I remember way back in Bible College writing a doctrinal paper titled, “Falling From Grace And Getting Back Up”. This was the era when the help pendants and such were becoming popular with such as are adorned with silver hair.
Grace is God giving to us that which we do not deserve. If we received just deserts then we would be in hell for all eternity. Having said this, I want you to know that in my life I have been the target of so-called “saints” who believed that God Amazing Grace was too good for a wretch like me. Such is life. The truth is they are correct. The truth is that God does not call the qualified; but, He qualifies the called. When I got a handle on that. Well, you can imagine.
When we know for sure a brother or sister has fallen we need to respond in a manner consistent with the Word of God. Look at what He says about restoring the fallen in Galatians 6:1, “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.” I thank God for restoration and God’s grace.
So, how are you doing?
