I have finally realized how many people error in their beliefs of Jesus Christ and The Bible.
Some people will ask what would Jesus do in this situation?
Some people are giving Grace to people who are living an unholy life. people who have no desire to change but are proud of their evil deeds are given Grace. Some people believe that everyone is entitled to Grace and no condemnation or judgment no matter what. Sounds good, but let's examine that belief. Some people believe that The Bible says: for us not to judge, so they end up condoning sin. I heard a man say that: he believes everyone should be given Grace. After seeing their pride in their deeds and not caring that they are evil, he says that everyone should receive Grace.
What do you think? Should we overlook their evil deeds and show Grace? Here are some Scriptures they are using for their beliefs.
Matthew 7:1
Judge Not, That Ye Be Not Judged.
John 3:17
For God Sent Not His Son Into The World To Condemn The World; But That The World Through Him Might Be Saved.
Romans 6:14
For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace.
These Holy Scriptures taken by themselves can give you the sense that everyone is to be left alone to do whatever they please them, and they are still okay with God.
I know we Christians desire everyone to be under Grace, but not everyone is. Christians know that Grace is here for anyone who asks but not all will ask.
Grace is over those who are Saved By Grace. If you are not Saved By Grace, then you are under The Law. The Law is in effect until you ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins, and then Grace is in effect. Only after repentance of your sins are you under Grace.
Ephesians 2:8
For By Grace Are Ye Saved Through Faith; And That Not Of Yourselves: It Is The Gift Of God:
Romans 10:8-11
But What Saith It? The Word Is Nigh Thee, Even In Thy Mouth, And In Thy Heart: That Is, The Word Of Faith, Which We Preach; That IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED. FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION. For The Scripture Saith, Whosoever Believeth On Him Shall Not Be Ashamed.
Romans 8:1-14
THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT. FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HATH MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. For What The Law Could Not Do, In That It Was Weak Through The Flesh, God Sending His Own Son In The Likeness Of Sinful Flesh, And For Sin, Condemned Sin In The Flesh: THAT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED IN US, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT. For They That Are After The Flesh Do Mind The Things Of The Flesh; But They That Are After The Spirit The Things Of The Spirit. For To Be Carnally Minded Is Death; But To Be Spiritually Minded Is Life And Peace. Because THE CARNAL MIND IS ENMITY AGAINST GOD: For It Is Not Subject To The Law Of God, Neither Indeed Can Be. So Then They That Are In The Flesh Cannot Please God. But Ye Are Not In The Flesh, BUT IN THE SPIRIT, IF SO BE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU. NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS. And If Christ Be In You, The Body Is Dead Because Of Sin; But The Spirit Is Life Because Of Righteousness. But If The Spirit Of Him That Raised Up Jesus From The Dead Dwell In You, He That Raised Up Christ From The Dead Shall Also Quicken Your Mortal Bodies By His Spirit That Dwelleth In You. Therefore, Brethren, We Are Debtors, Not To The Flesh, To Live After The Flesh. For If Ye Live After The Flesh, Ye Shall Die: But If Ye Through The Spirit Do Mortify The Deeds Of The Body, Ye Shall Live. FOR AS MANY AS ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY ARE THE SONS OF GOD.
John 3:15-21
That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have Eternal Life. For God So Loved The World, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have Everlasting Life. FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD; BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED. HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED: BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. And This Is The Condemnation, That Light Is Come Into The World, And Men Loved Darkness Rather Than Light, Because Their Deeds Were Evil. For Every One That Doeth Evil Hateth The Light, Neither Cometh To The Light, Lest His Deeds Should Be Reproved. But He That Doeth Truth Cometh To The Light, That His Deeds May Be Made Manifest, That They Are Wrought In God.
SALVATION IS THE DIFFERENCE. ONLY AFTER SALVATION ARE YOU UNDER GRACE, UNTIL THEN YOU ARE UNDER THE LAW. SO EVERYONE IS UNDER THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTIL YOU HAVE FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS FOR HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS TO BE GIVEN UNTO YOU.
YOU DO NOT HAVE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHOUT FAITH IN HIS SACRIFICE FOR SIN. GOD SENT HIS OWN SON NOT TO CONDEMN THE WORLD BUT THAT THE WORLD (THROUH HIM) MIGHT BE SAVED.
FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HATH MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.
ONLY THROUGH CHRIST JESUS ARE YOU UNDER GRACE!
ONLY THROUGH CHRIST JESUS ARE YOU SAVED!
ONLY THROUGH CHRIST JESUS ARE YOU RIGHTEOUS!
JESUS CHRIST MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!
IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED. FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION.
