Fighting to Defend Sin is a very Big Clue!!!

Every time someone lies against the word of God, adding to it, or removing from it they are denying Christ.

Revelation 22:18
"18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book;"

Deuteronomy 12:32
32 “Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it."

Deuteronomy 4:2
"2 You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you."

Those who think they can ignore the words of God using the excuse that they are under grace are denying Christ Himself.

Grace does not give us license to sin, it gives us strength to avoid sin and to confess and turn from it. No where in the Word of God does God say anything remotely resembling words like; "because you are under grace you can sin all you want."

It is sin that takes people to hell and only trusting in what Christ did on the cross to pay for that sin will save us from it. From what? From sin and from hell.

Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

James 1:22
"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves."

When Christ changes us into a new creation we are changed, we hate sin as He hates sin. Anyone who does not hate sin has not been born again. We are not perfect yet while we are still trapped in this body of death, but we hate the sin that we do. We confess to be cleansed as is commanded as in:

1 John 1:9 9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Those who do not care about becoming righteous and cleansed are not born again.

Romans 12:9
"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good."

Proverbs 8:13
"The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate."

1 John 4:7-9 "7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.…"
We cannot possibly love God or others if we love our sin enough to fight to defend it. SIMPLE
