Are 'Grace preachers' truly struggling with sin?

   ARE ‘GRACE PREACHERS’ TRULY STRUGGLING WITH SIN?

The major work, functions or sides of Grace revealed in the Bible are

   1)    God’s forbearance or patient with sinners. The first function, side or work of Grace is that it covers the sinner temporary from the wrath of God against sin. Note that we say, ‘temporary’. That means God would certainly judge sins and sinners. This could be understood from Paul the Apostle’s remark: ‘’ shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?’’ (Rom 6:1). This would be better understood in ECCL. 8:11. It reads: ‘’because the sentence against evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of men is fully set in them to do evil’’.

   2)    God’s empowerment to abstain from sin. This is what Paul in Titus when he says:’’for the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lust, we should live soberly, righteously and godly in the present age…’’ Grace is that seed of God that gives you dominion over lust and sin (Cons. 1 John 3:9).

    3)    Strength to achieve the unimaginable. Grace also empowers you to achieve great life result. It empowers you to fulfill God’s dream and will for you ( see 2cor. 12:9; Acts 4:33).

But very unfortunately many of our Grace preachers focus on the first step of Grace. Step one is actually for sinners or backsliders. Like our heading points out, I just hope those Grace preachers are not simply like my friend who just because he fell into fornication which he could not disengaged from for years suddenly turned into Grace preachers?  We just need to re-examine yourself.
