People are filled with excuses. They have used Grace like there is no tomorrow and then they claim they're not under the law. But then we have non-believers who also abused Grace. And this is not to blame true Christians but this is to tell the truth because God prunes the branches. You know it's written in Scripture about the dividing implications dividing piercing through with the word of God asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. God knows what's inside your soul in your thoughts. He knows if you have understanding or if you are just a reprobate returning to your own vomit. He is the Almighty and he does not think as men think as his thoughts and his ways are higher than men's. I'm going to give you a simple analogy.
You've been given countless warnings not to speed and you have reaped up speeding tickets and even lost your license before. You took a course to satisfy the court. Now your license is reinstated and you are drinking and driving as well as texting while driving. You get pulled over by a routine traffic check one day and it's just a warning but your heart was thumping because you thought this is it they got me again. Matter of fact you go and the train rails come down on some streets but you go around them and break the law but you don't get caught yet. You realize you're pushing it. One day you drive by a cross a walk and you injure the cross guard and perhaps a pedestrian and ruin the day/life of certain people. Your excuses you are tired and your foot was itching. (Liar) You keep abusing grace and ignoring the warnings. You have little or no remorse and your only remorse or sadness and worry is that they're going to strip you of your license and they do. For a few days you are heartbroken and your Wild Friends call and want to meet for coffee to find women. You think to yourself well I can take the bus. But that is not good for you because you can't have the radio blaring ful loud. You're used to your fornication and worldliness. So you start making mends with your mind perhaps I can get away with it one more time. You tell yourself life is a risk anyways isn't it. Your friends tell you they like you because you take risks. Believe me I've heard all the excuses. You get in your car and you're off and now you get to the club or the coffee shop and you have a few drinks. Your friends tell you to leave the car there and come back and get it tomorrow. To take the bus home. But you're just too hard-headed and cool that you can't do that. So Mr risk taker takes the risks and causes a major accident and now the liability is within the Millions. You cause great structural damage to some government property or building. So why am I saying all this? On the day of judgment when people hear I never knew you they misunderstood the heart has to be changed and right with God. That's why Christ said that a man must be born again. John 3:3 you can say well I'm saved and all my sins past present and future are paid for and the same excuse in the mind and you take grace for granted and abuse your position in the body of Christ.
I heard it all before (Jesus)
