Born Again is not a License to Sin!

Being born again is not a license to sin, it is the ability through the Holy Spirit not to sin. The hyper-grace nonsense is not of God, the idea that sin doesn't matter any more because we are under grace is not Biblical and it grieves the heart of God.

Ephesians 4:29-31 "…29 Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.…"

God clearly tells us to rebuke and admonish daily one another to grow in grace. He would never tell us to do this if sin didn't matter anymore.

Titus 1:12-14 "…12 As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth."

Those who defend sin to be able to engage in it or defend others who are in it, are defying the commands of God to discipline those who are sinning.

Matthew 18:15-17
Discipline and Prayer
15 “If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.
16 But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector."

Now days it is impossible to take a matter to the church because the church is now defending sin. They refuse to address shacking-up, divorce, remarriage and almost all other sins that are rampant in the church gatherings today.

When the leaders in the church fight with those who speak the truth and defend those who are in error there is nothing left to do but get out of those places. In places like this sin is elevated and defended while Christ is diminished as an add on to the lives the parishioners decide they want to live.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"

These are the times we are living in right now!!! But don't be discouraged, God said it would be this way. It is one of the signs that Christ will be taking His church out soon! Hallelujah!
