Has God's Grace and Love really Run-a-Muck?
Grace and Love as taught by "grace buting, love limiters" has reduced God's Amazing Grace and Unconditional Love to a means of being a fire escape from hell...if grace has run-a-muck...it is the muck-pile that the grace-condemners and love-limiters created by discrediting God's Grace and love. Grace that is reduced to being just a fire escape is a false gospel muck-pile of hog-wash and deception that renders God LOVELESS.
God's Grace and Love 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 phrases "Grace is the lazy man's Gospel" and "people are better lovers than God" are so uninformed about Grace and Love that their ignorance far 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, but no problem because God is love so there is nothing to worry about. 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 too much grace and love, rather, it shows a lack of grace and love living, because to nullify God's commands means we have not understood His Grace or His Love. Grace and love is not only the means of forgiveness, it is also is the POWER for our OBEDIENCE...in fact, without the power of grace and love 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 and Love of God. It is grace and love that sets you free to "walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit." The Spirit is not given by Law Keeping but to be graceful loving in living. Self-effort never produces righteousness no matter how well meaning it may be.
Live grace and love, speak grace and love, speak it correctly and the people who accept it will receive grace's love and power to live godly lives and fulfill its righteous requirements as they live the truth of what Grace and Love is in that their sin, past...present.and future is forgiven.
To be graceful loving 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 "religious narrow-mindedness." Does that mean grace loving people 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.
God's grace and love does not need to be balanced with the Law, it needs to be experienced and lived for what it is! The true ‘Good News Gospel’ 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 did not not choose you to damn you to an eternity of suffering! 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 deception's deception.
