EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH Pt.2

January 28, 2015 · Lanre Oyeleke · 3 views

Jude1:3,...' it was needful for me to write unto you... that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints...(4)... BECAUSE some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that GOD'S MARVELOUS GRACE ALLOWS US TO LIVE IMMORAL LIVES.(KJV&NLT)

I once read a story about a sister who was sexually involved with her pastor. The Pastor took advantage of her and other sisters in church but they didn't have the boldness to speak out. The lady summoned courage to tell the pastor that what they were doing was wrong but the pastor replied by telling her not to worry because there are dimensions of grace.

I have heard several teachings on grace and sincerely the devil has taken advantage of ignorance on the subject to lure people into perdition. One of such teachings is that once you are saved, you are always saved even when you are living in sin. Titus 2:11-12 made it clear that grace would teach us to do the right thing and not the wrong. You cannot indulge in wrongs and claim to walk under grace. Never. Rom6:1

Once you submit yourself to God's grace through salvation, grace take on the role of teacher that will guide you aright daily as you walk with Christ. Jude experienced what we are seeing today and that was why he warned us to contend for the true faith(sound and wholesome teachings of Christ).

Sometimes, there's just a thin line between the truth and heresy and it is hard to decipher except by God's Spirit and being exposed properly to the truth of God's word. Defend the faith.
