God's grace is the most precious thing, it should never be taken lightly for it cost Jesus His life...and saved ours.

CHEAP GRACE

Be warned, sin is fast becoming rampart World-wide, and God says in His Holy Word that His Spirit will not contend with sinful mankind forever, for the day is fast coming, and is even now knocking at the door, when the awesome wrath of our Holy Righteous God, will be poured out on all who are living in the land of iniquity, all who condone and promote evil. Most people do not understand God’s pure perfection, and think that God will allow just a little, “White lie”, or a small infraction of the rules. However, this is just not so. A perfect God must have perfect standards. To God even a small sin is a huge blot on a person’s character, one that in His perfection, cannot be overlooked!

Yet...God has made a way for mankind to be saved from His coming wrath on this World’s wickedness, and that is through His precious Son, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the World, who was the only man who was tempted in every way that we are tempted, but He never sinned…not even once! He lived the perfect life, and when He willingly gave His life as a sacrifice for the sins of the World, it was an acceptable sacrifice unto God, because of the purity of its perfection.

Be very alert and be aware…Jesus is coming back soon, and we have to make ourselves ready, just like a Bride for her Bridegroom. We are to keep our hands and hearts clean, and have our spirits prepared. If we keep on sinning once we are saved, then we are expecting God to give us, "Cheap Grace", and we know that Grace was in fact, extremely costly, for it cost the life of our precious Saviour Jesus Christ. He paid a debt we never could pay, and that's pure Grace, God’s Almighty Grace, and it is available to all who repent (turn completely away from sin) and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and live their lives for His glory. There is no other way, so make your choice today....for eternity is too long to be wrong!

Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

Isaiah 13:11 I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Christian against the Nazi regime in Germany, said: "Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate."
