There is not a (proper) way to preach grace because grace is not a one layer thing nor is it black and white. Far to many people teach and preach grace without first having an actual understanding of it and no matter what your belief of how grace works or how to preach it I am sure a lot of you would agree with me about people teaching and preaching it without first understanding it.
Obedience and grace are both polar opposites and yet also two sides of the same coin because one can be obedient but without grace you cannot ever hope to measure up and on the other hand if one relies so much on grace that they don't bother to be obedient. Grace has never been a free ticket to do as you please but it also more than often used like that. There is a man who lived with us for a while and he did drugs cussed a a lot and lived a very sinful lifestyle yet he was absolutely certain that because of grace he would go to heaven if he died. This is not a man who is grateful for grace nor is it a man who has even an inkling of an understanding of grace.
Those who know what it is like to come from a state of being absolute scum and filth not even daring to think God would forgive them or see anything good in them at all are so grateful for grace that they would never abuse it, obedience comes from and with grace you cannot have one without the other. It's the same with works and faith yes works without faith is dead but so is visa versa faith produces works and works produces faith just as grace produces obedience and obedience also produces grace.
Not everyone is qualified to teach or to preach especially a complex subject as grace even though it should not be a complex subject our carnal and intellectual minds that tend to dissect even the most simple of topics make it so. I recall how grace was such a heated and fiery topic that the bdf was in mayhem and names like hypergracers were thrown around and the ones calling such names were more like a strict obedience group but the thing is there needs to be a balance between the two and sadly because of how bad things got grace was a subject that was basically almost forbidden and so the balance between the two was never really taught or understood.
not just anyone can teach or preach grace but also not just anyone can debate it either, it requires people with a decent understanding of grace and how it works and it also requires a group of people who can debate with a calm mature and loving mindset and heart and sadly such people are far and few as has been proven time and time again in the bdf. Many may think they understand grace enough that they can teach and preach it but I don't remember who said it but they were beyond wise and correct in saying we need far less teachers and much more students
