I have been observing this phenomenon for some time now. It is strange that when I attempt to describe the concept of true grace, the more accurately I convey the magnificence of the gift, the more opposition I face from some people. It is as if someone offered you a million dollars with no strings attached, and you became upset because there was nothing you had to do to receive it.Why do people oppose the teaching of freedom? One reason may be that they are concerned about Christian liberty. They may believe that if people are taught that they are free to sin, they will take advantage of that freedom and not take their faith seriously. Another reason may be that they believe that grace is not really a free gift if we have to show that we deserve it in some way. They may believe that if we must prove ourselves worthy of grace, then salvation is not such a great gift after all.The more we need grace, the greater the grace that is available to us. Grace is only necessary because we have sinned. Why do we try to convince ourselves that we don't need to be saved, when that very act demonstrates our need for grace? The whole point of being saved is that we need grace to overcome our sin.I tell people that if they are going to weigh grace against the law, they need to be aware of the implications of the law. Because they do not see the importance of the freeness of grace. I believe that we can only grow when we are most free because in salvation we receive the full gift. I describe this as everything we are told not to do being already programmed in us in a spiritual sense, and every good thing being allowed to prosper.Although we may sometimes fail, we are not reduced to our old relationship with the law. Let me explain further. Freedom is real freedom - it's not the freedom that we are given at the beginning and then taken away in sanctification. We become free by being reminded that we are. We already intuitively know we are sinners. We are not in the position of atoning for ongoing sin. The atonement is really, truly finished. And this means that we are justified in justifying our actions, even though we are sinners.
