GRACE WITHOUT OBEDIENCE LEADS TO DEATH

For if ye live after the flesh, YE SHALL DIE: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live – Romans 8:13

The Apostle Paul preached a Message of Grace, but his Message carried a very strong warning. He didn’t give Christians a false sense of eternal security. He didn’t tell them that their sin has no bearing on their Salvation.

We’re saved by Grace through Faith. Grace is what God has done for us but Faith is our response to what He has done for us. Grace doesn’t excuse us from obeying God. Faith without Works is dead, and Obedience is a Work of Faith. Faith doesn’t just get you stuff, it also obeys God.

If we don’t obey God now that we’re saved, we shall die. If we continue living in sin by disobeying God, we shall die. But if we kill the Works of the Flesh by Faith we shall live. Grace without Faith becomes a license to sin. But true Grace teaches us to say no to sin. Glory to God!

CONFESSION

I am saved by Grace through Faith. Obedience to God is my Faith Response to His Grace. As a result, I live a Life of Obedience and not rebellion. Glory to God!
