Bringing in old writings of mine - Grace

*These have some worthwhile value, but they have been written over a period of several years*

Grace is God's gift to man, giving us what we dont deserve instead of what we DO deserve.

Grace is God forgiving us for what we have done. Grace IS NOT God forgiving us for what we are going to do.

When you are forgiven, it means you will try your best not to do it again. "Go ye and sin NO MORE". While we are currently under the Law of Grace, we are still not allowed to sin and say "Oh, God will forgive me". When that argument is used, it cheapens the grace of God, making it an accomidty than a gift. The grace of God was bought by Blood, and by the Blood, with the Blood are we as Christians cleansed of all unrighteousness. Unrighteousness INCLUDES misusing Grace. How can you claim to be a Christian and living under Grace when Grace means nothing to you? You cant. The argument that "We are living under grace, so its okay man" means absolutely nothing.
