We all love to talk about the Grace of God. God's Grace is FANTASTIC. God's Grace helps us to believe and come to Christ for salvation. God's Grace helps us to recognize our sin and to confess our sins. God's Grace provides forgiveness for our sins through Messiah's death and resurrection when we confess our sins. God's Grace empowers us to learn and to do the will of God. God's Grace is powerful and life-changing, when we submit to God and allow His Grace to work through our lives.
What many people forget is that if we do not properly use God's Grace to help us turn away from sin, and to empower us to return to YHWH, to return to His Ways; and if we don't properly use the Grace of God to help us do the will of God, then WE WILL STILL bear the consequences of sin. People forget that even with God's Grace, the real consequences of sin are NOT REMOVED, if we do not repent. If we continue to walk in sin, we will inherit the wages of sin, (which is death and destruction). Grace is there to empower us to repent, and we receive God's forgiveness as we repent. True grace DOES NOT teach that you will inherit the blessings of God and His Kingdom, without turning away from sin. If you truly want to escape the biblical consequences for sin, the only viable option you have is to repent. Even Jesus the Messiah said that if we do not repent we will perish. So, if you don't want to perish, then you have to develop a lifestyle where your turning away from sin, and you are RETURNING to YHWH and to His Ways; the ways that He says are pleasing to Him.
