Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto GOOD WORKS, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
So now that we who have believed in Jesus have all received the Righteousness of God by nature, does it matter whether we live right? Why not continue to sin, seeing that we have Eternal Forgiveness in Christ? After all, don’t we have Unending Grace?
You see, there is a difference between RIGHTEOUSNESS and RIGHT LIVING. One has to do with your BEING/NATURE, the other has to do with your DOING/WORKS. One results in SALVATION, the other in REWARDS. One is the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD in you, the other is called the ‘RIGHTEOUSNESSES OF THE SAINTS’. There is a very very BIG difference.
This is where the Bible says, MANY SHALL SUFFER LOSE. It’s not enough to be saved, sanctified and satisfied. What I call the ‘SSS TAG’. We have been SAVED to do GOOD WORKS(Eph 2:10). I asked you a question yesterday, that, “After you have received all the Graces that exist in Christ Jesus, what did you do with them?” That will be the Father’s question to you at the end of this age.
GRACE IS NOT AN ALLOWANCE TO SIN, IT IS A CAUSE FOR GOOD WORKS. WHAT WORKS HAVE YOU BUILT WITH THE MUCH GRACE YOU HAVE RECEIVED IN CHRIST? Selah!
GRACEFUL MORNING
