LIBERTY v. LICENSE or GRACE v. LASCIVIOUSNESS
Gal 5 (KJV)
13 For, brethren, ye have been CALLED UNTO LIBERTY; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
GRACE is the LIBERTY TO SERVE GOD.
Exo 9 (KJV)
1 Then the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, LET MY PEOPLE GO, THAT THEY MAY SERVE ME.
Luk 1 (KJV)
74 That he would grant unto us, THAT WE BEING DELIVERED OUT OF THE HAND OF OUR ENEMIES MIGHT SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
LASCIVIOUSNESS is the LICENSE TO SERVE SELF.
Gal 5 (KJV)
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only USE NOT LIBERTY FOR AN OCCASION TO THE FLESH, but by love serve one another.
TO WALK IN LIBERTY, YOU MUST DENY SELF.
Luke 9 (KJV)
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, LET HIM DENY HIMSELF, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
TO WALK IN LASCIVIOUSNESS, YOU MUST DENY THE LORD
Jude (KJV)
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, TURNING THE GRACE OF OUR GOD INTO LASCIVIOUSNESS, AND DENYING THE ONLY LORD GOD, AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
2 Peter 2 (KJV)
2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, EVEN DENYING THE LORD THAT BOUGHT THEM, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
VERDICT:
For a child of God; believer in Christ Jesus, to walk in lasciviousness, he would first DENY THE LORD.
DENYING THE LORD for a Saved Person is not so easy.
It means DISOWNING YOUR SAVIOUR.
It means UNDOING YOUR SALVATION.
2 Tim 2 (KJV)
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
See? DENYING HIM means 'BELIEVE NOT'.
DENYING HIM means YOU STOPPED TAKING UP YOUR CROSS (your own personal experience of Christ's finished work).
It means YOU STOPPED FOLLOWING CHRIST.
DENYING HIM means YOU BEGAN TO TRUST IN YOUR SELF AND NOT THE LORD.
This is the REAL REASON SINCERE BELIEVERS GO INTO ERROR. THEY HAVE FALLEN FROM GRACE.
Read this scripture.
Galatians 5:3-5New English Translation (NET Bible)
3 And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4 You who are trying to be declared righteous by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace! 5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait expectantly for the hope of righteousness.
TAKE NOTE OF THE ISSUE OF 'CIRCUMCISION' and read the scripture below,
Philippians 3:2-4 (KJV)
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, AND
HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE FLESH.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
CIRCUMCISION IN THE FLESH is the epitome of confidence in self outside of Christ's finished works.
Phil 3 (KJV)
9 AND BE FOUND IN HIM, NOT HAVING MINE OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is of the law, BUT THAT WHICH IS THROUGH THE FAITH OF CHRIST, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF GOD BY FAITH:
RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION:
1. STANDING AND WALKING IN LIBERTY IS STANDING AND WALKING IN GRACE.
2. IF YOU TRUST IN FLESH YOU WILL WALK IN LASCIVIOUSNESS
