The best time to preach the grace you speak about so passionately is with those fellow christians who disagree with you. How? Through your life lived.
Talk is cheap. The Gospel is not meant to be know by its doctrine, but by its passion. Its meant to be known by its passion because its not meant to be an incorporation into your life, but it’s meant to become your life.
I find it so interesting that Jesus said that the world will know we are His disciples through the LOVE we have for one another. Yet, it seems that all a lot of Christian’s do is bicker and fuss instead of love despite agreement. Just an observation.
Jesus didnt come because we loved Him and agreed with Him. He came driven by His own love for us. It was completely one-sided on His part. Why then, do we demand others “clean up” before we show them the grace we preach?
I’m not saying I don’t make mistakes. But the church isn’t meant to be a club where there are “insiders” or “outsiders”. Good people, and bad people. What is that? This isn’t a morality game as its been taught, but a relationship. This whole thing has been wrapped up and delivered to us freely, apart from any effort on our end. A gift completely bought, wrapped, and delivered to all mankind as a gift.
Yessss. Live it out. People listen to your actions more than they do your words.
