The most dangerous heresy in the Church today is that you can accept Jesus as your Savior, but that obeying Him as Lord of your life is optional. Those who promote this teaching mistakenly think that they are preserving the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith, apart from human works. They do not deny the importance of submitting to Christ as Lord, but they do insist that it has nothing to do with saving faith. And so they teach that it is possible for a person truly to believe in Christ as Savior even though he never submits to Him as Lord.
The truth is:
Righteousness is God's gift to us (Romans 5:17); obedience, good works, holiness and worship is our gift to God. If you have been born again with God's nature, he loves you just the way you are, BUT he loves you too much to leave you that way. We are all predestined to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29), and God won't give up on us until we arrive. The sweetest sound you will ever hear is when the Holy Spirit whispers into your heart, "Relax, you are already accepted". However, the Scripture is clear that without holiness, no one will see the Lord (Heb. 12:14). Genuine saving faith always results in a life of progressive godliness. If a person claims to be saved, but has no hunger for God’s Word, no growing hatred of sin, and no growth in godly living, he needs to examine whether he is truly in the faith (2 Cor. 13:5).
Many who quote Ephesians 2:8-9, that we are saved by grace through faith, not as a result of works, fail to go on to quote verse 10: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Those who quote John 3:16 fail to go on to John 3:36, which states, “He who believes the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
Make no mistake about it , Jesus was not teaching that His followers can be sinlessly perfect in this life. Not even the most devoted Christian loves God all the time with every fiber of his being. No one perfectly loves his neighbor as himself. The apostle John tells us, “If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8). Thus Jesus is not teaching that we must achieve sinless perfection in order to enter His kingdom. Rather, He is teaching what James later underscored in his epistle, that faith without works is dead (James 2:17, 26). Genuine faith is not simply intellectual assent. Genuine faith submits to the lordship of Jesus, resulting in a life of obedience

IN LOVE WITH PROACTIVE GRACE
Grace is powerful and active. It is not passive or
reactive in the least. Grace is proactive. Grace is Jesus Christ
living his life in you.Grace is the power
and the life of
God manifesting in us.
I've come to realize this, that it's not grace that
causes passivity in people but actually just poor understanding of
GRACE. Perverted grace says do
nothing… its says
you can't do anything... if God is not doing it then...he is not doing it...God will put food in your mouth....if you don't forgive then GOD does't want you to forgive..... that is false GRACE.. Perverted grace creates room for passivity, in the sense that one is passive in everything.
PROACTIVE grace
says God IS AT
WORK IN ME
. Grace shows us how much gold is there
and awakens a desire to live in it. No longer will you try and earn Gods love, acceptance, favor,
blessings or avoid his curse, punishment and disapproval, now it's because you
know him and love him and have faith in him and your new nature is full of him
and awakened! You discover that anything less than all of heaven manifesting
all around you is unacceptable, since you are a royal priest and a mighty child
of God with full authority and rights to a great inheritance.
Grace awakens your spirit
man…. You know that
living a dirty
life is unacceptable …. There is
no room for
swimming in ocean of evil.
For GOD IS AT WITH YOU.
Passive grace is a dead
grace… proactive is grace
is a living Grace
James: Faith without works is dead. Don’t tell me you
have faith if the way you live doesn’t back up what you say. (James 2:17–18)
John: Love without deeds is dead. Don’t tell me you
love if the way you live doesn’t back up what you say. (1 John 3:17–18)
Paul: Grace without holiness is dead. Don’t tell me
you revel in God’s grace if the way you live doesn’t back up what you say.
(Romans 6:12–14)
Jesus: Discipleship without obedience is dead. Don’t
tell me I’m your Lord if the way you live doesn’t back up what you say.
(Matthew 7:21)
Jesus calls us to believe (Mark 1:15; 9:23). For
Jesus, believing is never mere intellectual assent to a creed. It always
implies and requires action. James’s statement that faith without works is dead
is backed up by the entire Bible. If you believe God, you will do what he says
(Matthew 7:21; John 14:15).
Jesus calls us to follow him (John 10:27). Following
Jesus is a life of pursuit of Jesus. It is a call to renounce everything (Luke
14:33). Yes, everything. We keep nothing from Jesus, and what we have, we
receive from him and steward for him. We are not our own; we are his (1
Corinthians 6:19–20). Our lives become an active seeking of Christ’s kingdom
ahead of everything else (Matthew 6:33).
Jesus calls us to receive this grace by exercising
faith — by making behavioral demands on us. He does this because (1) our
behaviors are the external demonstrations of our true internal desires, and (2)
our behaviors themselves become a means of sanctifying grace. “If you know
these things, blessed are you if you do them” (John 13:17). Holy habits
actually work to deepen our beliefs, increase our affections, and intensify our
desires.
In an age of paralyzing complexity, we need to live a simple life by
believing and
acting on the word of GOD.
Grace is sweet….
Grace is proactive …grace is
eternal
