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;
When you listen to some folks preach, they imply that those of us who preach pure grace are giving the body of Christ the license to sin. Those who say this kind of stuff don’t really understand the grace gospel. There is no where in scripture that it says that it is okay to sin and indulge in the wrong way of life.
Grace came to deliver us from sin. The law made slaves of men; grace came to free us and made us sons of God, with full rights. The law strengthened sin while grace came to free us from sin. How can something that freed you from sin be the reason for sinning?
I have seen and heard terrible things some believers have done in some of these so called churches (Aaronic churches) that are anti grace. What truly frees people is grace. And this grace of God teaches us to deny ungodliness. Any preacher of grace who says it is okay to sin since grace is available doesn’t know the grace of God in truth.
If you study the epistles of Paul who is known as the Apostle of grace, you will see how much he instructed the church on holy living. The revelation of the grace of God is what births true intimacy with God.
The only message that I have preached that have brought me opposition is on complete forgiveness of sins. And that was the same accusation levelled against Apostle Paul: should we sin that grace may abound? If this accusation is not levelled against you, I guarantee you that you are not preaching pure grace.
Grace is what frees people from sin and gives them a pure conscience before God, to serve Him without guilt or condemnation. Peter admonishes us to grow in grace. How can we be instructed by the Holy Spirit to grow in something that gives us the license to sin? Don’t you think you are tempting God?
