The Tragedy Of The Abuse Of Grace

SUNDAY 20^TH JULY 2025

TOPIC: THE TRAGEDY OF THE ABUSE OF GRACE

 SCRIPTURE: For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despise Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:  Hebrews 10:26-28

 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The abuse of grace leads to eternal damnation.

The present wave of satanic doctrines and teachings reveal that there are people who live anyhow they want in the name of grace. Some preachers teach that once you are saved, you are permanently and eternally saved even if you continue to live consciously and actively in sin. That is a lie from the pit of hell; that is an abuse of grace.

The essence of grace is to make us wax strong in the spirit (Luke 2:40). Grace makes people to be Christ-like in every aspect. It teaches people to deny ungodliness and worldly lust, thereby empowering them to live soberly in righteousness and godliness in this present world (Titus 2:11-12). Grace causes people to abound unto good work (2Corinthians 9:8). So, grace imparts the power to live right, not a license to live wrong.

Jude 1:4-5 (NLT) says,…some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not remain faithful.

So, there is nothing like if you are saved today, you remain saved permanently forever.

Verse 6 and 7 of Jude says, And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. God has kept them securely chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the great day of judgment. And don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God’s judgment.

Beloved, the truth is, the abuse of grace leads to eternal damnation. To claim that grace is a license to live anyhow is to find oneself in eternal hell where there is no way out. Everyone can go to church but not everyone can go to heaven. So, refuse to be caught up in the web of satanic teachings that have come to usher many people to hell.

You will not be a victim in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: The abuse of grace leads to eternal damnation.
