The Word Will Always Offend The Disobedient
I find it strange that when you speak of mercy and grace everyone praises you but as soon as you speak of the precepts that God has given us its a problem. Instantly you're judging and not moving in love. The fact is the word will always seem offensive when you're not living right. That was the whole issue with the Pharisees they could not stand Jesus because he brought for the truth of the gospel. If the wages of sin is death then one needs to know what that sin is. You can't keep making a whole gospel on new houses and new cars, it has to be the truth that living a righteous life is the only way to enter heaven. God says you must believe in Jesus and follow his precepts. The bible speaks against drunkenness, fornication, profanity, obscene behavior, and other evil deeds (Ephesians 5;1-7). Look around the devil is moving hardcore and the bible is being fulfilled right before our eyes. The bible has proved it self true. The bible says we must be the salt and light.( Matthew 5;13 You are salt of the earth. But if salt loses it saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.)
You see if you don't carry yourself has an ambassador of Christ no one will know the difference and they will trample all over you. However, when you carry yourself as salt people will see the difference and see the benefits of the taste of your lifestyle. We have used mercy and grace as a crutch and figure as long as we have it we can abuse it. God placed it there so you can witness his love for us and compel us to want to live right and at least attempt. That's why he says that you can do anything in Christ, meaning he has given you the strength to over come every strong hold. He also says that there is a way out of every temptation. That means that if you call on him you will over power your lustful desire to do whatever it is, you can win. God has given us the ability and power.
Then, we get mad at a person who is taking God on his offer and overcomes the scheme of the enemy and we call them judges and conspire evil thoughts against them and bashed them publicly. How can a person know what sin is and what the precepts is, if a person shuns their mouth? Most people aren't reading the word for themselves and some are and blatantly disregarding everything in it. Please note this it is not judging and we can not pick and choose what we are going to abide in. ( John 15:7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.) That includes asking God to set you free from every stronghold.
The days are evil and the enemy is looking for someone to devour put on your whole armor and remember time waits for no one, we don't have forever to get it right. Never under estimate God and remember what grace and mercy truly is for. It is there to repent and continue to live for God. To live for God is to strive to live righteous and holy. Don't be deceive you will be judge by Jesus for every deed. Don't get comfortable in sin and be quick to say I have mercy and grace that is a slap in the face to God. (2 Corinthians 6;1 As God's co-workers we urge you not to to receive God's grrace in vain.)(Romans 6;1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?) I am not saying it is easy but it is possible is what I am saying. Stop getting in your feelings when someone is disclosing what you are doing behind closed doors instead repent and make it right. Thank God his mercy and grace that has given to you in a new day to get it right with him. We can't let sin reign and attack the people that is saying what is in the scriptures. Don't become the modern day Pharisee!
(Romans 6;11-14 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey it's evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.) The shifting has begun and God will disclose the wheat from the tare. God bless you and I pray you choose God and give him your whole heart, his love is so good that it should compel you to wanna change and live whole heartily.
Affirmations: I will overcome sin. God has given me authority to do so.
