Has Grace really Run-a-Muck?
Grace
condemning condemners herald the accusation that gracers have gone over
the balance line when it comes to the grace gospel. Let me say this:
when it comes to biblical grace there is no balance line, grace
stands alone, you cannot go to far to the left or to far to the right
because no matter how far you go God's GRACE is already there.
Grace as taught by the "grace but" people has reduced God's Amazing Grace to a means of being a fire escape from hell...if grace has run-a-muck, that is the muck-pile that grace-condemners has driven it to. Grace that is reduced to being just a fire escape is a false gospel muck-pile of hog-wash and deception.
Biblical Grace is clearly a transformative Gospel that goes far beyond being a fire escape from hell, according to Titus 2:11-14: For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
The slingers of the phrase "Grace is the lazy man's Gospel" are so uninformed about Grace that their ignorance overrides the deception they are in. Their idea that "being under grace" and "not under law" is that we are free from moral obligation and can sin without any consequences. The charge that grace people teach that you do not have to obey the law because we have gotten out of balance is indicative of their deceptional illusion...for not obeying the teachings of Jesus is not due to to much grace, rather, it shows a lack of grace living living because to nullify God's commands means we have not understood Grace. Grace is not only the means of forgiveness, it is also is the POWER for our OBEDIENCE...in fact, without the power of grace it is impossible to obey God's commands righteously. Doing it by self-effort is a result of self-righteousness in trying keep the Law as the measurement of obedience is a stench in the nostrils of God!
To preach the Law Keeping Gospel as a means of determining where we are spiritual is utter nonsense. A person cannot keep the Law of God without the Grace of God. It is grace that sets you free to "walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit." The Spirit is not given by Law Keeping but by Grace Living. Self-effort never produces righteousness no matter how well meaning it may be.
Live grace, speak grace, speak it correctly and the people who accept it will receive grace's power to live godly lives and fulfill its righteous requirements as they live the truth of what Grace is in that their sin, past...present.and future is forgiven.
Grace costs me nothing and requires nothing of me. That’s the scandalous part that the law keepers can't get around it is an affront to the religious minded. Does that mean I have the right to continue to sin? Romans 6:1-2 is the answer; What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
This idea idea of ‘balance’ by the law keepers gives them the ability to keep God's people in the bondage of legalism.
True grace does not need to be balanced with anything, it needs to
be experienced and lived for what it is! The true ‘Gospel of
Grace’ will not explain away morality and to live the moral commands, but enable their joyful and effortless fulfillment.
God created you and He loves you and because of His love for people He sent His Son to redeem you. God chose you because He loves you, He not not choose you to damn you! Don't take the condemnation and damnation of law-keepers as being from God, they are speaking out of ignorance and in need of your prayers for freedom from Satan's deception.
