Don’t Be afraid of Grace

We live in a world where we all have been taught since childhood how to only be obedient and do right, or follow rules out of fear of punishment. This is why I can understand how preachers who don’t understand God’s grace can be afraid of the message of Grace. Because in their mind, if a person believes that they are forgiven of past, present, and future sins. Then what is going to stop a person from committing sin is how they think.This is the mindset of someone who does not trust God’s ability by the Holy Spirit inside of his people. I am fully aware that some people will try and use God’s grace and forgiveness as an excuse to indulge in things that they shouldn’t. But here is the thing, if a person thinks that way, they are deceived. Second, sin will destroy your life. But the fear of someone trying to take advantage of God’s grace should not hinder us from preaching the truth of his Grace. When you know what God’s truth that is believed in the heart of a person produces, you won’t be afraid and so concerned about how they will behave. The performance and behavior of someone who claims Christianity is not the determining factor of God’s truth. This is what it means to walk by faith and not sight.
