Fallen From Grace Explained
Any opponent of the the author or his co-author/s (and they DON'T care who they are trying to blast this ministry out) would point out the phrase that if you sin, you are fallen from grace. But honestly who hasn't? Okay again this ministry does not condone sin nor do the members encourage it because even eternal security (John 6:37) does not grant a license to sin because God still chastises His believers who fall into sin (Hebrews 12:5-6). Now let us explain to you reader what fallen from grace really means in this entry.
Here's a little bit of what's REALLY FUNNY- the New International Version which some of our works salvation opponents use (and they are really mentioning themselves already) however state it in Galatians 5:4 saying, "You who are trying to be justified by Law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace." while the King James says, "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the Law; ye are fallen from grace." The verse is used to show what it means to fall from grace. People who fall from grace are those who try to get absolved from blame by their OWN EFFORTS.
To look at it, people who try to justify (before God) themselves through the Law are fallen from grace. Did you read that works salvation preacher? This is in the sense that a man is never justified (absolved from blame) before God by the Law at all. That means if a person does good works in hopes of being right before God, that person has rejected God's grace in total (Galatians 2:21). If one expects to work for their salvation, they must keep the whole Law which they CANNOT (Romans 3:19, James 2:10-11, 1 John 2:18). On the other hand if a person does good works because they're saved, it's a result of God's grace that made them do good works (Ephesians 2:10). Again there is a DIFFERENCE. Works do not keep a man saved or get them saved- works happen in the Christian life as a result of being saved by faith in Jesus Christ alone. No man should ever attempt to get the glory from God.
