Law vs Grace (2 of 2)

Here is the thing...every Christian out there that I have witnessed misunderstands Grace...as do the legalists...they all do...here is why...one group says that Grace sets me free from sin and death...yep, scripture says that...but if we cherry pick our way to salvation, our surprise will be acute...because Grace isn't a get out of hell free card.
Here is Grace explained:

Law: Thou shall not kill
Grace: If you hate your brother, you are a murderer already

Law: Thou shall not commit adultery
Grace: If you look at a woman to desire her, you have committed the deed in your heart.

we can do this with any law...Jesus did this deliberately...not to say that He has come to destroy the Law...God forbid...the Law remains...and anyone who cannot see therefore how Grace honestly works...then they will not be subject to Grace during the Great Judgemement, at which time the books of the law shall be opened and out of there shall they be judged.

But Grace is also a two-edged sword...where God is Just to forgive when we ask...lets get real, we have scripture for y'all that try to use scripture to your advantage to justify sin...

Hebrews 10:26 ESV
For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
NIV
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,
NASB
For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
CSB
For if we deliberately go on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
NLT
Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins.
KJV
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,


Pick your poison...Grace is either Eternal Life or a man is sentencing himself to damnation...

The bottom line is this...there is a transformation that is intended to take place...this does not happen for everyone, and unfortunately, the leadership in those that they trust isn't often strong enough to recognize when the process isn't completed for some reason...and everyone moves forward as though it has, through faith or something misguided like that...because

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2

If that transformation has not occurred for that individual, they will not trust themselves and bewitch themselves back under the law therefore placing themselves back under the law by their own choice...if that transformation has occurred...then written law is lower because Grace deals with the heart...it isn't punitive, its preventative.

Romans 2:14-15 NLT
Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. [15] They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right.

God Bless...
