Since the resurrection of Jesus, there has been a decline in the reverence, respect, and honor of God. One noticeable reason as to why the reverence of God declined is the abuse of grace. Grace is the unmerited or undeserving favor of God through Christ Jesus. We deserve a cursed life destined for eternal death, but grace intervened.

In the Old Testament, where grace was not available, those who lacked reverence and respect received public punishments. Cities were destroyed, people lost their sanity, and the curse was apparent in a person’s life. Now we’re under grace and the punishment for our sins was placed on Jesus. We no longer see the plagues and curses we read about in the Old Testament.

Due to the lack of punishment, people become bolder and feel justified to publicly question the existence of God and engage or promote behavior that opposes the Word of God.

Instead of abusing the grace of God because there’s no punishment, let’s live a life of gratitude for the sacrifice made by Jesus. Instead of agreeing with the contrary ideas of the world, let’s keep our stance and promote the Word of God. Let’s enlighten the minds of people in this darkened world to return to reverence, respect, and honor by explaining the correct picture of grace.

Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
