K137. What is the grace revolution of Jesus Christ?

There are many types of grace revolution in our churches today. However, we can categorize them into two main categories:
1. the 'grace' revolution which justifies ALL the wicked, the wrong doers, or the false teachers, and
2. the grace revolution which justifies ONLY those who repent and turn away from sin in obedience to His call
And I believe that the grace revolution of Jesus Christ is the second type of revolution. Yes, it is grace from Jesus Christ for repentance. It is a revolution for repentance. It is also a revolution about the doctrine of Christ vs religious hypocrisy, false repentance, and covetous doctrine too.
Many say that the problem of our society is not lawlessness in the churches; but terrorism in the world. I will tell them, If the churches do not know the doctrine of Jesus Christ, they cannot be the light of the world. Spiritually the world will become worst or become more lawless if the church has lost its savour as the salt of the world too:
Mat 5:13-15 KJV  Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.  (14)  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.  (15)  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

The revolution of Jesus Christ is a revolution with repentance
However, sadly many preachers promote the first type of revolution against the revolution of Jesus Christ. They claim that their revolution or Paul's revolution about grace is better than the revolution of Christ about repentance. Some will even argue that Jesus has never preached repentance to tell them to turn away from sin; but to believe only, to change their minds only, to do the 'effortless' stuff like knowing, confessing, and thinking of God love only, or to know John 3:16 only. They think that that is the grace revolution. I will tell them, No, revolution without the call for sinners to repent is not the revolution of Jesus Christ. The reason why Jesus would call sinners to repentance clearly shows that sinners do not just believe; they must repent. Therefore, when Jesus told the sinners to repent, He did not want them to believe only. It is because Jesus knew that the religious, the self-righteous, the hypocrites, the Pharisees, the false prophets, and the devils all can believe; but they can never repent.
Mat 9:13 KJV  But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Jas 2:18-20 KJV  Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.  (19)  Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.  (20)  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Act 26:19-21 KJV  Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:  (20)  But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. (21) For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
Obviously Paul was persecuted because he preached repentance or the revolution of Jesus Christ. He preached more repentance to both the Jews and Gentiles in all the cities than he preached grace to the Jews in the synagogues. His revolution with repentance made the religious mad; however, it will still make many people today mad, especially the religious, the hypocritical, and the radical who think that they are irreversibly justified by their law, by their circumcision, by their confession, by their false obedience, by their belief in law justification or in radical grace justification, or by their hypocrisy. The revolution to repent can never become obsolete. Men are still as sinful (or as hypocritical) as before. We may have more churches or bigger churches today but it does not mean that we can change the revolution of Jesus Christ and preach only grace. However, when we see more and more false prophets or hypocrites rising, preaching, and twisting the gospel and revolution of Jesus Christ by saying that repentance is just 'turning to God' or hypocritical 'switching of mind' to believe that our sins are all forgiven without the need to turn away from sin or the need to do works meet for repentance, we know that the end is near.

The revolution of Jesus Christ will not only change people's minds
It will change people's life. Yes, Jesus did say 'metanoa' in Greek which is 'change your mind'. However, if you read the full Bible context, you will know that it is always turning away from sin by beginning to change your mind. Hence, without 'the mind' to turn away from sin, it is not repentance. If you read about repentance in the Lord's teaching and doctrine, you should know that repentance is always an act, decision, or thinking which involves turning away from sin. For example, you can see that in the repentance of the prodigal son, the repentance of the tax collector Zacchaeus, the repentance of the publican (Luk 18:10), and the 'repentance' of the fig tree which was given a second chance (to repent and bear fruit Luk 13:6-9).  If we still cannot see the picture of repentance in His words, doctrine, or teaching, we are still blind, we are like the people in Tyre or Sidon, and we have not repented yet.
Mat 11:21 KJV  Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Mar 1:15 KJV  And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Many Bible in other languages translated 'repent' in the above Bible verses as 'turning away from sin'. Please think, What if we preached in Japan or China, and we had to correct the interpretor openly because he interpreted 'repent' as 'turn away from sin' based on his Bible translation? Do we tell the interpretor, "No, Jesus did not say 'turn away from sin' when He said 'repent';  He just said, 'believe or change your mind only'"? No, if we openly correct him, we would give the signal to the sinners that we do not need to turn away from sin. They will never repent like what Jesus had told them in Mat 11:21 and Mar 1:15. When Jesus mentioned repentance with sackcloth and ashes in Mat11:21, obviously He did not mean the sinners in Sidon should believe only. When Jesus preached "Repent and believe" in Mar 1:15, He meant we should repent humbly as sinners; not to believe only like the lukewarm believers, boastful disciples, hypocritical pastors, self-righteous Pharisees, or lawless preachers.

The revolution of Jesus Christ is a pain to those who do not repent
However, many  knowingly or unknowingly cast a false impression that the frequent preaching of repentance and such revolution in the churches is condemning and negative to the believers, especially to themselves who have already repented. I will tell them, If you have really repented, you would not complain that the preaching of repentance is offensive, negative, or stressful. You would not deliberately preach a false repentance or another repentance which tells the people to just believe and change their minds WITHOUT turning away from sin. Only the Pharisees and those who do not repent would feel condemned and think that hearing of repentance WITH turning away from sin is always a condemnation or a pain to their ears or hearts:
Joh 8:9 KJV  And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
Act 5:31-33 KJV  Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. .. (33)  When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
If you have truly repented, you will stop feeling condemned in your heart. You will surrender to God, serve the law of God with peace of mind, and preach like Paul that there is therefore no condemnation for those who have repented and walk in subjection to the law of God.
Rom 7:23-25 KJV  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.  (24)  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?  (25)  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. (8:1-7) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  (2)  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death . (7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
However, if you still feel condemned, you are still walking in the law of your flesh. You have not repented yet. Taking away repentance, ignoring the need to repent, or hearing 'another' repentance can never solve your sin problem. It will only make you becoming more and more dependent on the false prophets, as you need to KEEP HEARING more and more of their 'no condemnation' preaching to overcome your sin conscience:

The revolution of Jesus Christ is an offensive revolution to the religious and the covetous
The revolution of Jesus Christ had made many Jews in the past mad because it spoke against their covetous doctrine and practices. Today it will still make many religious or 'spiritual' people mad because it stops and exposes the use of law or grace for religious and hypocritical purposes. It will cause many religious fantasy and covetous preachers (irregardless of whether they are the preachers of the law or grace) to hate Christ and persecute those who keep His doctrine faithfully:
Luk 12:15 KJV  And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Luk 16:13-14 KJV  No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.  (14)  And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
Mat 23:23-29 KJV  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.  (24)  Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.  (25)  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.  (26)  Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.  (27)  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.  (28)  Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.  (29)  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Luk 12:1-2 KJV  In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.  (2)  For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Mar 12:38 KJV  And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
Mar 11:17-18 KJV  And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.  (18)  And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
Mar 1:27 KJV  And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
The revolution of Jesus Christ will still cause many 'religious' people (or hypocritical believers) to persecute God's people in the end time.
Rev 12:17 KJV  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev 14:12 KJV  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The revolution of Jesus Christ is an offensive revolution to the Pharisees and hypocrites
We have read about the Lord's judgement against the Pharisees and hypocrites. However, did the Lord condemn all the Jews as hypocrites? No, there were many Jews who still lived under the Old Testament and they were not hypocrites:
Luk 1:5-6 KJV  There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.  (6)  And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
We should ask: Why did Jesus condemn only the Pharisees and scribes as hypocrites? Was it because they kept His laws and commandments? No, they taught God's commandments, but they would never do God's commandments.
1. Today many say that they have high regard for the law of God only with their lips, but they do not have the law of God in their hearts (Heb 10:15)
2. they may say that they have tremendous love for Jesus too, but they do not know and follow His doctrine
The Pharisees were hypocrites not because they taught God's laws, but because they did not do and teach God's laws faithfully. Similarly, many believers today boast about their love for Jesus, but they do not do and teach the words of Jesus faithfully. They teach their own illusive repentance philosophy or effortless prosperity doctrine. They are lawless in God's eyes even though they can argue vehemently and convincingly that God has forgiven all their past, present, and future lawlessness. A hypocrite in the eyes of the Lord is someone who does not have the law of God in his heart and he keeps denying it. He could be a religious believer under the law, a radical believer under grace, an unscrupulous businessman, a pastor, a liar, a terrorist, or even a lawyer. If he has no law in his heart, he is a hypocrite irregardless of how well he can believe, prosper, preach, teach, argue, debate, confuse, or terrorise with his lawlessness doctrine or conscience. Of course,
1. I am not talking about the need to have the law of Moses, the Jewish law, or the law written by Moses in our hearts;
2. I am talking about the need to have law consciousness or the inner conscience written by God in our hearts.
The law of Moses was written by Moses, and hence, it could become obsolete; but the Ten Commandments were written by God. They can never become obsolete. See https://plus.google.com/103386467367636094616/posts/7k2fBsANL1g
Rom 2:14-16 KJV  For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:  (15)  Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)  (16)  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Hence, the sinners may have that law conscience in their hearts; but that law conscience can never be compared to the law of God or become the law of God unless they repent and turn back to God. When they open their hearts to God in obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ, God will put 'back' His laws into their hearts (Heb 8:10, 10:16) and into that conscience or vacuum which was originally occupied by His laws.
When Adam rebelled and departed from God's command, God's law and glory departed from him too, but that could have left a vacuum or shadow which could still speak to him faintly only as the conscience of man. However, in the last days, Satan will attack man again and he will try to remove even that little law consciousness or conscience that remains in man's heart. Satan knew that he could never remove the law of God written in the hearts of a remnant of the believers, but he could remove the law conscience from the majority of his sinners and believers and confuse the churches so that he can ultimately bring in his lawlessness and deceive more believers in the churches:
Rev 12:16-17 KJV  And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.  (17)  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Mat 7:23 LITV  And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; "depart from Me, those working lawlessness!"
Mat 13:41 LITV  The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all the offenses, and those who practice lawlessness.
Mat 23:28-29 LITV  So you also indeed outwardly appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.  (29)  Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous.
Mat 24:11-12 LITV  And many false prophets will be raised and will cause many to err.  (12)  And because lawlessness shall have been multiplied, the love of the many will grow cold.
2Th 2:7-8 LITV  For the mystery of lawlessness already is working, only he is holding back now, until it comes out of the midst.  (8)  And then "the Lawless One" will be revealed, "whom" "the Lord" "will consume" "by the spirit of His mouth," and will bring to nought by the brightness of His presence.
Mat 4:3-4 KJV  And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.  (4)  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
We have seen how Satan or the Lawless one twisted God's commandment and tempted Jesus to rebel against it. However, do we know that false prophets or Satan's prophets are still trying to twist God's words today? They interpret that when Satan tempted Jesus to turn the stones to bread, he was actually tempting Jesus to get nourishment from the law and to be 'law-conscious' !!! I will tell them, This is ridiculous. How can you compare the law-consciousness in the law of Moses with the law-consciousness of God's laws, confuse the people, and falsely accuse everyone who keep the laws of God? Obviously you have deliberately twisted God's words and lied to everyone to promote your own lawlessness or hypocrisy.
So, there is a great similarity among all the Pharisees, all the false prophets, and Satan: it is not their doctrine of law, but their doctrine of lies, hypocrisy, and lawlessness. Many may still argue, "No, we can never be the false prophets who preach false doctrine because we have no doctrine; we have only Jesus. We go by the 'flow', by grace, by the Holy Spirit, or by the 'now' words of Jesus Christ. We believe only in grace or Jesus who will teach us with sound doctrine based on the Bible verse in Tit 2:12 - Grace can teach .."
I will tell them, You said that grace is not a doctrine, grace is Jesus, and therefore, you have no doctrine to teach now. So, you go by the flow, by the 'now' words, or by the Holy Spirit as He speaks to you or appears to you. So, are you still in the 'waiting' mode or 'new revelation' mode for the Holy Spirit or 'Grace' to give you more doctrine or more 'now' words? If this is so, you can decide whom you want to hear and what type of 'now' words you want to give to your believers too. This is ridiculous when Jesus has already shown us His written words and doctrine which we must do and follow. Hence, I would say, No doctrine is a false doctrine.

The revolution of Jesus Christ did not just make the Pharisees uncomfortable;
it made them mad because it threatened their religious 'freedom', their business 'creativity', and their hypocritical 'practices' which greatly prospered them:
Mar 11:15-18 KJV  And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;  (16)  And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.  (17)  And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.  (18)  And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
In fact, the revolution of Jesus Christ is so thorough that it wiped out almost everything which functioned under the hypocrisy of the Pharisees:
Mar 12:28-40 KJV  .. (29)  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:  (30)  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart .. (31) And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.. (32)  And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:  (33)  And to love him with all the heart .. and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.  (34)  And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God ... (38) And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,  (39)  And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:  (40)  Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation ..  (13:1-7) And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!  (2)  And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down .. (5) .. Take heed lest any man deceive you:  (6)  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  (7)  And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

The revolution of Jesus Christ today will still make the false prophets uncomfortable
Jesus said to one of the scribes, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God" (Mar 11:34), but why did He warn about the scribes later? It means that the scribes were 'dangerous' teachers even though they might teach the words or commandments of God 'discreetly'. It was because the scribes knew the kingdom of God and the words of God, but they would never teach the people to enter the kingdom or do the words of God. After giving warning about the scribes, God's judgement, and the destruction of the whole temple system, Jesus continued to warn the disciples about the false prophets in the end time (Mar 13)? Why?
1. Beware of the scribes: Mar 12:38-39 KJV  And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, (39) And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
2. Beware of the false prophets: Mar 13:5-6 KJV  And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:  (6)  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
It means that covetous doctrine and hypocrisy would not be wiped out totally with the destruction of the scribes' temple system. It will still continue to flourish in the end time. Hence, the warning of the Lord is still necessary because many false prophets will still take the chief seats in the religious circles or marketplaces even after the temple and the doctrine of the scribes and Pharisees were utterly destroyed by God.
Mat 7:15 KJV  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 16:12 KJV  Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Today we do not have any scribes or Pharisees teaching us in the temple under the Old Covenant; but we still have the false prophets teaching us in the churches under the New Covenant, and many of them will try to deceive us that the warning or the doctrine of Christ is no longer applicable to us.

The revolution of Jesus Christ is the law of God to do good
It is the revolution of 'not to do nothing' when you need to do something. It is the revolution of not to behave like the priest or the Levite when there is a need to do good to someone, as taught by Jesus in the parable of the good Samaritan.
Please read the warnings of the Lord against the scribes and the false prophets again. If the scribe could preach or explain the commandments of God 'discreetly' to Jesus (Mar 12:34), the false prophets today can explain the words of God 'discreetly' to us too. They will preach the law of God to the people, but they will explain 'discreetly' (deceitfully) that the law of God has no more Ten Commandments for them to obey and do's and don'ts for them to do good to others. Obviously they said so because they knew that they could not deny Heb 8:10, 10:16 which mentioned clearly about the laws of God in a believer's heart or mind, but yet they wanted to believe only. So, they interpreted that the law of God is only about the word of God to rest and do nothing. Some may even interpret that the law of God is to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ or the goodnews to prosper; not the commandments of Jesus Christ to repent. They argue that the gospel of Jesus Christ is just to believe, to love and to be loved by God, and to prosper effortlessly without doing anything.
I will tell them, Please think if you claim that you have read the whole Bible. Did Jesus show us what is the great commandment or law in the kingdom of God? If He did, He has shown us what is the commandment or law which should be in the hearts or minds of His people too. Is it JUST the hearing, the believing, the confessing, or the thinking of His love or words ONLY? Please read His words again, and you decide how you want to hear it:
Mat 22:36-40 KJV  Master, which is the great commandment in the law?  (37)  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  (38)  This is the first and great commandment.  (39)  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  (40)  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Luk 10:23-29 KJV  And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:  (24)  For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.  (25)  And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?  (26)  He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?  (27)  And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.  (28)  And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.  (29)  But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
If you have read the above, you will know what kind of law or commandment God will put in the hearts and minds of His people (Heb 8:10, 10:16). Do you think that Jesus would change God's law and tell you to keep your 'effortless' law of doing nothing? Do you think that the law of God is just to love God and to be loved by God 'effortlessly'? Is it just to rest, prosper, enjoy grace, believe only, and live like the rich man in Luk 12:16-21? No. If that was the answer Jesus would give us, the lawyer in the Bible verses above would be the first one to follow Christ. The lawyer and the Pharisees would all say 'Amen' throughout the preaching of Jesus. No, Jesus would never teach that kind of law or commandment to us in the past, present, or future. Jesus would never tell us to reject the Ten Commandments, the do's and don'ts, and any God's commandment which tells us to love and do good to others too.
The law of Moses could become obsolete; but the Ten Commandments can never become obsolete. They are not the same: See https://plus.google.com/103386467367636094616/posts/7k2fBsANL1g

We are not justified by the law; but we are certainly not saved without doing His law
Many will argue, "But Paul told us that we cannot be justified by the law. We are justified WITHOUT the law or APART from the law (Rom 3:21). Hence, today we believe only the gospel that Paul preached. Why do you still tell us to go back to the law or to the gospel which Jesus preached to those who were under the law? Why do you still preach the law keeping revolution?"
I will ask them, Did you read Paul letters in the following Bible verses too:
1Co 9:20-21 KJV  And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;  (21)  To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
Yes, Paul told us that we are justified or saved by Christ; we are not saved by the law. But that does not mean that we being justified or saved by Christ have no more law to keep or do. Please think, You are not saved by the air that you breathe after you are saved, but can you stop breathing the air? No, if you stop breathing the air, you are certainly not saved. Similarly, you are not saved by the law or the doctrine of Christ too (because you are saved by His blood), but if you stop doing or keeping His laws or His words, you are certainly not saved by Christ:
Joh 14:23-25 KJV  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.  (24)  He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.  (25)  These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you .. .. (15:1-23) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.  .. (3) Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.  (4)  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me .. (20) Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.  (21)  But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.  (22)  If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.  (23)  He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

Not everyone in our churches are saved
However, many still argue, "Your revolution is too offensive and negative to us. Do you know that the church of God in the end time is spotless and without blemish. It shows that ALL of us in the church will become perfect irregardless of how we sin or how much we sin. ALL are saved."
2Pe 3:13-14 LITV  But according to His promise, we look for "new heavens and a new earth," in which righteousness dwells.  (14)  Because of this, beloved, looking for these things, be diligent, spotless, and without blemish, to be found in peace by Him ..
I will tell them to read the Bible verses again. Yes, we will become spotless and without blemish IF WE are diligent and IF WE focus on the right things and WATCH! Please continue to read on and find out what Peter said after he showed us why we need to be diligent:
2Pe 3:15-18 LITV ... ..  And think of the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation, as also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him;  (16)  as also in all his epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the unlearned and unsettled pervert, as also they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.  (17)  Then beloved, you knowing beforehand, watch lest being led away by the error of the lawless you fall from your own steadfastness.  (18)  But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
It means that there are preachers, pastors, teachers in the churches who will study and use the Scriptures to lead the believers astray.
It means that many in the churches will be led away by the error of the lawless. Yes, they may be sitting next to us, but they may not be in the Church of Christ which is spotless and without blemish. It means that the Church of Christ which is spotless and without blemish is not a certain church which can be geographically or denominationally identified as the Methodist, Presbyterian, Anglican, Baptist, Pentecostal, Salvation Army, Seventh Day Adventist, Mormons, or Jehovah Witnesses. It is also not my local church which my pastor used to say '100 % of his congregation will all go to heaven'. No, the perfect Church of Christ is a collective congregation of only those who keep and do His commandments. They will congregate from all over the world to form the Church of Christ during the rapture. They are not necessarily all from a particular law church or grace church too. Hence, it does not mean that the whole church of the Methodist will be saved, the whole Mormon church will be saved, or my whole local church will be saved too. It does not mean that only the law-based church, the grace-based church, the Armenian church, or the Calvinist church are saved too. There is no need to boast if we are in any of those churches. We cannot boast about our church salvation now because we are not God.

Has salvation become better and better, or more and more hypocritical?
My pastor said that 100% of his congregation were saved. If you think that he was boastful or hypocritical, you have not seen the real religious hypocrisy yet. I have heard of another pastor who said that 100% of his congregation were 'forever' saved. Hence, his congregation had no more past, present, or future sins because they believed in the 'real' gospel that he preached. Sadly the salvation of God has been preached like some kind of mercantile system which becomes more and more radical, artificial, and hypocritical:
1. My old pastor said:
100% church salvation
2. Another pastor said:
100% church salvation + forever saved
3. A modern pastor say:
100% church salvation + forever saved + prosperity and favour (if you take his holy communion, buy his books, listen to his CD, or join his inner circle, to preach his revolution of Jesus Christ)

Watch what we preach or how we preach
No wonder, my old pastor is still quite poor, and those who preach less than 100% church salvation would be considered as 'very poor' in the eyes of many rich modern pastors. No wonder, new pastors today will always boast that old pastors are jealous of them. It has been prophesied by Jesus:
Mat 24:37-51 KJV .. (38)  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, (39) .. ; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  (40)  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  (41)  Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (42) Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.  (43)  But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.  (44)  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.  (45) Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?  (46)  Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.  (47)  Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.  (48) But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;  (49)  And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;  (50)  The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,  (51)  And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Is this an obsolete warning? Is the warning applicable only to the Pharisees or the Jews under the Old Covenant? Is it for the sinners? No, the warning is especially for the preachers or pastors in the end time or in our time. If we read the Bible verses and the highlighted words above, we know that the servants represents the preachers or pastors who take care of God's house in the end time, and God's house is the church.
1Co 3:8-18 KJV Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. (9) For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.  (10)  According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon .. .. (16) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?  (17)  If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.  (18)  Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
But if any preacher or pastor shall think, behave, or act like that evil servant who stood with the world and join the world in 'beating'  God's servants, the Lord will consider him as no difference with the hypocrites. Many radical preachers boast that they can preach better than other traditional preachers or 'old' preachers because they preach more grace, more revelation, more love, and they never judge. I will tell them, Please do not boast against other preachers. Obviously you have forgotten how often you condemned the Pharisees or law preachers in your radical revolution. It showed that you like to judge and enjoy judging others too. The main difference between you and God's preachers is:
1. you often judge the Pharisees and others, but you tell others not to judge
2. God's preachers judge the hypocrites, but they would also tell others to judge boldly and righteously
Hence, God will judge us not just because we judge or we do not judge, or because we preach grace or we do not preach grace; God will judge us based on how we judge, how we preach, or what we preach. God will certainly judge us if we speak or preach like a hypocrite:
Mat 12:34-37 KJV  O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.  (35)  A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.  (36)  But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.  (37)  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Today my mind suddenly 'pop-opened' like a corked bottle which burst out with the sudden flow of 'wine'. I suddenly understood why we need to watch every word that we say or preach, and why Jesus would command us to watch and become diligent if we are His servants:
1Ti 5:12-13 KJV ..(13)  And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
1Ti 1:4-5 KJV  Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.  (5)  Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
1Ti 4:6-11 KJV  If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.  (7)  But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness ..  (11) These things command and teach.

The revolution of Jesus Christ is a revolution which can cut and judge
Many argue that God's preachers are the ones who beat them with repentance preaching or hard sayings; however, we will let the Lord decide and judge who are the ones who really beat God's people. Are they:
1. the ones who keep the commandments of God or
2. the ones who reject the commandments of God?
Heb 10:30 KJV  For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Joh 6:59-63 KJV  These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.  (60)  Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?  (61)  When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?  (62)  What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?  (63)  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Rev 12:17 KJV  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev 2:12 KJV  And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
Rev 2:16 KJV  Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
I don't mean that everyone should cut and judge; however, if we are the remnant of God's people who need to fight, we must judge with the 'sword' of Christ, even though we may appear 'hard' in our war against the lawless one. Of course, If we read Rev 12 and 13 again, we know that the 'dragon' or the lawless one who made war against God's people is a spirit. Hence, the dragon will war against God's people or churches not with physical weapons; but with spiritual weapons, and the spiritual weapon of the dragon is radical lawlessness which counters against all God's commandments. This explains why he hates God's commandments, especially the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments will frustrate his plan to introduce his confusing, fluctuating, evasive, and deceptive 'law' or 'commandment'. The Ten Commandments will counter against each of his blasphemy and render him powerless whenever he tries to start or speak a blasphemy (which makes the people think of it as their glory or 'crown' too):
Rev 13:1-7 KJV  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy  .. (4) And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?  (5)  And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.  (6)  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.  (7)  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
This could have already started in the spiritual realm, but the physical realm will be shown more and more clearly in our world or churches as the end is drawing nearer and nearer. When the time comes, Jesus Christ will not write His commandment on the tablets of the commandments, on the ground of the synagogue, or in the hearts of the believers; He will 'write' it over the nations:
Rev 2:16 KJV  Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Rev 19:11-16 KJV  And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.  (12)  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.  (13)  And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.  (14)  And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.  (15)  And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.  (16)  And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

God judge us first before He will judge the world
Hence, according to my version of the Bible, there is judgement. In fact, God judge His people first before he will judge the world.
Heb 10:28-30 KJV  He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:  (29)  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?  (30)  For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
1. God did not judge the kings of the world first; God judged the kings of His people first:
1Sa 15:22-27 KJV  And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams .. (26)  And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.  (27)  And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
2. God did not judge the marketplace of the world first; God judged the 'marketplace' of the temple first:
Mar 11:13-18 KJV  And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came .. (14)  And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.  (15)  And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves ..  (17) And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.  (18)  And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
3. God did not judge the false prophets of other religions first; God judged His prophets first:
Mat 7:15-23 KJV  Beware of false prophets .. (16)  Ye shall know them by their fruits .. (21)  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  (22)  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  (23)  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
4. God will not judge the temples, the shrines, or the mosques first; God will judge the churches in the end time first:
Rev 3:14-19 KJV  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;  (15)  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.  (16)  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.  (17)  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:  (18)  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.  (19)  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Mat 25:1-13 KJV  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.  (2)  And five of them were wise, and five were foolish .. (11)  Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.  (12)  But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.  (13)  Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

God's judgement must begin at the house of God
Many will argue, "I don't get it. Why must God judge us first when we have good opinion of Him and we are more righteous than the world outside. He should judge the world outside first; not the churches first. Don't you know that we are the kings and priests who can never be judged or condemned? Hence, any gospel which preaches against us, condemns us, reproaches us, or disqualifies us can never be the gospel of grace or the true gospel. It could be a false gospel or condemnation gospel which always preaches the law or repentance to beat the people, but our gospel will prove to you that God will speak only good words, comforting words, or grace to the people, especially to the sinners. That's why we can find more favours with the sinners. We are like Jesus, the friend of the sinners, who is always gracious; not angry. That's why God will never judge the churches or us. God can never judge our nation. Please think, If God told Abraham that He would not judge or destroy Sodom and Gomorrha if there were ten righteous people there (Gen 18:32), will God destroy our country which has millions of Christians or righteous people? No, never."
I will tell them, If that is true, God can never be a judge and He can never judge the world today too. Why? There are now Christians everywhere. Of course, that reasoning is ridiculous. God does not judge based on your fixed rule or reasoning; God judges at His own will. God judges based on His doctrine and commandments in the gospel of Jesus Christ; not based on your superstitious words of faith devised from the Old Testament fables, typology, fantasy, or foolish reasoning, or based on false doctrine fashioned from radical New Testament gimmicks of holy water, holy oil, holy blood, holy seed Sunday, holy Hebraic words, holy favour, holy grace, holy law, holy rest, holy protection, holy holy communion, holy eating, holy fasting, holy '3' wishes, holy confessing, holy thinking, or 'no condemnation' thinking. If you use the gimmicks to make money and give people the false impression that God cannot judge, those gimmicks are useless and the people will realize it one day. That will backfire on you.
I will tell them, It is for our good that God will judge or reproach us. If God can only speak comforting words to us, I don't think that He can be the real author of the Bible, or He can be the real God who gave the Israelites the Ten Commandments, or the real Christ who gave His doctrine and wisdom to the Apostles. Please think, If God can only speak comforting words, soft words, sweetened words, or soothing words to us, He would contradict all His own words in the following Bible verses:
2Ti 3:16-17 KJV  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  (17)  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Heb 12:7-9 KJV  If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?  (8)  But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.  (9)  Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
Rev 3:19 KJV  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
1Pe 4:14-19 KJV  If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.  (15)  But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.  (16)  Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.  (17)  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?  (18)  And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?  (19)  Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
Pro 27:5-7 KJV  Open rebuke is better than secret love.  (6)  Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.  (7)  The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

God's judgement is much sorer for those who sin and justify themselves in the house of God
After looking at the judgements of God in the Bible verses above, we realize that whenever God judged His people, He would always show us two types of His people (not the people of the world) for comparison. For example:
1. Two types of kings in His nation - king Saul and king David
2. Two types of sons in His house - the prodigal son and the elder son
3. Two types of worshippers in His temple - the Pharisees and the publican
4. Two types of believers in His kingdom - the sheep and the goats
5. Two types of churches in the end time - the wise virgins and the foolish virgins
6. Two types of servants in His ministry - the 'one talent' servant and the other servants of talents
7. Two types of seeds in His field - the seeds which hear, believe, and bear fruit and the seeds which hear, believe, and have no fruit. One type of seeds will hear and believe, but they will not obey the gospel of Jesus Christ and the other types which hear, believe, and obey the gospel. What is obeying the gospel? See https://plus.google.com/103386467367636094616/posts/TZxaBzb1iSH
8. Two types of sickle in His harvests - one sickle for those who will be reaped and another for those who will be judged (Rev 14:14-20)
We can see something very obvious in all the people above: they are not the outsiders. They are the believers, preachers, servants, or prophets who believed under God's covenant. Hence, when the Bible said that they lied or they were liars, the Bible did not just refer to any liars who lied. The Bible referred to those who loved to lie with God's covenant or lie under God's covenant; in another words, they could be the believers who said that they believe or know God; but they are false prophets, false believers, wicked servants, or hypocrites:
1Jn 2:3-4 KJV  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.  (4)  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Now, please think if he were a lying believer or preacher and he kept arguing that he was as righteous as Abraham because Abraham had lied or sinned too, can he really be justified by grace or by the righteousness of Abraham? No, I don't think so. I would think that all the liars of the world can be forgiven except him who lied wilfully under the blood covenant or lied like the devils. If the Jews or hypocrites who despised Moses law could be judged with death, the believers who abused the Spirit of grace under the blood covenant of the Lord would be judged even more severely.
Mar 7:6-7 KJV  He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.  (7)  Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Mat 24:51 KJV  And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Heb 10:26-30 KJV  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins .. (28) He that despised Moses' law died without mercy .. (29) Of how much sorer punishment, .. who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, .. an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (30) For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Hence, God is fair when He forgave and judged Abraham as righteous; but judged others who lied as hypocrites. God is fair to forgive the believers who repent; but condemned the believers who sin wilfully. However, those who sinned wilfully or thinking of sinning wilfully would argue, "No, God is not fair to judge any of us who are the believers. We can never sin wilfully. Only those who have rejected Christ (or the non-believers) can sin wilfully". I will tell them, No, those who have rejected Christ (or the non-believer) can never sin wilfully. It is because, if they have rejected Christ, they would have rejected His covenant too, and hence, they will never use it to justify themselves. But those who sin wilfully are normally those who insist that they know Christ, that they are the believers, and that they can never be condemned. They will always use the covenant (grace covenant or blood covenant) to justify themselves and all the sinners who believed them. They do not just sin wilfully; they teach others to sin wilfully too.

Many 'believers' will try to justify themselves in the end time
Ironically, many people who justify themselves are not the sinners of the world; they are the so-called 'grace' believers in the 'grace-based' churches. Many will argue, "Are you silly? Believing, thinking, and using the grace of God to justify ourselves is the only thing we can do. If we cannot justify ourselves, what shall we do? Shall we just do nothing after sinning?" I will tell them, Of course, we do not do nothing; we repent. We do not justify ourselves; we let God justify us. We do not hamper or quench the conviction of sin, we let the Holy Spirit do His conviction. We do not boast or laugh and yell when we are convicted, we humble ourselves and confess sin.
Act 2:37-39 KJV  Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?  (38)  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins ..
The Bible verses above show us that, when there was conviction of sins or pricking in the heart, there was quietness, reflection, and repentance. There would still be quietness and reflection even when the Pharisees or hypocrites did not repent after they were convicted. They left quietly:
Joh 8:9 KJV  And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
However, today when a 'lawless revolution' is preached to justify all the sinners who do not repent, there is no conviction of sin; but havoc, screaming, shouting, laughing, whistling, jesting, clapping of hands, and boisterous behaviours (like all hell breaks loose). When we see this happening in the churches, in the gospel rallies, or in the so-called 'grace revolution', we know that the end is near. Many preachers will rise in the midst of their supporters' yelling, screaming, and clapping of hands, and they will argue, "What's wrong if we use the name of Jesus, the blood of Christ, or grace of God to justify ourselves even we do not repent, we do not turn from sin, or we do not have fruit of repentance? Grace means unearned, unmerited, and undeserved favour. It means that we are justified by doing nothing, literally nothing, without the law, without repentance, without restitution, and without any godliness. We don't clean ourselves first when we come to God. We cannot come to God by the law. If we cannot use the law to justify ourselves, we can certainly use grace, Jesus, or anything for our justification for all our past, present, and future sins. Hence, we are saved if we just believe that we are forever saved and have good opinions of God. What's wrong if we use whatever God gave us for our justification? What's wrong if we use it to impute God's righteousness in our conscience, confess that we are the righteousness of God IN CHRIST, and preach it as the gospel? .. Wow .. (more clapping from the supporters) .."
I will tell them, Please stop clapping and start thinking. There is nothing wrong to be justified by grace or by imputation of God's righteousness. But something is very wrong when grace or the righteousness of God can justify anyone who has no repentance, no tears, no conviction of sins, or no turning away from sin.
Luk 7:37-38 KJV  And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,  (38)  And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head ..
Joh 8:3-11 KJV (3) And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; ..  (11) She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Did both women leave the place thinking that grace was given just because they thought that they were righteous, they believe, or they had faith?  Please read the following Bible verses again and ask yourselves, Did the Lord say that we can use grace or His righteousness to justify all our sins, lies, or false doctrine because we believe in Him too?
Mat 7:15-23 KJV  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  (16)  Ye shall know them by their fruits ..  (21)  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  (22)  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  (23)  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Mat 3:8-9 KJV  Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:  (9)  And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Do you still argue that everyone without the fruits of repentance can justify themselves in the name of Lord, in the blood of Jesus Christ, or with the righteousness like Abraham's? If you do, you are justifying yourselves and arguing like the people in Mat 7:15-23, and you will know yourselves by your 'fruits' too.
Many will still argue, "But we are not false preachers. We have high regard for God's laws. Look at our mouths, Did we say that the Ten Commandments are obsolete? No. Actually I have forgotten, but we can honestly say that the Ten Commandments are useless in comparison to grace which is effortless. Grace and the Ten Commandments cannot mix. They are mutually exclusive: ie. if we preach grace, we cannot preach law; otherwise we preach mixture, we make grace of none effect, we become the lukewarm believers, or we become neither hot nor cold. That's why we are 'radically hot' on grace. We are called the hyper grace believers because we believe that pure grace is always 'super duper' abounding. It is hyper. It abounds even more when sin abounds. However, we love God's commandments and we know that we can never keep the commandments. So, we tell the people NOT TO KEEP THEM. However, We are vehemently against sin. We have never preached license to sin or given any license to sin. Instead, we always tell the people to love life and live godly lives. We tell them to 'do good', Arhh, I mean do grace. We tell them to stop getting addicted to drugs, stop watching pornography, stop smoking, stop littering around, stop polluting their environment, stop cheating, stop judging, stop being fearful, stop being anxious, stop being negative, stop feeling condemned, stop abusing their wives, stop beating their dogs, .."
I will tell them, Please stop .. for a moment, and think. Are you telling the people to turn away from sin too? If you mean it, why did you 'beat' other preachers who simply preach that men should repent (or turn away from sin) and believe? What's wrong if God's preachers would just teach:
1. the Ten Commandments and tell others not to commit adulteries, instead of
2. your 'grace revolution' which tells others not to watch pornography or feel condemned? Why do you argue vehemently that the gospel has no repentance, no law, or no commandments which tell others to turn away from sin? Do you keep double standard in the preaching of God's words? Do you promote controversies just to argue with different preachers?

The revolution of Jesus Christ would not allow preaching of controversies
Controversial doctrine or lukewarm doctrine will always encourage unclear or confused doctrinal stand on the words and commandments of God. It will lead you in circles with no clear decision on repentance, obedience, sound doctrine, godly living, or turning away from sin.
Rev 3:15-16 KJV  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.  (16)  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Eph 4:14 KJV  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Jud 1:12-13 KJV  These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;  (13)  Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
Do we know why it is an abomination if we keep preaching hot and cold controversies or lukewarm doctrine? Hot and cold controversies are normally used by false prophets who keep changing, hiding, or justifying their lawless motives so they may appear more righteous than God preachers who try to correct them. They will just keep changing their doctrinal stand and keep accusing God's preachers of misjudging them or misunderstanding them. Hence, controversies could be an abomination or wicked 'trap' which could be used to beat other fellow servants too.
That's why I believe that Paul would never preach the gospel or doctrine of Jesus Christ controversially or radically until everyone misunderstood him. Paul knew very clearly that it is an abomination to preach controversies to justify himself and others. That's why he would also make it clear to anyone who believes in grace by saying it clearly: by saying "God forbid" or saying that we cannot and should not abuse grace:
Rom 6:1-2 KJV  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?  (2)  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Many hyper grace preachers insist that Paul preached grace so radically that it became a controversy which made everybody misunderstand Paul and accuse Paul of preaching license to sin. I will tell them, If Paul was misunderstood by everyone, every sinner, or every believer that they should continue in sin, Paul would not be fit to be called a God's preacher. Please think, Would sinners still repent and turn away from sin if Paul would preach grace until it became a controversy or until it was mistaken as license to sin? No. Paul would be sacked if everyone misunderstood him. But Paul did not preach grace radically because he always made himself clear with the following Bible verses:
1. Repentance: Act 20:19-21 KJV  Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:  (20)  And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,  (21)  Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Act 26:20-21 KJV  But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent AND turn to God, AND do works meet for repentance.  (21)  For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
2. The Ten Commandments: Eph 6:1-3 KJV  Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.  (2)  Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)  (3)  That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Rom 13:9-14 KJV  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself .. (11)  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. (12) The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.  (13)  Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.  (14)  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
3. Sound doctrine:
Tit 2:1-15 KJV  But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:  (2)  That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.  (3)  The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;  (4)  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,  (5)  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.  (6)  Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.  (7)  In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,  (8)  Sound speech, that cannot be condemned;  .. ..  (15)  These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Tit 1:9 KJV  Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Don't you think that it is clear enough to everyone not to preach any license to sin; but to preach repentance, the commandments of God or the Ten Commandments, AND sound doctrine ?
1Ti 1:6-11 KJV  From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;  (7)  Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.  (8)  But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;  (9)  Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,  (10)  For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;  (11)  According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Paul knew that many had tried to preach the law (irregardless of whether they preached against the law or for the law) to justify themselves for their lawless deeds and motives. But Paul said that he knew the purpose of the law (1 Tim 1:8). It was judgement for the lawless, the disobedient, the sinners, the ungodly, and the liars; but not for the righteous (1 Tim 1:9). Many argue that because of this, the law can never judge the believers or anyone who just think or believe that they are the believers (or they are the righteousness of God in Christ). Is it true? No, I will tell them, Please read the whole chapter and tell me what you know about 1 Tim 1:10. When Paul mentioned that the law or judgement is for those who were unrighteous in 1 Tim 1:10, did he include the believers who lied, who disobeyed, who falsely accused others, or who preached contrary to sound doctrine? Yes, certainly. They may not be true believers; but they are considered as believers in many of our churches. They may argue that they are the righteousness of God in Christ even though they know that they preach controversies and they are not sound in the doctrine of Christ; but they are liars, hypocrites, and lawless in God's eyes.
Preaching of controversies is like smoking. We cannot ban smoking totally, but we can discourage it, implement law to ban it in public area, or organize campaign to expose its harm. Similarly we can discourage and expose the preaching of controversies too, by preaching sound doctrine or by preaching the revolution of Jesus Christ.
Do we know why Jesus would warn us about the tragedy of the churches in the end time? It is not because they are too rich, too boastful, too arrogant, or too hypocritical? It is because they are too ignorant:
Rev 3:17-18 KJV  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked ..
Hos 4:6-7 KJV  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.  (7)  As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
It is a real tragedy to know that too many churches can prosper, can do great works, can preach well, can boast legitimately, and can soar at great height; but they have no doctrine. When the churches have no doctrine or reject doctrine, they could be worst than the sinners in God's eyes. It is because they are accountable not only to themselves; but to others too. However, they will shift their responsibility to teach to God and they will push the blame to God. They will argue, "Why can't we just preach no doctrine? Do you know that if we preach Jesus to the people, Jesus will teach the people Himself? Jesus wants us to preach grace only. Grace is not a doctrine; grace is Jesus Christ." I will ask them, Are you God's preachers? But sadly you do not read your Bible or know the Lord's teaching. So you do not know grace too.
Mat 28:19-20 KJV  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  (20)  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
1Ti 4:7-16 KJV  But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.  (8)  For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come ..  (11) These things command and teach.  ..  (16)  Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
1Ti 6:2-6 KJV .. (3)  If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;  (4)  He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,  (5)  Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.  (6)  But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Hence, it is important to teach the people rightly. If the people of God are taught rightly, they will know the words, the law, and the doctrine of the Lord. They will know the Lord and they will follow Him under the new covenant.
Heb 8:10-13 KJV  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:  (11)  And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.  (12)  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.  (13)  In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

The revolution of Jesus Christ would still honour the teaching and keeping of the Ten Commandments
I will tell those who think that there is no more commandment or do's and don'ts in the gospel of grace, I did say, "Please stop .. and think", but it is not a 'Ten Commandments'. It is a do's and don'ts which is still necessary today. "Don't be stupid" is also a commandment from Jesus, but He would never tell us that it will replace the Ten Commandments too:
Mat 10:15-16 KJV  .. (16)  Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Mat 11:28 KJV  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Similarly, when Jesus told us to rest in Him, do nothing out of despair, and not to worry about tomorrow, He could be saying it as a commandment too, but He would never say that it should replace all the moral law and God's commandments to love and do good to others. If we use His teaching of rest or grace to replace God's law which tells us to love and do good, we are no difference from the hypocrites too:
Luk 14:3-6 KJV  And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?  (4)  And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;  (5)  And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?  (6)  And they could not answer him again to these things.
Hence, Jesus would never teach against the Ten Commandment. In fact, He would not just explain and remind us of the Ten Commandment; He would teach the Ten Commandments:
Luk 16:13-17 KJV No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.  (14)  And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.  (15)  And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.  (16)  The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.  (17)  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Mat 22:36-38 KJV  Master, which is the great commandment in the law?  (37)  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  (38)  This is the first and great commandment.
I will tell them, You said that you teach vehemently against sin and that you have never preached license to sin, but do you know that, when you tell the people NOT TO KEEP any law, you are telling them to sin? You are deceitfully and knowingly giving the people a form of lawlessness or license to sin which God hates: keeping lawlessness or keeping no more law is sin in the eyes of God. When you tell the people that there is no more law or no more Ten Commandments, you are indirectly telling them that there is no more law against serving more masters or more 'Gods' too:
   NOT KEEPING God's laws
   = transgression of God's laws
   = lawlessness = sin
1Jn 3:4 KJV  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
1Jn 3:4 LITV  Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
Hence, repentance with changing of mind to turn away from sin is actually turning away from lawlessness. This is the main reason why hyper grace preachers have to find problem with repentance or preaching of repentance which deals with sin. They preach repentance beautifully as changing of mind to turn away from bad habits, bad thinking, bad words, bad cultures, bad politics, bad partners, bad husbands and wives, bad pastors, bad churches, bad companies, or bad mistakes; but they would become very mad if you tell them to preach repentance to turn away from sin (or from lawlessness). The reason is obvious: it would counter against their 'effortless' gospel which has no law or which is lawless. The reason is: when there is no law, they can define what is bad for you and good for them, and then that will become an ultimate 'law' for you to keep listening to them on how to repent or how to change your mind 'correctly', from time to time, according to their seasonal preaching, evasive words, creative typology, new age reasoning, exciting revolution, or lukewarm doctrine. Many will argue, "What's wrong with seasonal preaching or exciting teaching?" I will tell them, There may be nothing wrong with exciting teaching. But there is certainly no seasonal preaching of the gospel. There is only one type of gospel, revolution, repentance, and salvation. Jesus would never preach seasonal repentance or gospel which changes with time; but He preached the same old repentance doctrine for all the seasons:
2Ti 4:2-5 LITV  preach the Word, be urgent in season, out of season, convict, warn, encourage with all long-suffering and teaching.  (3)  For a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own lusts, they will heap up to themselves teachers tickling the ear;  (4)  and they will turn away the ear from the truth and will be turned aside to myths.  (5)  But you be clear-minded in all, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully carry out your ministry.
By contrast, confession of sin may be an old doctrine too, but it is given by God for every man to know and confess their sins before God. Hence, there is certainly nothing wrong to confess our sins to God too. It is still better than any men's exciting new doctrine which has only the positive confession or boasting of wealth, blessing, and righteousness.

The confession of sin is still a must in the life of a believer today who may still fall in sin or fall short of the glory of God
Sin and confession of sin can never become obsolete unless we are all in heaven or there is no more man on earth. According to John, sin is men's lawlessness or men's transgression of the law. No man can boast that he has never sinned or he can never sin if he is still a human on earth. Hence, sin is not necessarily always visible act of small minor sinful deed or serious crime like killing, committing adulteries, stealing, lusting for more power, more money, or more wives, having  same sex partners, becoming angry, hating, lying, worrying, taking drugs, littering, rebelling, smoking, speaking vulgarities, slandering, murmuring, being not positive, being lazy, being bias, being hypocritical, being arrogant, doing evil, joining the wicked, doing nothing when there is a need to do something, ... or etc. Sin is simply falling short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23) or departing from God's law. Of course, that would still include all the killing, cheating, and doing the sinful deeds above too. Hence, when John said in 1 John 1:9 (in consistency with his definition of sin) that we should confess our sins, he was not talking about confessing just sinful deeds eg. any of our killing, hatred, anger, lying, or adulteries .. or etc; he was talking about confessing and admitting the root problem of our sin and lawlessness which we inherited from Adam ie. our rebellion against God and departure from God's law. Hence, a true understanding of 1 John 1:9 will not interpret it as just any confession done mechanically like a robot or stupid parrot. It requires true repentance in the heart for a believer to truly confess it. How can we ignore such a confession with great promise from God and falsely interpret it as an obsolete or stupid confession which can only be done by the agnostic, the gnostic, the lukewarm, or the hypocritical believers:
1Jn 1:8-10 KJV  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  (9)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  (10)  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Does God want us to feel righteous or to feel unrighteous?
Many will argue, "Of course, God wants us to feel righteous. God said that we are the righteousness of God in Christ. He won't want us to feel unrighteous anymore. Therefore, we should just keep confessing that we are the righteousness of God in Christ 500 times or even 5000 times (if that is possible), so that it will sink into our heart that we are righteous, that we have God's favour, and that we can prosper. We can never be wrong about this because we have the following Bible verses to back us up."
2Co 5:17-21 KJV  .. (17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new .. (20) Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. (21)  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Php 1:9-12 KJV  .. (9) And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; (10) That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;  (11)  Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.  (12)  But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
I will tell them, Please read the Bible verses above again. Did you see the highlighted words? Did Paul write to the believers when he said that he was still praying for them? Of course, Paul was writing and praying for the believers or us that 'we might, we may, or we should' do those things even after we have become the new creation. Please think, If all of us have attained righteousness or achieved perfection, would he still pray for us to move on and do more?
Of course, in theory (or doctrine), we are made righteous by Christ. But I don't think Paul wanted us to just feel righteous, think righteous, or fantasize on it. He wanted us to move on with his prayer which showed that 'we should, we may, and we might' understand and do more things in Christ.
1. Hence, we should not just keep confessing the righteousness of God to feel righteous or to think righteous; we should confess and understand the righteousness of God to be righteous in our walk with God.
2. Similarly, we should not just keep confessing our sins to feel unrighteous or to feel remorseful; we should confess and understand the forgiveness of God to forgive others and do fruits worthy of repentance too.
Hence, I am not against confessions; but if a confession is preached to give people the false impression that confession can remove sin or sin conscience by just confessing something, it is a false confession. Any confession of righteousness or confession of sin won't remove sin or sin conscience; it is the understanding of repentance, righteousness, forgiveness, and obedience that remove sin conscience and sin consciousness.
1. We can never preach confession as a fruit; but
2. we may preach confession as an expression from the fruit which must come from our repentance and obedience to the words and righteousness of Jesus Christ.

The revolution of Jesus Christ must be preached with the whole counsel of God; not our own 'counsel'
Many will still argue, "But Paul told us to preach only the grace-based gospel. In fact, through our years of experience, we have found that confession of righteousness or thinking of grace is more effective than confession of sins or meditation of God's laws. I have countless of stories which testify that our grace-based preaching is more effective, powerful, and effortless than the law-based or doctrine-based teaching. Many wrote to us to inform us that they stop watching pornography and smoking after listening to our preaching. However, It is a tragedy that Satan has deceived many churches today to preach another gospel without grace, without the power, and without any testimony of success .."
Act 20:24-32 KJV  But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God .. (27)  For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.  (28)  Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.  (29)  For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. (30) Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. (31) Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.  (32) And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
Gal 1:6-9 KJV  I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:  (7)  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.  (8)  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.  (9)  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
I will tell them, Paul did tell us to preach the gospel of grace or gospel with grace, but it is not a grace-based gospel which has no more law, no more repentance, no more warning, or no more commandment. It is the gospel with the whole counsel of God.
Php 1:7 KJV  Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace .. (2:2-8) Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.  (3)  Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.  (4)  Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.  (5) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  (6)  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  (7)  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:  (8)  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross ..
If Jesus would obey the Father, who are we to preach excuses, 'grace-based' gospel, or any gospel for ourselves to obey no more commandments from God?
We have read how king Saul was rejected by God. Do we know that king Saul in his own reasoning had thought that he was doing right when he could use the sacrifices of the animals salvaged from the wicked to offer to God? However, God considered his whole attitude and behaviour as rebellion in His eyes.
Similarly, we may think that we are doing right when we do many things for God. However, God will consider all our attitudes and behaviours as rebellion too if we refuse to obey His whole counsel which has already been given to us through the doctrine of Christ too.
1. King Saul might obey God's commandment to utterly destroy all the Amalekites, but he failed miserably in understanding and doing the whole counsel of God to rid himself of all the things of the Amalekites.
2. Yes, we may obey God's commandment to fervently preach the gospel of grace, but we would fail miserably too if we ignore the whole counsel of God, refuse to preach the gospel with repentance and turning away from sin, or refuse to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ:
Mat 28:19-20 KJV  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  (20) * Teaching them to observe all* things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Luk 24:45-49 KJV  Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,  (46)  And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:  (47) And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.  (48)  And ye are witnesses of these things.  (49)  And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
If king Saul (or God's anointed one) could rebel and ignore God's commandments by omitting an important commandment of God (ie. to destroy all the things of the Amalekites), many preachers today and God's anointed ones could have rebelled and ignored the commandments of Jesus Christ too. Many think that preaching the gospel has no more Ten Commandments or any commandments of God. I will ask them, Have you preached or given any counsel to your people? I am sure you have told them not to watch pornography, not to smoke, not to take drugs, not to worry, not to feel condemned, not to have bad thoughts, not to judge, not to be hypocritical, not to be religious, not to have bad opinion about God .. and etc. But when you gave them your 'commandment' or do's and don'ts, do you think that your 'commandment' is better than the Ten Commandments? Do you lie and tell them that the Ten Commandments have become obsolete or ineffective compared with your 'commandments' ? If you do so, you are boasting that you are a better 'Christ'. But, sorry, I must tell you that you are not the Christ, you are the false christs.
1. Your commandments, laws, counsels, or 'grace-based' teaching may be excellent, but they cannot replace God's Ten Commandments, and no matter how well you can preach them with 'grace to the people', they are considered as men's glory or rebellion when they are preached with the lawless motives to eliminate God's commandments.
2. King Saul had tried to justify himself and argued his case very well with 'sacrifices to God' too, but God still rejected him. King Saul might be very anointed: he had the anointed look and he could prophesy, but he had too much pride (or too much fear) to obey all that God had commanded him:
1Sa 15:20-24 KJV  And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.  (21)  But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.  (22)  And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.  (23)  For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.  (24)  And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
It is great to be kings and priests, but how many of us know the great responsibility of being a 'king'? Today many preachers are supposed to be kings and priests too, but they are too afraid to obey the whole counsel of God. One day they will have to answer the Lord who has washed and purchased them with His blood, and has given them the full counsel of God too:
Rev 1:4-6 KJV  John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;  (5)  And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,  (6)  And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Act 20:26-31 KJV  Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.  (27)  For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.  (28)  Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.  (29)  For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock...
