Subject: Can a person push God too far?? |
Bible Note: To 'fall from grace' is a doctrinal issue not a life issue. It means to have taken up a false position. It does not mean that someone is in such a position that they are no longer experiencing the grace of God, or are acceptable to Him. The Galatians had not been rejected by God, rather they had been led astray doctrinally. It means that doctrinally they have gone astray from the truth. They have taken up a position where they have begun to depend on their own righteousness rather than on the righteousness provided by God. Paul was clearly hopeful that it would only be a temporary phase. |
