💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: God’s lavish grace is not an excuse to sin.... and if you do SIN, it's because you WANNA SIN!
🙄 SORRY, BUT YOU SIMPLY CANNOT LIVE HOWEVER YOU WANT AND STILL CLAIM THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!
Beloved, this is the message you must hear until the very end! WE are either a slave to sin and will inherit the punishment that is associated with it, or we are slaves to righteousness and inherit the rewards associated with it. Christ Jesus died so that our sins could be forgiven, but a life lived in DELIBERATE BLATANT sin, does not lead to salvation and nothing in the Bible suggests that it would. God has NEVER and will NEVER be happy with rebellion and blasphemy!! DID U HEAR THAT?!
📌 We are saved by the grace of God and by grace alone, the Bible is extremely clear on this, but many people don’t understand grace or what it means to follow God, and that is why they ask why can’t they just live however they want and still be saved. If you are being been saved, it is because you, through repentance, have given your heart to God, and a heart that has been given to God, desires the things of God and does not desire to sin! PERIOD!!
Listen, just because you’re covered by grace, doesn’t mean it gives you the right to do whatever you want with your body & your mouth! When you become a follower of Jesus', you don’t experience autonomy; for you are not self-ruled! You become a slave to righteousness. You have a new Master. You’re no longer a slave or a child of iniquity. You’re no longer a slave to your sin. You’re a slave to righteousness. You are not your own because you’ve been purchased and bought at a price, and that price was Christ. Paul is clear on this in Romans 5 and 6 as he’s talking to the Christians in Rome. He’s preaching this lavish grace on them, and they get the brilliant idea 🤦🏾♀️ oh boy, “Should I just go on abounding in my sin so the grace of God can abound even more? Ummm No! Look, their mentality, just like of most professing Christians today: multiplied sins comes multiplied grace. In order to show that God’s grace is so overwhelmingly amazing, I’ll just sin more.” What’s Paul’s answer? God forbid!
The Bible tells us to always be ready because Jesus comes as a thief in the night, so in other words, we have no way of knowing when we will meet God, only that we will. If we are ready, things will go well for us, and if we are not ready, things will go poorly for us. When we choose not to follow Jesus, we have chosen poorly indeed. Intentionally living a life of sin and thinking that we will someday repent before it is too late, is like playing chicken with the train with a blindfold on and earplugs in. We're NOT GONNA MAKE IT! Amen! LIVE CLEAN! BE HOLY!
🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
