Relentless Grace: Cheap Grace
The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman
caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said
to Jesus, ‘Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In
the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do
you say?...’ …He straightened up and said to them, ‘If any one of you
is without sin, let him be the first throw a stone at her…’ At this,
those who heard began to go away one at a time, …until only Jesus
was left with the woman still standing there. Jesus… asked her,
‘Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?’ ‘No one sir,’
she said. ‘Then neither do I condemn you,’ Jesus declared. Go now
and leave your life of sin.’
John 8:3-11
If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone
at her…
John 8:7
Then neither do I condemn you.
John 8:11
Go now, and leave your life of sin.
John 8:11
1. The __________________/___________________ dynamic
(Jesus) came… full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
“Grace is accepting relationship. Truth is what is real; it
describes how things really are. Truth without grace is just
judgment. But grace without truth is just deception.”
Henry Cloud
What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may
increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any
longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into
Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried
with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ
was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too
may live a new life.
Romans 6:1-4
I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on
among you – something that even pagans don’t do. I am told that a
man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother. You are so
proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and
shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship. Even
though I am not with you in person, I am with you in Spirit. And as
though I were there, I have already passed judgment on this man in
the name of the Lord Jesus… you must throw this man out… …Don’t
you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the
whole batch of dough? When I wrote to you before, I told you not to
associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. But I wasn’t talking
about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat
people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid
people like that. I meant that you are not to associate with anyone
who claims to be a believer yet indulges in (such sins)… Don’t even
eat with such people. It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but
it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church
who are sinning. God will judge those on the outside; but as the
Scriptures say, ‘You must remove the evil person from among you.’
I Corinthians 5:1-13
