If the is one thing God has showed his love for us is by his grace. Through his grace he has shown mercy and his love. However the are some people who plays with the same grace and use it as a license to commit immorality.

Some of our brothers and sisters in Christ keep sinning and hiding behind the grace of God knowing that God is a loving Father who will keep forgiving them no matter how many times they backslide. Some intentionally engage in immoral acts knowing that  God will forgive them when they repent.

The are many stories of bad things done by our brothers and sisters in Christ and how they have lured the weak to commit evil acts using the name of the Lord. Some “Men of God” have made news headlines for committing evil acts using the name of the Lord.

They hide behind the name of Jesus and has used it to dupe innocent people and so doing used it as a license to commit immorality. Because of their acts, some people have lost faith in Christianity resulting in souls being  lost for Christ.

As  children of God, Jesus died for us and was crucified so that  we can get God’s grace. It is by God’s grace that we can do some of the things that the world cannot do. His grace brings favour in our lives which brings blessings, prosperity and other good things. We must not abuse the grace of God and engage in immorality, by so doing we are crucifying Christ all over again and denying him.

We need to watch how we live. We must not use the grace of God as a license to immorality. Just because our sins has been forgiven and we are born again doesn’t mean we should do as we please and behave recklessly.

Jesus didn’t die for nothing, his death enabled God to have  mercy on us and gave us his grace. If we engage in immorality we are denying Christ because he died so that we cannot be slaves to sin but to have life and have it abundantly. His death reconciled us to God our Father and being called his children is the most beautiful thing ever.

God is watching us always, he never sleeps. You may do things in secret or far away from people just to protect your image but you cannot hide anything from God. He see’s everything including what’s in your heart. Don’t think because people don’t see you when you  engage  in immorality God doesn’t. He sees  you and you will answer to him and not people. Fear God than people.

Do not take the grace of God for granted. Don’t abuse it because any day can be your last day on earth and you don’t want to die having lost this precious gift. Thank God for his grace in your life because  It is because of it that you are alive.

It is because of it that you have a job, parents, money, friends, wife/husband, children and all you have.
