The more and more I think about God's grace, the more I think about my response toward Him. Is my response towards Him holy and upright? Or Is my response ungratefulness and disrespectful?
In 2 Cor. 13:5 is says, " Test Yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or Do you not recognize that Christ is in you?" Paul is destroying this false notion that all it takes is a "prayer" to save you and there is no need for commitment to God. Newsflash: You cant be a Christian and live in complete Rebellion against God. That is why Paul is saying Check yourselves. He is saying, "Are you living out your salvation?" "Can you see Christ in you?" or Have you been claiming the title but deep down know that you are far from God?
God's Grace is Big. God's Grace is Sufficient. I am not saying that if you sin you are not saved- if that was the case nobody could find saving Grace in Him. What I am saying is, If you are truly saved, you will produce fruit. (James 2:14-24) If you are not seeing ANY fruit, you need to check to see if you are in the Faith.
SO what is your response towards God? Are you Producing Fruit? or have you been unproductive? I leave you with this thought: We don't serve God so that we can be accepted; we are accepted no matter what, that is why we serve and obey.
I love you guys. Lets Produce.
