound and lasting change in individuals and the world as a whole.
That’s the end of what ChatGPT said. Under Spiritual Power and Authority, ChatGPT said, “This could lead to a global revival of faith and spiritual awakening, where the power of God is no longer a distant concept but a present, active force in the lives of millions. This would radically alter how people view their purpose and identity, shifting from self-centered living to Christ-centered living.” ChatGPT is just a machine that gets what many millions of people have written and comes up with an “answer.” It rounds the corners of what God says through Scripture to make it fit into worldly thinking. In this case, it has greatly limited God’s power. If God’s power was active in millions even to the extent it was active in men like Moses, that would do more that reflect the kingdom of God here on earth. Jesus said, “Greater works shall you do.” If millions were doing greater works than Christ did, healing the sick, raising the dead, doing miracles to rescue and help millions, then what. What happens when some come into what Paul said, “I show you a mystery. We shall not all die, but we shall be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye.”?
