This is the sorrow state of today's church and Christians, judgement day is coming, preach against sin and evil in the land,the message of grace is not an allowance to be comfortable in this world, we in the world but we are not of this world, we are from zion and heaven is our focus. 2 Likes 1 Share

That message of not judging others does not mean we shall not preach the truth to people, rather, it is not for us to declare people guilty of sin. No one is put right before God by doing what is right, but His grace in us does that (Romans 3:20, Titus 3:7). A criminal we condemn today might enter heaven before us. We are admonished to show people love instead of judging and hating them for their sins, preaching God's salvation through Christ. It's not for us to weigh others sins, and criticize them for being sinful. Everybody deserves death; both the bomber, murderer, liar, greedy and the self righteous, but for the grace of God which is for everybody. |

Penssuwa:Bro in christ, I pray for an immeasurable grace of God on your life. People, especially pharisee-self righteous-holier than thou-christians, like to judge people of their sins, which they fully know are guilty of. Everybody is guilty of sin. They think they are guilty of sin because they commit sin, but they never know that by one man sin entered the world and made all sinners. You are allowed to advice people around but must be by the WORD OF FAITH- grace, and not condemning the sinners |

promisechuks: Thank you sir. May our Lord fill and replenish you with His grace and the Spirit of God. Surprisingly, I studied about grace, faith, salvation and the law yesterday and this morning. The spirit of God opened my eyes to discover that many Christians (with me inclusive as at then) struggle to keep the law believing that by it, they shall see God, not knowing that the purpose of the law is not to keep people on the right path but to bring condemnation upon us. It is there to make people know that they have sinned, stopping all human excuses and bringing all under God's judgement. You will know the law but cant keep it, instead, we keep battling with sin which is inherent in our flesh. Even when we keep it, we are still not made righteous by it. But with the grace of God through faith and the gift of Holy spirit, we are set to righteousness. We no longer battle to do the right thing or keep the law, rather, we do the good by default with no strength of our own. The Adamic nature which is susceptible to sin and is already condemned, is substituted. Bro, I battled against a particular sin for more than eleven years. I was dejected and helpless. I kept going back to it immediately or few days after repentance. I was miserable, not until last year when i accepted Christ fully to take over, and asked for his grace. Now, I dont even remember the sin, I am no longer slave to my desires. Everything left with no struggle of mine. For this topic, one may read Titus Chapter 3, Romans 3, 4 and 5. Thank you. 1 Like |

Penssuwa:Oh! I really thank God for that. YOU SEE THE GRACE GOSPEL THAT THESE PHARISEE CHRISTIANS HAVE TERMED "DANGEROUS" HAS BEEN DOING IN MANY PEOPLES LIFE? The same is applicable to me. I repented in 2010, but since then I lived my live in absolute fear of hell, condemnation, fear and worst of all, sin-consciousness because I know even in my holiest form I am imperfect. Just like paul said; whenever I will to do good, I will see evil present with me, and seriously as a result, like many other pharisee christians, I never had the assurance of eternal life because I thought and live as if it were a reward but never knew it was a gift. At a time, masturbation and porn started to become a problem to me and the worst of all is that the more I TRY to stay away from it, the worse it becomes. Anytime I do it and ask for forgiveness, I PROMISE God of not going back to it again, the next time the temptation will come the force will too much that I will do it again disregarding my promise to God. BUT ONE DAY, I heard the grace gospel, though it a long story, I repent both of my wrong believing and as well repented of my RIGHT LIVING. RIGHT LIVING? Yes, of course! Because I had to depend TOTALLY on christ's finished work, instead of my right living. Now, after that, few weeks later, masturbation and porn started to become a dirty act , that I couldn't with stand the sight of it. I NEVER believed that I can hate such things so much the way I hate them now. Not because of hell fire. NO! But because God has filled my heart with his love for him. And the more live by grace the more I get in knowing him. But please, how can a dangerous gospel, as termed by the pharisee christians, make me to live the best of life I can ever lived in this live? Can a dangerous gospel save from porn and masturbation? NO! All I know is that God has really made it SO EASY for us to be saved, but many pharisee christians has made it look so hard. But one thing stands sure; IT IS THE DEVIL'S JOB TO MAKE THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION SEEM SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO BE SAVED. 1 Like |
