07/17/13 SIN AND GRACE ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE

07/17/13 SIN AND GRACE ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE

The Bible says, "That which is not of faith is sin," in other words, SIN IS NOT ONLY
THINKING that which is evil,
SPEAKING that which is evil and
DOING that which is evil,

SIN IS LIVING WITHOUT saving faith in Christ,
or,
SIN IS LIVING CONTRARY to faith in Christ.

Satan cannot change the fact that God saves His people from their sins (in this present evil world),
therefore, he lies about it (he is father of lies and he lied to Eve by saying sin would not separate her from God).

Today SATAN tells people that
Christ does not save His people from their sins,
that God does not purify His people, even as He is pure,
that God does not cleanse His people from all sin,
that God does not deliver us from the evil one,
that God does not keep us from falling,
that God does not save the faithful to the uttermost,
and the list goes on.

To doubt God's saving grace is sin.
To exalt sin above the saving grace of God is sin.

So, some people think they honor God by denying His ability to save His people from their sins, but they are sinning and dishonoring God. It is better to believe the Bible than to believe those who contradict the Bible.
 
It does not take any grace to sin.

It takes the grace of God to not sin.

Saving grace does not lead us to sin.

It leads us away from sin, it empowers us to not sin.

To turn back to sin is to fall from grace.

A sinning life is a graceless life.

The presence of sin is the absence of grace.
Living by faith is living in grace.

Grace is not a cheap cover up, it is is a costly and miraculous transformation.

Grace removes and replaces sin, it does not coexist with sin.

Grace is manifested in righteousness, not in sin.

Grace does not exist or abound where sin continues.

Grace perfects, establishes, strengthens and settles us, whereas sin ruins, destabilizes, weakens and disrupts us.
