Wow!
No one can put the consequences for rejecting the grace of God in such stark terms.
Alcoholics Anonymous does precisely this.
Instead of honoring the work of the Cross, and the blood of Jesus which cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1: 7), this evil cult insults the grace of God and tramples the work which Jesus accomplished at the Cross. as though men and women must keep confessing their sins to improve themselves before the wholly holy God, in whose presence none of us can stand worthy without first receiving ourselves fully in Christ.
I refuse to do this any more.
I am against all who would reject the goodness f God, which leads to repentance, and anyone who despises the grace of God, which teaches us to say "No!" to sin and "Yes!" to righteousness!
"4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?" (Romans 2: 4)
and then
"1For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." (Titus 2: 11-14)
Paul even exhorted his young pastor-protégé not to relent from preaching this message about the grace and truth of Jesus Christ (John 1: 17):
15These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Yet sadly to this day, many churches despise preachers of the New Covenant, they have rejected the Gospel of Grace (Galatians 1:6), and they feel proud doing so!
