It seems that the people who push grace the most understand it the least. To have grace means to not judge others, yet the most judgmental people in the world are grace pushers. And this follows human nature. Unless the flesh has been dealt with at the cross...the old nature will latch onto grace like a swine to mud.
So then how do we stop people from claiming grace for themselves BEFORE the old nature and the old ways of the flesh are eliminated? Well, you simply can't. The message is out....and a lot of people own a bible and know how to read...so that's that.
But there is something we can do...we can humble ourselves (again normally grace purveyors are the least humble people in the world) and see just how merciful we are to others who are not like us.
Are we harder on people than God is?
Do people see us as filled with love?
What is our grace doctrine doing for us? Has it fooled us into being a judgmental unloving person?
