THE REALLY BIG LIE

     Most everyone hates a liar.  What is a lie anyhow?  The word lie is defined by Merriam Webster as an intransitive verb meaning...
1 : to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive,
2 : to create a false or misleading impression.     
     Although nearly everyone hates a liar, it's really strange that so many are falling for the last days lie we call "GRACE".  Satan is not dumb...he's been at this deception business a lot longer than we've been alive.  He's no different than he was in the Garden of Eden.  The Bible tells us...1 Timothy 4:1 (KJV)1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Look what this Scripture says.."in the latter times" {last days} some shall depart from the faith
[Paul is referring to the faith once given to the Saints Jude 1:3], giving heed [listening to] seducing spirits [demonic spirits that draw you away from God through lies] and doctrines of devils [man-made doctrines inspired by demons who have no intent but to deceive.]
Definition of doctrine
1 archaic : teaching, instruction
2 a : something that is taught
  b : a principle or position or the body of principles in a branch of knowledge or system of belief Notice the very first definition by Webster is teaching...the Bible records...

2 Timothy 4:3 King James Version (KJV)
   3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

     Bring on the Deceivers...there's a group of folks out there who no longer want to be associated with "sound doctrine", hence the demonic invention known as "the Grace Doctrine".
     God's grace is just that...grace, plain and simple.  But to think one can have grace that will cover whatever sins we commit as we stand before the Judge on Judgement Day is a lie fabricated by a devil who has used a carnal preacher to deceive you,  Paul said it this way...
Romans 6:1-2 King James Version (KJV)1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Those same deceivers are the ones who say "works are really not necessary for salvation...all you need is faith and grace."
     As a Minister of the Gospel, I wish that were true.  But that's a big lie [an untrue statement with intent to deceive].  The clowns teaching this type of stuff as the Gospel are purposely teaching it to draw a crowd and to fill their own coffers.  It would be so easy if that was the truth...to prove the point, let's look to the Bible story of Noah.  Many look at this story and point out the reason Noah and his family was saved was because he found grace.  That is right, but that's only partially right...let's read the Scripture...
Genesis 6:5-8 King James Version (KJV)
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Notice, the Scripture lets us know that God was pretty much fed up with the sinfulness of the people that inhabited the earth at that time.  God has decided to destroy the earth and start over...but then it is recorded that one man...Noah by name...has found "Grace" in the eyes of the Lord.  So if grace alone can save us, then Noah should be just swooped up by the Lord just like He did Enoch and not have to do anything to save himself from sudden destruction.  Noah, [according to the awesome grace teachers] has found grace and no works are necessary for he and his family to be saved...WRONG...A REALLY BIG LIE.  Let's look at the rest of the Scripture text about Noah...

13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

God gave Noah the plans for an ark [a safe place]...but look what God told him..."make thee an ark of gopher wood"..."this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of"...in other words God was letting Noah know he was going to have to build the ark himself if he was going to save himself and his family from the destruction God was about to bring to the earth.  God never offered to build the ark, but He provided the plans for it.  If Noah had believed as some of these preachers teach today, he would have just leaned on God's grace and would have been saved.  But that's never been God's plan.  The reason God was about to destroy the planet in the first place was due to man's sinfulness.  The Bible records that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.  The grace of God provided an escape for Noah and his family, but it was only through Noah's works that they were saved.  God in His infinite wisdom has provided a plan of Salvation for the last days church.  He lets us know in Acts chapter 2 that His plan is for us to repent, be baptized in Jesus name for the remission of our sins, and to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.  We are to live holy lives, separated from the world and it's sinful nature...just as Noah lived obviously free from sin, separated from the sinful world around him and was able to save his household through his works.  The only way you will be saved from this sinful world is to come out from among them, do the works God has provided to separate you from sin and no longer serve sin, but rather, serve God in the midst of this sinful world.  Don't be deceived by the really big lies of satan and his workers.
