Grace is not a means by which God excuses the same sinful behavior today that He condemned yesterday, but of course you know that, my brother. Grace and mercy are respectively getting what we don't deserve and not getting what we do deserve.Grace both covers and converts don't you think ? I think we need to define what we mean by cover. When a man covers a sin it's considered hiding it but when Yahweh covers the sin it means He doesn't hold it against the man.
Psa 32:1-2 KJV A Psalm of David, Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. (2) Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
What do you think ?
As converts, our choice to return once again to a sinful course separates us from Him and the longer we despise His gracious pleadings to return to Him, the more perilous the ground upon which we stand becomes. Eventually, we will "quench the Spirit", or lose the ability to feel our need to return to Him just as a cool glass of water quenches one's thirst so that he doesn't feel thirsty anymore. Having grieved Him, He tearfully gives up and leaves us as guilty of having committed the Unpardonable Sin - any sin from which we do not repent, while we continue on our course in blissful ignorance that we have even done so. No man can serve two masters and trees only bear one kind of fruit. I want to be a slave to Jesus and bring forth fruits of repentance and obedience.
