The title is taken from a monthly booklet called BLESSING YOUTH MISSION. It is truly helpful to all youngsters who are striving to lead a faithful and a wonderful life for Christ.
Definition of Grizzly Grace :
Taking advantage of the grace of God. It is nothing but committing sin trusting in God's grace.
Jude :4
"...... they are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only sovereign and Lord."
We unknowingly try to use God's grace as a license for sinning and then gradually this will lead to denying Jesus Christ as our Lord.
In the old testament, in Numbers 15:30-31 it was regarded as Blasphemy to sin defiantly.
We see Grace abuse everywhere these days. We must be constantly reminded that -
"Grace is free but not Cheap"
BEWARE, Sin is deceitful friends and it's cunning too. It will make us think-" I want to do this sin. I know it's wrong. But I can just commit it for just this one time and ask God for forgiveness."
We decide for ourselves and won't stop.
God took a great risk and sacrifice in telling us that He has forgiven our sins of past, present and future.
This should encourage us to responsibility and not to lavishness.
You have to be brutally honest with yourself.
We need to nip the trouble in the bud itself. We need to change our perspective of seeing God's grace as a license to do more sin rather than his love for us.
Of course God is a forgiving and loving God. He will forgive us. But is there a guarantee that we will repent ever?! So is there a guarantee that we will come back to God for forgiveness?!
Our lavishness may lead to no repentance and we may move further and further away from God. 2 Timothy 2:25 says it is the Lord alone who grants us repentance. Dont think you will repent tomorrow , cuz we may not be able to repent tomorrow. You see, Everything is in the hands of God.
If you turn back on Him when he is pleasing at the time of temptation, How can you expect Him to Grant you repentance when you want? ( is it not minimum logic?) He may even harden our hearts like that of Pharoahs.
Grace carries with itself Responsibility. Ans they should be balanced. I love this verse written by Paul in 1 Cor 15:10.
Acc. To Romans 5:20 , 6:1
Grace increases when we sinned more so that we may learn righteousness and get eternal life.
Sin can't be out Master. We are under Grace and not the Law. ( Rom 6:14)
Are you paralyzed by Grace??
Grace has much more greater power ( the use of too many adjectives itself shows its significance ) than just Forgiveness.
Please read Titus 2: 11- 14
1) Grace offers salvation to all people
2) Grace teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions.
3) Grace teaches us to live a self controlled, upright, godly life in this present age.
Friends, these days we hear so much about this Hyper grace and prosperity gospel. We need to remember that if you want more Grace. You need to be more obedient.
Hyper grace requires hyper obedience.
Our God is full of Grace and truth. Never take this for granted, we are judged by our doings and we would not like to be found guilty in presence of the white throne judgement.
Grace has much more to do than just forgiveness. Make the maximum use of it.
Amen!
Stay Blessed!
Stay Wow!
