Discerning Truth and Error about God's Grace

The most common area of false teaching is that which perverts biblical understanding of the grace of God. They pervert God’s grace by reducing its message to receiving forgiveness without repentance and seeking to make people comfortable with God while continuing in their sin.

The grace message inspires us to deny lust and gives us power to walk godly. We want the true teaching on grace because that is the only way that we will experience God’s power in our spirit.

Much of the “grace teaching” in the body of Christ is not true grace teaching. It is distorted because it empowers compromise and passivity as it gives people false confidence in their relationship with God. Grace is not an insurance policy to the unrepentant nor a license to live in compromise because of God's unconditional love (which is not given to unrepentant people).
