Let us be careful that we are not overcome by the teachings of the false grace of God that ungodly men have created and tempted us with.
We are heavily warned about this, especially in Jude's short and urgent letter and Peter's 2nd. The early saints that preached righteousness said themselves that damnable heresies would be brought in, turning the grace of God into lasciviousness (unbridled lust), causing men to deny God in works and being abominable and reprobate, even though they profess with their mouths to know God just like Paul also warned about in his epistle to Titus. It is so true today, I pray you will read these verses I list so you can see it for yourself. The true grace that brings real salvation teaches us to live GODLY LIVES in this present world, not the opposite like most believe.
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and GODLY IN THIS PRESENT WORLD" -Titus 2:11-12

"Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: a heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children which have FORSAKEN THE RIGHT WAY AND ARE GONE ASTRAY" ...."WHILE THEY PROMISE LIBERTY, THEY THEMSELVES ARE THE SERVANTS OF CORRUPTION: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought into bondage. FOR IF AFTER THEY HAVE ESCAPED THE POLLUTIONS OF THE WORLD THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, they are AGAIN entangled therein, and overcome, THE LATTER END IS WORSE WITH THEM THAN THE BEGINNING. For it had been BETTER for them TO NOT HAVE KNOWN THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, than, AFTER they have known it, TO TURN FROM THE HOLY COMMANDMENT DELIVERED UNTO THEM. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog is TURNED TO HIS OWN VOMIT AGAIN.." -2 Peter 2:14-22

"Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY MEN, TURNING THE GRACE OF GOD INTO LASCIVIOUSNESS, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which KEPT NOT their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. EVEN AS SODOM AND GOMORRHA, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth FOR AN EXAMPLE, SUFFERING THE VENGEANCE OF ETERNAL FIRE." -Jude 1:3-7
Contend for "the true faith that was ONCE delivered to the saints" like Jude, Peter, Paul and now myself urge you to do.
Preach righteousness. Don't deny God with your works, instead glorify God with them and be led by the Spirit of God EVERY STEP for the rest of your lives.
"For as many as are LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY ARE THE SONS OF GOD." -Romans 8:14
