The Sin That Grace
Will Not Cover
|
W |
hen one first hears this title, “The Sin That Grace Will Not Cover,” he or she may be reminded of the teaching of Jesus on the sin against the Holy Spirit (Mark 3:29). However, this is not the same. The subject before us deals with the impenitent backslider. There is no forgiveness for the impenitent backslider because he refuses to repent. Forgiveness is available, but he will not avail himself of it. Therefore, he dies without the forgiving power of the grace of God. [1]
The
author of Hebrews wrote: “For it is impossible for those who were once
enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of
the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age
to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they
crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame” (Hebrews 6:4-6). A sadder condition could never be described
than to reach the point of no return because of an impenitent heart.
To
better understand this person’s awful condition, let us consider four things:
[2]
(1) The Backslider (2) His condition (3) How he Backslides (4) His fate [3]
(1) The Backslider
The word backsliding appears fifteen times in the
Bible, and must have been a favorite word of Jeremiah, because he referred to
it twelve times. It literally means: [4]
“To slide back; to lapse morally.” Backsliding was a
big problem with God’s people, Israel. For a time they would serve God, but due
to the evil nations around them, adultery and temptations to worship idols
caused them to become backsliders. Thus, they were called back to God for
repentance, but far too often they would not return. [5]
As
we turn forward to the New Testament, the problem continues. Christ, and others
who were guided by the Holy Spirit, sounded warnings against falling. To the
sleeping trio, Peter, James and John, Jesus said: [6]
“Watch
and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the
flesh is weak”
(Matthew 26:41). These men were facing dangers because they could not watch
with their Master during His great agony in the garden—even one hour (vs. 40).
Peter did not know it, but he was on his way to deny his
Lord three times (Matthew 25:34). These men needed to take heed to this
warning. [7]
The
Hebrew writer referred to the hard heart of Israel in the wilderness, and how
God swore in His wrath that they would not enter His rest (Hebrews 3:7-11).
Then he applied this to Christians: “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any
of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort
one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened
through the deceitfulness of sin” (Hebrews 3:12,13). Therefore, a weighty responsibility is
placed on all Christians to do two things: [8]
(1) To keep themselves from backsliding.
(2) To encourage other brothers and sisters
in Christ to stay faithful. [9]
The
apostle Paul practiced this plan. As to his personal life he wrote: “But I
discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to
others, I myself should become disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:27). Then to encourage the
Corinthian Christians he wrote: “Therefore let him who thinks he stands take
heed lest he fall”
(1 Corinthians 10:12). [10]
The
apostle Peter joined Paul in warning Christians against becoming backsliders.
After listing the graces that must be added to grow and be fruitful for the
Lord, he encouraged: “Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make
your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble”
(2 Peter 1:10).
[11]
There
have been those in all generations who have taught that once saved that there
is no way to become a backslider, and millions have accepted this false
doctrine without even questioning it. However, the Bible not only warns against
backsliding, but also gives examples of those who experienced it. The Galatian
Churches were in danger of backsliding because they were allowing false
teachers to rob them of their freedom in Christ. The Law of Moses had been
taken out of the way and nailed to the cross (Colossians 2:14), but these
teachers wanted to keep portions of the law alive in Christianity. [12]
Therefore,
Paul wrote: “You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be
justified by law; you have fallen from grace” (Galatians 5:4). Paul is saying that those who were
involved in this were backsliders from grace!
After
Simon the sorcerer had believed and was baptized (Acts 8:13), he became a
backslider by trying to buy the power of the Holy Spirit. Peter told him: “But
Peter said to him, ‘Your money perish with you, because you thought that the
gift of God could be purchased with money!
For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by
iniquity’ ”
Acts 8:20,23). If Simon had remained a backslider, he would have been lost
forever! [13]
Backsliding
can be (as we have found) on an individual basis or an entire church. When
Jesus wrote a letter to the church at Ephesus, He reminded them that they had
left their first love. This was a dangerous form of backsliding, and Jesus
warned: “Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the
first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from
its place—unless you repent” (Revelation 2:5). [14]
Therefore,
the backslider is one who leaves God and becomes involved with the world of
sin. [15]
The
apostle Paul had a co-worker who became a backslider. For a time, Demas was
evidently a faithful worker, but the allurement of the world pulled him away.
Paul had to sadly write: “for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this
present world, and has departed for Thessalonica” (2 Timothy 4:10). How could anyone
study these examples and still teach that backsliding is impossible! [16]
(2) His Condition
Now that we have seen the reality of
a backslider and who he is, may we further study his condition? The Bible
pictures the backslider as a worthless, depraved, and lost soul. He is described
as one with no value as to influence. Jesus taught His disciples that they were
the salt of the earth, then continued: “. . .but if the salt loses its
flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown
out and trampled underfoot by men” (Matthew 5:13). [17]
In
this verse, Jesus is comparing the backslider to salt that is worthless and
without value! Is this the way we feel about a backslider who will not repent,
or do we cheer them on in their lost condition? [18]
Perhaps
the apostle Peter pictures the hideous state of a backslider more graphically
than any other writer. Peter had personally been in that state, but had
returned. However, he had this to say about those who refuse to repent. [19]
“For
if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge
of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and
overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would
have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than
having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them” (2 Peter 2:20,21). [20]
In
simple terms, Peter is saying that a backslider is worse spiritually than an
alien sinner—one who has never been saved! They are
both lost, but Peter describes the backslider in a worse state. [21]
To
show their awful condition, Peter used two illustrations: “But it has
happened to them according to the true proverb: ‘A dog returns to his own
vomit,’ and, ‘a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire’” (2 Peter 2:22). [22]
In
view of these passages, won’t you agree that the backslider is painted as an
awful portrait? Won’t you also agree that faithful Christians are wrong to
uphold them in their awful condition? [23]
What
then, should be the attitude and responsibility of faithful Christians toward a
backslider? First of all, we should try to restore them and save them from
their lost condition. If they have NOT reached the point of no return, and will
repent, there is beautiful forgiveness available through the grace of God.
Thus, every effort should be made to save them! Paul sums up the need to save
them: [24]
“Brethren,
if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one
in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted” (Galatians 6:1). If we go to the
backslider with the wrong attitude, we will drive him farther away from God.
However, with the spirit of gentleness, there is hope of restoring him to his
love for God and the kingdom. [25]
James
emphasizes that trying to reach a backslider is serious business. “Brethren,
if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him
know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from
death and cover a multitude of sins” (James 5:19,20). Therefore, we must first make every effort
to win them back to the Lord and salvation. [26]
After
every possible effort has been made and they refuse to repent, we must give
them up to their lost state. For without repentance, there is no grace, and
without grace, it is impossible to be saved (Ephesians 2:8). Without
repentance, they continually “crucify again for themselves the Son of God,
and put Him to an open shame” (Hebrews 6:6). [27]
(3) How He Backslides
Perhaps in the majority of cases,
the backslider did not plan to get into such an awful spiritual condition.
There are some (like Demas) who just leave and go immediately into the world,
but this is not the general rule. Most backsliders leave the church gradually.
Notice a pattern that is often followed: [28]
It
may begin by losing interest in Bible classes. The one may reason, “With my
physical responsibilities, I need my rest, and worship with the Lord’s Supper
is what’s important.” Thus, the Sunday worship services become his only contact
with the church. However, in time, the Sunday evening worship is forsaken. He
further reasons, “Just so I partake of the Lord’s Supper, it’s all right!” The
next step is to miss a Sunday morning worship. This didn’t seem so bad, so he
goes for two! [29]
The
passing of time causes him to become weaker and weaker spiritually until he
shows up once a month. Shortly after this, comes the final step—NO ATTENDANCE! When brethren visit and encourage, he gives
them a long list of excuses. By this time, the heart has been hardened and the
sinful world seems even more appealing. Satan has won! [30]
Thus,
many failures have made this backsliding possible. He has not added the
Christians graces, and has spiritual eye problems. “For he who lacks these
things is “shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was
cleansed from his old sins” (2 Peter 1:9). [31]
Because
of neglect to Bible study and worship, he has failed to grow spiritually. “but
grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be
the glory both now and forever. Amen” (2 Peter 3:18). [32]
The
backslider has lost his appetite for God’s word: “as newborn babes, desire
the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,” (1 Peter 2:2). When these
ingredients (along with love for the Lord and His kingdom) are missing, it is
easy to slide back into the world! [33]
(4) His Fate
Most of those who backslide refuse
to think seriously about their fate. They evidently think that all will be well
with them, but this is false. The New Testament sounds the message loud and
clear, that without GRACE, there is no hope for salvation. The backslider, who
refuses to repent, has NO grace, NO redemption, NO atonement, and NO salvation!
Before
one chooses the way of the backslider, he should count the cost—he should count
the losses. Remember, when one backslides, there is only one winner—the devil!
The local church loses a member, and God loses a worker. [34]
Paul
wrote to the Corinthian Christians: “We then, as workers together with Him
also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain” (2 Corinthians 6:1). [35]
Christians
lose a brother or sister in Christ. Again, Paul and others must have felt a
terrible loss when Demas decided to leave for the world (2 Timothy 4:10). Also,
the community loses a good Christian influence. [36]
Jesus
compared His kingdom to LEAVEN. “Another parable He spoke to them: ‘The
kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures
of meal till it was all leavened’” (Matthew 13:33). [37]
Even
more seriously, the backslider loses his soul. As a dead branch, he is cut off
and burned (John 15:1-6). He is severed from Christ the vine, and there is NO
HOPE without repentance! [38]
Yes, there is a sin that grace will
not cover—an impenitent backslider! Will you consider the seriousness of this
sin and resolve to become a Christian and remain faithful until death
(Revelation 2:10)? This is the only way to spend eternity with God! [39]

Fruit of the Spirit
(1) — Love
|
O |
nce Paul completed his list of the awful and sinful works of the flesh that will keep one from entering the kingdom of God, he turned immediately to the contrast—the fruit of the Spirit. Just as the works of the flesh keeps one out of the kingdom, the fruit of the Spirit will be a part of those in the kingdom. [1]
These
Christian characteristics are so harmonized together to represent the way of
Christ that they are referred to by Paul as one fruit. This special fruit was
not limited to Christians of the first century, but intended for all centuries.
Therefore, let us look at these powerful fundamentals that make up the fruit of
the Spirit. [2]
Some
have wondered why Paul began this important fruit with love. Was there a
purpose, or was it just a coincidence? Some have argued that he had to begin
with one in the list, and it just happened to be love. However, there is proof
from Paul’s other writings that he intended to begin with love. This is not to
say that the other things listed are not important, but it is to say, based on
Paul’s other epistles, that all the other characteristics of the fruit of the
Spirit would lose their importance without love. [3]
When
Paul wrote his famous chapter on love in 1 Corinthians 13, he began by showing
that without love, all other good works would be useless. For example, to be
able to speak with the tongues of men and of angels without
love would be like nothing more than making noises from brass or a
clanging cymbal. [4]
Even
the gift of prophecy, and being able to understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
with a faith strong enough to remove mountains, would be nothing without love.
Paul went further by saying, “And though I bestow all my goods to feed the
poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have
not love, it profits me nothing” (1 Corinthians 13:3). [5]
To make his point stronger that love must be first, Paul
closes this chapter on love by saying, “And now abide faith, hope,
love, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13). [6]
Therefore,
love is where all of us must also begin. To the churches in Galatia, Paul
wrote: “For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use
liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through
love serve one another” (Galatians 5:13).
You will notice that he did not say, “Serve one another,” but rather, “By
love serve one another!” Paul is saying that love
makes all the difference in the world, and this is in harmony with all the word
of God. [7]
In fact, the powerful subjects of redemption and
salvation from sin are founded on love. If love were removed from salvation,
there would be NO salvation. [8]
Jesus
declared this truth to Nicodemus when He said, “For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Love motivated God to give His Son in death for
a world that was not lovable! This kind of love is opposite to the way the
world loves. With sinful man, there seems to be the rule, “If something is
lovable, love it, if it isn’t lovable, hate it!” [9]
Jesus
taught about the importance of loving those who are not lovable when He said, “For
if you love those who love you, what reward have you? ...Do not even the tax
collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven
is perfect” (Matthew
5:46-48). Jesus is teaching that we are to have the same kind of love that is
found in God, who is love (1 John 4:8). [10]
If
God had not set forth agape love, all of us would be lost forever! Paul wrote to the
Romans: “For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a
good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love
toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:7-8). God loved those who
were NOT lovable. [11]
Jesus also taught that love is the basis for everything.
One day, a scribe asked Jesus, “Which is the first commandment of
all?” (Mark 12:28).
Jesus answered by giving the first and second greatest commandment of all! What
are they? In essence He taught, you must love God supremely, and your neighbor
as yourself (Mk. 12:30,31). [12]
Jesus
concluded after giving these two: “There is no other commandment greater
than these” (Mark
12:31). Matthew records Jesus giving even a greater importance to these
commandments: “On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 22:40). Therefore, Paul
begins the fruit of the Spirit with love! [13]
Observe
further, that love will not only love the unlovable, making every effort to
help them and teach them the message of the saving gospel, but Paul says, “Love
suffers long and is kind; . . .” (1 Corinthians 13:4). As we reach out to the needs of
others, with this kind of love, we will do so with longsuffering and kindness!
[14]
Have you ever observed that as Paul tells what love
will do, he personifies love as a person? You can substitute a person where
love appears in this love chapter. For example, we can say, “God suffers long, God is kind, God
does not rejoice in
iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.” [15]
You
may say, “That is all right when substituting God for love, or Jesus for love,
but it is different when using my own name?” In this context, is it different? If we are bearing the fruit of the Spirit, can’t we
substitute our own names? Just try
using your own name in each place that the word love appears! [16]
“I am kind.”
Can we faithfully follow Jesus without
being kind? Paul admonishes, “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32). [17]
“I suffer long.” Christianity is a religion based on sacrifice. “God so
loved that He gave . . .” (John 3:16). What did He give? He gave His only begotten Son! Only love will lead one to suffer, and
if we love Jesus, we will suffer for Him and with
Him. [18]
The
apostle Peter wrote: “For to
this you were called, because Christ also suffered
for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps. Therefore, since
Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind,
for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,” (1 Peter 2:21; 4:1). [19]
“Yet
if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify
God in this matter” (1
Peter 4:16). [20]
“I do not
rejoice in iniquity, but rejoice in the truth.” Isn’t this the way
Christians should be who have the fruit of the Spirit? When we were born again “of
water and of the Spirit,” didn’t we die to sin? (Rom. 6:2). [21]
Therefore,
the very things that Paul mentioned that love would do are the same things that
we should do if we are bearing the fruit of the Spirit! [22]
Also,
if we have this kind of love, our burdens will be lighter. There are so many
burdens to bear today while living the Christian life. No, they are not
necessarily the same kind of burdens that were present in Paul’s day, but we
all still have burdens. Thus, when this kind of love is present, our burdens
will be lightened, because love lightens burdens! [23]
Many
of you are familiar with the life of Jacob in the Old Testament. Jacob fell
deeply in love with Rachel, one of the daughters of Laban. Jacob wanted to
marry her, but Laban informed him that he would have to work seven years for
her. He did this, but to his surprise, he received her sister Leah. [24]
Jacob
was informed that he could also receive Rachel, but to do so, he would have to
work another seven years. Why was Jacob willing to do all this serving to marry
Rachel? Here is the answer: “So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and
they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her” (Genesis 29:20). Love lightened his
burdens! [25]
For example, if someone has a child who is ill, a nurse can be hired who will put in her eight to twelve hours and then go home. This is what she is paid to do. However, a mother can stay those same hours and just keep on going! How can she do this? Be-cause her burdens are lightened with love. Is it difficult and tiring to her? Yes, but love motivates her to keep going. [26]
When we have the fruit of the Spirit, love will motivate us
to keep going. Because of love, we will work, we will serve, we will faithfully
study the Bible, and we will worship. [27]
How could
Joseph of the Old Testament keep going when he was hated, deprived of his
freedom, falsely accused, and forgotten? The answer is that he loved God, and
evidently believed the principle that was written by Paul in later centuries: “And
we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those
who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). [28]
Joseph
was like a story I was told when just a boy. A farmer had a mule that was
extremely old, but the farmer did not want to sell him. One night, this old
mule fell into an open dry well, and couldn’t get out. The farmer told his
sons, this is the right time to get rid of this mule. We will just fill up the
well and bury this old mule. [29]
So
they began shoveling dirt into the well. But to their surprise, as each shovel
of dirt was thrown into the well, it was trampled under the mule’s feet. Thus,
when the well was almost filled to the top, the old mule just walked out. He
refused to give up, and to be buried alive. He loved life! [30]
Those
who have the fruit of the Spirit also love life. They not only appreciate the
physical life that God has given them, but they love and hope for eternal life.
They have faith that they will receive the life that Jesus offers, if they will
faithfully love, obey and serve Him. [31]
For
Jesus said, “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves
Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and
manifest Myself to him” (John 14:21). [32]
Jesus
promised the woman at Jacob’s well, “whoever drinks of the water that I
shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will
become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14). [33]
Therefore,
the fruit of the Spirit must begin with love! [34].
