True Grace, The Key To Successful Christian Living

 

“Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. 19 So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.“(Matthew 5:17-19 NLB) Well, Jude says, “ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into lawlessness”contradict (deny or disown) Jesus and put words in His mouth.

Grace is not a license to ignore God’s written commands!

“For certain men have crept in stealthily [gaining entrance secretly by a side door]. Their doom was predicted long ago, ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).” [Jude 1:4 AMP]

In the first generation of the church, repentance and the grace of God were already attacked and distorted by false teachers. Remember, our Lord warned us “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing…” [Matt 7:15 (NKJV)]

What Do We Do With God’s Old Testament Laws? Part 1

 

President Barack Obama stated in 2006, “Which passages of Scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is Ok and that eating shellfish is abomination? How about Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount–a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application? So before we get carried away, let’s read our Bibles.”

He along with the majority of Americans attack the scripture and denounce the truth of God’s Word. The common denominator seems to be ignorance of the Old Testament scripture, which leaves most rejecting the protective love that God provides with His Law. And it is clear, the laws are so foreign to people today that even church attenders and Christians give the same arguments that Obama gives, and concludes no one needs to follow the Law today, just love God and do what you generally want, as long as you don’t feel guilty and feel good about yourself.

First Fear, Then Wisdom: What Do We Do With God’s OT Laws? Part 2

 

The fuzzy minds of modern religious thought seems paralyzed with twisted fantasies of FREEDOM from God’s commands instead of FREEDOM TO OBEY God’s even harder and higher demands of Jesus Christ! Listen Jesus did not lower the bar, He raised it. Men are not naturally good people and please God, BUT ARE SLAVES OF SIN, THE DELUSIONAL LIES OF SATAN AND BENT ON REBELLION AGAINST GOD.

Jesus Christ did not die on the cross for Christians to disregard HIS WILL, but to cut the bondage of selfish disobedience [sin], and emblazon their hearts to crave the crazy, extreme holy life, of abandonment to His KINGDOM.

“Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom.  All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.” Psalms 111:10 (NLT) Fear drives people to do what is right until they change their minds and desire to do what is right.
