Jude 4

4 For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.NIV

4 I say this because some godless people have wormed their way in among you, saying that God’s forgiveness allows us to live immoral lives. The fate of such people was determined long ago, for they have turned against our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. NLT

• - Those who use grace to justify sin have turned against the Lord and are Hell bound.
• - They use God’s grace as a license to sin. We are told in Rom 6:15-16 that we are not to sin because we are under grace, we become a slave to the one we obey. Mal 2:17 Tells us that God is wearied by people saying those who do evil are right in the sight of the Lord. In 2 John 10-11 If we greet and help one teaching such things we are taking part in their evil works. The Bible makes it clear that you can’t separate someone from their fruit. A tree is known by its fruit Matt 12:33b. Prov 20:11 says that even a child is known by their actions. 3 John 11 tells us to imitate good not evil andour fruit demonstratesour relationship with God. Matt 3:10 says that the tree that doesn’t bear good fruit will be cut down. My actions are tied to my heart they are an overflow of what is in my heart whether I like to admit it or not (Prov 4:23; Matt 12:35). We often want say we believe something that our fruit says we don’t. I get the impression that what counts is what our fruit says not what we claim we believe James 2:17-20. Is there a gap between what we thought we believed and whatour fruit shows us to believe? The Bible tells us what we should do, so we have a choice. If the fruit we see isn’t what it should be we can choose to do some weeding of the heart. God show me the weeds in my life that I need to uproot and prune what you must to make me fruitful for you John 15:2.
