True Christians are disciples of Jesus.
True Christians are disciples of Jesus.
There is mercy for all for a time, and grace for some forever.
For the law was given by Moses,
but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
John 1:17.
Yes, but only for a time. God gives His mercy to everyone until we die or the time comes when the Father sends Jesus back to get us, His children, whichever comes first. If you are not born again of the Spirit, you are not a child of God, because His mercy gives everyone time to repent and become born again and saved. The problem is that nobody knows when they will die or when Jesus will return to take the saved to heaven with Him.
Postponing repentance and putting off getting saved (born again) is the biggest gamble anyone can ever make! If they lose the gamble, they lose their soul in the torment of hell forever with the devil. Become born again and saved now!
Caution: The devil loves those who gamble with their own soul, and the devil will help them stay sinful. God's wrath is reserved for the devil and all who do not become born again through repentance. Don't gamble, don't put it off, stop relying on mercy and start receiving the true grace of God from Jesus the Christ in love!
Grace is often misunderstood and stretched beyond its meaning and intent. We start with the understanding that grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. When reading the term grace in the Bible think Jesus-the Word.
Grace is the essence of the Word and truth is the essence of the Spirit of Truth (the Holy Ghost) in the power of the Father's will that bears witness to the certainty of His Word. Still, some people say, "Yes, grace merely asks us to live the best we can as we did before we were saved, because God is loving." To them:
By definition, grace is not a covering for sin or avoidance of repentance claiming God made them that way. It's worth knowing, the Word says some people are the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction.
Are you a vessel fitted for destruction? Choose life!
Yes. Before the fall of man, he only knew goodness. After the fall, man gained the capability to know evil because he chose it. Thus, from the first transgression, all of mankind came to possess the knowledge of good and evil. God wasn't surprised by mankind's disobedience and transgression of His will. The conscience of man now knows right from wrong.
Many, however, ignore their conscience and avoid repentance from sin for so long that it becomes shipwrecked or seared shut.
Others, even those professing to be saved, are prone to dead works that satisfy their flesh, and each other, but not God.
They do them to appease God as if saying, "its good enough for us, so it's good enough for Him." In fact, God said:
Therefore, to all with a damaged conscience or a churchy life filled with dead works:
