Some of us hear the good news of God’s grace and shrink back. It seems hard to believe it. “It’s too good to be true,” we say. “I’d better cover myself by doing works”. On the other hand, we feel comfortable when we hear the ‘mixed’ message that states steps, rules to do to get what we already have in Christ, why? Because we are all prune to comfort zone, and the old covenant provided this convenient for man’s flesh to thrive, do you see the danger? You cannot cover yourself. This is idol-worship. You are elevating yourself to co-savior with Christ. You are insulting the Spirit of grace by trying to pay for what God has already given you. This is why sermons that put the emphasis on you and your performance are dangerous. Be careful when you sit under any message that purports to give you a list of keys or steps that will help you achieve/accomplish/appropriate what you already have. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and the sweat of men to take away sins and it is faithless to strive for what you already have (every good thing!). According to Hebrews there are only two kinds of people; those who don’t enter because of their unbelief and those who believe and are saved. Sin is not the variable; faith is. Where does faith come from? Jesus! He is the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Heb 12:2). Fix your eyes on Him. You have all, I mean all. Yes, in Him!
