Cheap Grace

A
AbideinHim Jan 27, 2021

""We have heard the voices of those in ministry and the political and social arenas, who are now encouraging those on the Christian conservative right to recognize that the election is over, acknowledge Biden as the winner, and just "move” on. They tell us that we should be seeking reconciliation and unity with the liberal left...(Democrats, socialists, globalists, et al).
Their flawed suggestion is that we should not "judge” them, but be "Christ-like”, willing to overlook their sin, and love and forgive them...(translation: not hold them accountable for their fraud, corruption and wickedness!) What they fail to mention is that God does not ignore or overlook sin, and that in order to be forgiven, a person must acknowledge sin and repent for it. Until that takes place, those who have sinned against Him are living under His judgment."

"...Sadly, we live in a time and culture that not only teaches cheap grace but praises it. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the great German pastor, theologian, and martyr was asked in 1943 how it was possible for the Church to sit back and let Hitler seize absolute power. His firm answer: "It was the teaching of cheap grace. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ."
(Excerpt from the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call)

Hi, according to me, we judge others very soon, which we should not. We must understand the perspectives first and then pass any judgements towards anything.
