KEEP SINNING SO GRACE WILL ABOUND?
Maybe we should rethink sin, since in the view of some it is only a mistake we make, maybe Jesus was wrong to call hypocrites to the carpet, maybe he was wrong when he said that we will know a tree by the kind of fruit it bears, maybe he should have stayed in heaven, since all of us are only human and just doing what humans do, maybe we should not have repented of our sins, and ask him to wash us in his soul cleansing blood, maybe we should never have been born again and became a new creation since we cling to the sins which we were redeemed from. Maybe we are all “ GOOD” and don’t need a Savior, since everybody knows that only good people do bad things. This is thought process that permeates the body of Christ today, along with the good ole standard “ Don’t Judge that you Be Not Judged “. The target audience for not judging was to those who were hypocritical and have religiosity not true piety which involves mercy, grace, godliness.
Those who walk their faith by example and not exemption are entitled to be able to make a judgment call, why then was there a process that Jesus initiated for the excommunication of those who habitually sinned, which was ratified by the Jerusalem Counsel of Apostles and Leadership, which was also revisited by both Peter & Paul who were used of God to scribe the God-breathed instructions of dealing with offenders who would not submit to correction and rehabilitation.
There is no place in scripture which is explicit in saying that sin does not separate us from the grace of God. The love of God is one thing, the grace of God is another dynamic, no sin that a unrepentant sinner commits can separate them from the love of God, but it takes the grace of God to redeem sinners to God, not to go on sinning but to be set free from habitually sinning against God.
(1) To what conclusion, then, shall we come? Are we to persist in sinning in order that the grace extended to us may be the greater?
(2) No, indeed; how shall we who have died to sin, live in it any longer?
(3) And do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
(4) Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life. Romans 6:1-4
Brethren keep the faith today, remember that Satan’s ploys are often presented with the glaze of truth as a thin layer that conceals lies that will ultimately separate us from our God. Hence we can make a choice to walk away from the grace of God and embrace again the things of the world like a pig returning to the mire, or the dog to its vomit. But we can keep the faith today through the resurrection power of Christ Jesus and walk in the newness of life. Selah!
Shalom, Agape, Amen!
