True Grace, The Key To Successful Christian Living
"Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God's law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. 19 So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God's laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven."(Matthew 5:17-19 NLB) Well, Jude says, "ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into lawlessness"contradict (deny or disown) Jesus and put words in His mouth. Grace is not a license to ignore God's written commands!
"For certain men have crept in stealthily [gaining entrance secretly by a side door]. Their doom was predicted long ago, ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)." [Jude 1:4 AMP]
In the first generation of the church, repentance and the grace of God were already attacked and distorted by false teachers. Remember, our Lord warned us "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing..." [Matt 7:15 (NKJV)]
