Grace Is Free, But Discipleship Is Costly

[christlovedeaf]

There is so much confusion as I see past threads by lack of meaning of christians who are saved by grace, by thinking that is getting by with sin. The truth is, its not so. As popular word by saying Jesus as our fire insurance. Many thought grace and faith is same meaning, which is also inaccurate. During the OT like Moses, Abraham, David, Daniel and many others who were living by faith in God, as you see the examples and explanation in Book of Hebrews. When Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who was crucified to pay our sin debt in full and rose from the dead and now sit in the right hand of the Father and then the Holy Spirit indwelled in the believers. That's call grace. Its free, which we don't deserve, bec of our sins and that's called love, He paid our debt in full. Saved by grace thru faith, not, saved by faith. When sin abounds, grace abounds all the more and nothing can outnumber grace. As is was written, if we are saved by grace, that mean we can sin? No, we don't. Then what if I make mistakes, the answer grace abound. There are different response, that is are you seriously want to be more like Christ or get by with it? How can u love God by with an improper attitude by getting by with it? When you received Christ as your Savior, the Holy Spirit living inside of you and sealed, and enable you to become more like what God called you to do. Its grace alone, not works. Grace enable you to perform, that is God thru you to glorify Him. Discipleship is costly. Like Jesus said, if you want to be my disciple, you must deny yourself ( give up self center and nail it to the cross) and take up the cross, and follow me. It is everyday thing. As also mention, do not be conform of this world, but transform by renewing your mind. It is a daily thing. Like also said, whatever man think, so is he. First saved by grace, that is justification, grow in Him and daily cleansing, that is sanctification and when God calls us Home, our body become glorified. We are in grace generation till Great Tribulation comes. As it written be ye holy, bec God is holy. How? Thru His blood. Walk same as Christ walk, that is learn from Him daily. Oh how sweet fellowship that is. Let His love and forgiveness flow thru you same as what Christ shown you. As it written, let this mind also in Christ. The more you worship Him daily, you will face challenges. You may anxious by saying, what if I fail, God is faithful to the faithless. Nowhere in scripstures says you will have no problem, no temptations, no trial and etc. Nowhere. Take hope and keep your eyes fix on God thru Jesus Christ. Just join the gangs as we continue to walk thru the wilderness, and be prepare for the storms ahead, till we will arrive to the Promise Land, which is across the river of Jordan, Heaven. Smile
