RELIGIOUS PERSON: "If you go around talking about God's radical grace and telling people they're completely forgiven and free, they're just going to go out and use it as an excuse to commit world records in sinning!"
The accusation leveled against modern grace teachers is nothing new! It is mind blowing how we have missed the fact that the apostle Paul dealt with these accusations 2,000 years ago. Read Romans 3:5-8 and 6:1 and 15! Paul's message was so radical that the religious leaders of his day were accusing him of saying that we should just go wild with sin. The religious leaders of today sling around the same bogus, nonsensical accusation.
If you want to disprove Yahweh God's extreme grace or hyper-grace (huperperisseuó), do not read the book of Romans. Paul’s letter to the Romans is absolutely dripping with the doctrine of grace, and it is unequivocal, irrefutable, and crystal clear.
- Crystal clear that grace is a free gift. (Romans 3:24; 5:15)
- Crystal clear that faith is about receiving from Yahweh, not doing more for Him. (Romans 4:5)
- Crystal clear that grace is radical. (Romans 5:20-22)
- Crystal clear that forgiveness is finished. (Romans 6:10)
- Crystal clear that grace gives us power over sin (Romans 6:14)
- Crystal clear that Yahweh is for me. (Romans 8:31)
- Crystal clear that grace needs nothing, expects nothing, and gives everything. (Romans 8:32)
- Crystal clear that closeness with Yahweh is not conditional. (Romans 8:38-39)
- Crystal clear that I am filled with goodness. (Romans 15:14)
Once you rightly understand the New Covenant, the Gospel, and grace, it changes EVERYTHING! Once you know the TRUTH about how good Yahweh God’s grace truly is, it will ruin you for anything else!
Consider this your warning shot!
For this very reason, I can no longer step foot inside organized religious institutions. Everything that comes out of the performer’s mouth sets off red flags left, right, and center as I discern the legalism and religion dripping from their lips to keep people enslaved in bondage.
