Gods grace changes the believer, enables man to live upright godly Lives. it does not in any way negate our responsibility to live in obedience to God. how we live determines our eternal destination. Grace came by the suffering and death of Jesus. forgave all our sins and gave us for free a brand new spirit, clean and born of God. the purpose of this is to learn and grow in the nature of Jesus, by following and applying His teachings to life. grace doesn't take away the importance of how we live, it gives us grace to live right. to be a slave to righteousness as we once were slaves to sin. but paul even says clearly again andagain.
you are a servant of who you obey whether it is sin which leads to death, or righteousness wich leads to eternal life. grace doesn't take our responsibility away, it enables us to live up to it. grace is awesome. it is mistaught by the modern grace doctrine. not what paul taught jesus taught james taught john taught...they all taught obedience to the gospel because of the grace which was poured upon us and made us new and clean. simply this doctrine of grace grace, is false. grace is true, the false teaching of grace is not. grace doesn't mean you say jesus is lord and now you can never sin enough, never do enough wrong to end up in hell. that's ridiculous according to scripture.
jesus himself, paul, john, peter, james all make very clear how you live, what you say, what you think all of these things have a place in determining eternal life of the other destination. grace. doesn't change God or His standards or his holiness. it takes our sin away and teaches us to live right before God.
titus 2:11-12 "For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age."
that's Grace. its not a free pass, its repentance, overcoming worldly passions and a teaching to live upright and godly lives. that's what Gods grace is this is pauls writing here. grace is not what is taught by this false doctrine. it is our forgiveness, our teaching, our strengthening, our new life, our freedom from sin and so much more. to stand in grace is to press on toward the goal of the nature of Christ, the nature taught in His teachings. grace doesn't change the word, it changes the man
