Title: Pushing Grace rather than offering it    
  
  
  
  

    

  
  
  
  


Jesus never tried to argue anyone into believing in Him.   He simply said, 'believe me for the works sake' .   

There are many unbelievers in the world today.   

Our job is not to coerce them into believing on the Lord Jesus Christ.   Rather it is to preach the Gospel informing them of
   ➛ Christ as Lord,
   ➛ His offer of salvation and
   ➛ His judgment that will come upon those who reject Him.   

There are two critical things that must be present in order for a person to be saved:
   ➛ they must have a Love Of The Truth
   ➛ the Holy Spirit must draw them

Do not offend the Holy Spirit by begging a person to believe on Christ Jesus.   
Remember, Jesus said 'shake the dust of your feet' when the Truth is presented and rejected .   

So, what do we do with those we love who have rejected the Truth and/or chosen rebellion as a lifestyle?   
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
When a person is deceived by Satan and chooses carnality in the face of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they should be turned over to Satan for him to quickly bring them to desperation, so that they will wake up and receive the Truth and be Set Free .     

The Day Of The Lord is the return of Christ Jesus when we are gathered to Him and He wreaks destruction on the Children Of Satan.

Doing so will enable you to live in the peace, love and joy that brings Abundant Life to you.   

The alternative is that you carry a burden that does not belong to you, which you cannot resolve and, in so doing, lose the gift of Abundant Life because of another person's unbelief.   

As much as we are attached to people who are related to us, we must see them as Christ Jesus sees them.   They are no more special in His eyes than anyone else.   
For whoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
The criteria for being in the family of the Lord is laid out here.     hearing the Word, receiving the Word and doing the Word makes a person a member of the Lord`s family,

So, we see that out brothers and sisters in the Lord aught to be more precious to us than those to whom we have a DNA connection.   

Being freed from the bondage of natural family will enable us to be more effective in building the Family Of God into which every person may enter by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
