This is why Christianity is so wrong, it permits sin !! Sin as much as you want and the blood of Jesus will atone for your present sins, past sins and future sins. |

bloodofthelamb: Well spoken sir, only the proud in heart does not acknowledge grace.. While it is true that grace abounds one has to acknowledge grace for it to manifest. yes his grace us available to all men, but not all men have made themselves available to grace... some out of pride, some feel they can achieve it all by themselves, but without grace its always a life disgrace 1 Like 1 Share |

toobusy: First of all we need to get to understand who God is and also the retched nature of man. Romans 3 Vs 23 said that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Every man, all have sinned. As a result of Adams disobedience, humanity was sold into sin. In Isaiah 64 Vs 6 states that the righteousness of man is like a filthy rags. See there is not even one good in man, be it pope, GO etc. The only saving grace for man is Jesus Christ God's Son, who took the form of man, and as a lamb of sacrifice, was offered up for the Sin of entries mankind. God judged the sin of the entire world on Jesus when He hung on the cross of Calvary. That's why in 2corinthians 5 Vs 19,God does not input the sins of the world again, because Jesus became Sin, and God is calling the world to be reconciled to Him. But will the world listen. God's nature is holiness, mercy and grace. It is God's mercy and grace that withholds God's judgement on the Wicked because He did not want anyone to perish. God's grace and mercy reveals us to Gods greatest nature which is Love. Agape, God's kind of love. God's love is beyond man, man can't even fathom it because man is selfish by nature. And the major problem why our world is messed up is because of man's selfishness. Read 1corinthians 13, that chapter emphasizes on God's love. And men will never know the gravity of the Love God has for man till when they go to the other side of eternity, and by then it will be too late for many, because when they man dies and then realize how much he was Loved by God and rejected this love, expressed in Jesus Christ, then they will go into eternity gnashing their teeth in regret. That is why the best thing that will happen to any man alive is to fall in love with God, fall in love with Jesus Christ. Better discover this love now and live in it. When it comes to sin, believers still struggle with sin, because we are still carrying the body of sin. That is why as a Christian, daily fellowship with God in studying His word and prayers will fortify you as a believer while still in the flesh. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Bhol28:No, we are not trying to encourage sin. We are trying to preach the gospel as it is. Where sun abounds grace did much more abound so that as sin brought death so should grace bring everlasting life. We should not sin on that account, knowing it is not the will of God for us. We do not encourage sin through preaching grace rather we are able to live above sin when we know grace. Romans 3:31. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Bro, you remember the story of the woman caught in adultery? John 8? By the law, she was to be stoned to death,, by the law. But grace didn't see her as someone condemned to death yet, grace saw her as someone worthy of a second chance. In law, we have accusers while in grace, we have an advocate, the law condemns but the grace saves. Satan uses the letters of the law to finish and completely kill some sons of God. In your daily work with God, have you ever fallen and a spirit is constantly reminding you of your place as a fallen child of God? Reminding you of what you did, how you disappointed God and you get soaked in this thought till you see yourself as an unworthy fellow, not even fit to be a child of God, you can't stand up to issues by faith again, your prayer life is dying and all. That's what satan uses the law to do. But remember this, 1 john 2:1 "My little children, these things I write unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an ADVOCATE with the father (who is to judge), JESUS CHRIST the righteous. The words in ()are mine. The first charge is "SIN NOT" and the grace is "even if you sin cos it's practically impossible not to sin by human effort, then we have an ADVOCATE to defend you before God based on the strength of his righteousness. Bro, sin (ambiguous) isn't being promoted but demoted. Let's embrace grace of God and strive to live Holy. The grace is what brought you to Christ in the first place. But the grace ends the day a man dies. I believe you know that this grace can be abused. You don't sleep with girls at will or under the influence of whatever and say grace is there to cover you o. You don't kill or deliberately do some unholy shit and you are banking on the grace,,, nah oyo be ur second name o. Bhol28: 3 Likes 1 Share |

jaxxy: He gave Salvation through Jesus that not one may receive the gift of Forgiveness and the Grace of God but only through Jesus Christ. The Law is past it is not meant for the saved. you cannot keep the law and be covered by grace. choose one and not both, it is worldly wisdom to think that we can interpret God's words any different than he spoke it 1 Like 2 Shares |

5solas: Ephesians 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. But yet nonetheless these gifts are differently and variously divided according to his will and pleasure, and therefore every man ought to be content with that measure that God has given him. bearing in mind that one can't quantify the measure of grace u have, it's better to take that mentality of the more you sin, the more the grace available to you away from ur mind, cos one doesn't know wen the grace will expire. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. The spirit of God does not live in a dirty vessel, the more you sin, the more you get comfortable with it, and the more difficult it is to trace ur step back to God. Beware 1 Like |

There is no need to twist the scripures to sooth any devilish agenda the entire Christian experience is 100% clear wen it comes to the issue of sin the bible says shall we continue in sin, cos grace abounds, God forbid The wages of sin is death he that sins of the devil The soul that sinneth shall die righteousness exalts a nation and so on and so forth how can Jesus encourage to continue in the same sin he died to save u from, does that make any sense God and sin cannot go together The major identity of the devil is destruction and his tool his sin Thats why God has provided everything needed for a believer to obtain victory over sin His Son, His word, His spirit and Himself 2 Likes |

Re: But Where Sin Abounded, Grace Abounded Much More - Olamide Obire by Aposteli1(m): 1:40pm On Feb 11, 2018 |
It truth most be told. The grace of God is not for us to continue in Sin. As it's stated clearly in Romans 6:1, The grace of God is for us to live a holy life in order to run the race that is set before Us. God never created man as a Robot. If we are to be Sons of God there's a basic primciple that we have to follow. John 15:14 Jesus Christ says " You are my friends if you do what I command". Furthermore,Apostle Paul through the help of Holy Spirit let Us to know that We (Christians) are a Living Sacrifice and we must live a Holy/Sacrificial Life(Romans 12:1-. Brethrens,let us create time to study our Bible and Run away from false Preachers encouraging Sin all in the name of Grace. (Mark 13:3-9). We can live a Holy life,we must live a holy life because that is our MANDATE. Let's preach the Gospel of Christ as we received it From Jesus Christ himself and the Apostles ( The early Church). The Word of God can't be outdated don"t try to update it. God will uphold Us in Jesus name.......Shalom!! 2 Likes |

Omo ibadan, better not to quote the scripture than to quote it out of context to fit your devilish and witchcraft belief. That's a religion, not Christianity. So, Christianity to you is just all about visiting orphans and widows in their distress and not being polluted? Show me the work of Christ in that. What kinda christians are churches breeding nowadays? By the way, how many orphanages and widows have you helped? Read from verse 26 & even the verse 27 you quoted, I might need a day to interpret it for you. Charlesdock: 2 Likes 1 Share
