Grace to live right

once saved always saved ? This statement is not scriptural and can easily create a wrong perception that we can live as we please .I am sure that somewhere in christian circles you would have heard this statement.The fact is that the Word of God clearly states that we ought to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.We are saved by " grace " it is the gift of God ( salvation is a gift from God ) eph. 2:8 (kjv) There is so much preaching going on about the grace of God and the truth is you cannot preach grace without putting the fear of God in there with it. Grace is not a license for us to live as we please and do whatever we want to . Yes the blood of Jesus has cleansed us from all unrighteousness , but the blood has also brought us nigh unto Him , the Holy and Almighty God whom we should fear with a holy fear that shuns the very appearance of evil as Paul said.The fact is that many of God's people want only to hear about the Grace and the Goodness of God. There are many sides to God. Yes God is love but He is also Holy and righteous. We only have one life here on this earth and it is God's mercy that we are alive and have the privelige to speak to people about Jesus and all that He has done for us.
