Jude 1:4 PEV I talk like this because there are some bad people that secretly came into your group. That mob don’t want to do the things that God wants. Instead, they do all the bad things that they want to do. They reckon it is all right to do those bad things. They say, “God is good to us, so he lets us do these bad things.” Whenever they say that, they are really trying to change God’s true message. And they are turning away from Jesus, our only true boss. But God says in his book that he will punish those bad people.

Unfortunately, there are people who pervert the grace of God and it must be addressed. Grace is not a license to sin. It’s not an opportunity to do what we want, say how we feel, or engage in whatever activities that come to mind then say, “God’s grace has forgiven me.”

Does this make the message of grace bad? Absolutely not. Grace is not bad. That person’s perspective of grace has been perverted.

Grace gives us an opportunity to not feel condemned or horrible after we’ve missed the mark. Grace allows us to know that God’s not mad at us if we sin. Grace gives us another chance to get it right. Grace let’s us know no matter how many times we’ve sinned, we’re never too far gone for salvation. 

Grace was never meant for our lustful desires to have its way. It’s to continue our relationship with God without feeling guilty. If you think otherwise, you must renew your mind to the truth of God’s word and put grace in its proper place (Rom. 12:2).
