Many of todays Christians believe Grace is going to cover their shortcomings of sin whether that be smoking, drinking, adultery, fornicating, lust, anger, hate, unforgiveness, rage, bitterness, mingling with the world, watching countless hours of TV, playing violent video games, watching licentious or horror movies, etc. They believe they are no longer under the LAW!!
If we do NOT call on GRACE to get things right with God, then on Judgment Day, we are going to get a RUDE AWAKENING. You will then realized that you had been deceived by your secular religious powerless churches and pastors who did not teach you the TRUTH. But by then it will be too late.
When you thought Grace was going to save you for just having to only "BELIEVE" you come to realize that when you SIN and CONTINUE TO SIN YOU WILL NO LONGER BE UNDER GRACE BUT UNDER THE LAW!!! THEN THE LAW WILL JUDGE YOU!!
Romans 6:14(AMP) For sin shall not [any longer] exert dominion over you, since now you are not under Law [as slaves], but under grace [as subjects of God's favor and mercy].
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE SEVERITY AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE VERSE ABOVE? IF SIN HAS DOMINION OVER YOU, THEN YOU WILL BE UNDER THE LAW AS SLAVES OF SIN!!! IF YOU ARE UNDER GRACE, SIN SHOULD NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU!!!WAKE UP!!!
Romans 6:11-23 (ESV) So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. 15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 BUT WHAT FRUIT WERE YOU GETTING AT THAT TIME FROM THE THINGS OF WHICH YOU ARE NOW ASHAMED? FOR THE END OF THOSE THINGS IS DEATH. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the FRUIT YOU GET LEADS TO SANCTIFICATION AND ITS END, ETERNAL LIFE. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
If some of you are struggling with addictions and/or SIN, then call out to GRACE and CRY out to HIM in repentance for help. Do not deceive yourselves thinking Grace allows you to continue in such SIN. Grace is there to help you overcome SIN so you may bear FRUIT LEADING TO SANCTIFICATION AND ITS END, ETERNAL LIFE. Otherwise, the FRUIT OF SIN IS DEATH AND GRACE WILL NOT SUPERSEDE GOD'S OWN WORD.
FIRE OF GOD!!
