Bible Question:
I have heard preachers say: "you cannot out-sin the grace of God." I thought it might be interesting to see what this forums thoughts on that statement might be. So do you agree with that statement? Do you disagree? Why? |
Bible Answer: Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. I am not sure what the phrase was meant to say "you cannot out-sin the grace of God." You cannot sin so much that God cannot save you. Or let me say it like this. No man has sinned to such a degree that the blood of Christ on the cross could not pay for it. However Faith must be exercised on the part of the believer and Faith that brings salavation teaches us to deny ungodly lusts. The Grace of God is such that if we exercise this true faith we are promised salvation. If on the other hand we do not exercise faith but rather sin continously with no heart of repentance and faith indulging in the lusts of the flesh, then how can we say we have faith? And even if we once had faith, but choose not to have faith today then we have no promise of Grace. Grace is only to the believer. And a believer is defined differently in the Bible than many so called believers might think. This is the definition of saving faith... Titus 2:11-12 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; |
