Quiet agree but far to many trample grace underfoot as if it was cheap, in that it never accomplished what it had set out to. It has but very few believe it, and so set them selves rules and laws that they must abide in to finish off the works Christ already completed. It is finished. Done all over, payment complete, accomplished. Now believe.
Cheap grace is about treating God's salvation sample as enough without seeking God's face or surrendering their carnal natures over to be crucified. IOW people are in it for the thrills and chills...not to actually follow Christ.
Jesus passed through the loss of all things in order to give Himself as a sacrifice for this world.
Real disciples and followers of Christ do the very same...as living sacrifices themselves...NOT just taking advantage of the sacrifice of another.Cheap grace means we give lip service to God but refuse to BE the living sacrifice of a true follower of Christ.
WE are to be those living sacrifices now...counting all things as loss in this world so that we become truly connected to Jesus by taking up His life.
We are to LAY HOLD on eternal life...not just superficially claim we already have eternal life.
But modern people want their flesh AND the Spirit too. But these are contrary to one another.
So then many will suffer great loss on judgment day because they steal from God ...and to these He will come as a thief....to steal back His glory. And many lie and bear a false witness of Christ and His ways. Jesus will deny that these are His.
Unless we are willing to suffer the same kind of loss as Jesus...we have no part with Him.
