Under Grace, Believers are no longer under Law but, Diabolical Doctrine
Another way some express this diabolical doctrine: “We don’t have to worry about keeping God’s Law. That was for the Jews before Christ’s day. They were under the dispensation of Law, but we’re now in the age of Grace.”
The love of Christ is according to the goodness of God, not man. Mankind has no goodness to merit God’s good will. Jesus Christ came to save sinners, not the righteous. It is by His mercy, and not our worthiness, that we are saved.
“If anyone sees his brother sin a sin not to death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for those that do not sin to death. There is a sin to death, I do not say that he shall pray for it” (1 John 5:16 MKJV).
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man’s foes shall be those of his own household” (Matthew 10:34-36).
Universalism, as Reality Avoidance, Oveercome by Fear:
Some are consumed with preaching against the doctrine of eternal torment. Can it be that God raises certain up to take on a particular issue? Perhaps so; He can do that. Or is it that the one preaching against eternal torment has a problem?
Lest anyone should think otherwise, we do believe in the reconciliation of all things by the Lord Jesus Christ. What we address is a lawless attitude in the Name of the Lord, and in the name of “universalism.” We say (as does the Bible), “work out your salvation with fear and trembling,” to which universalists cry, “Work! Work!” They say that because “Christ did it all,” therefore there is nothing more for the believer to do. See our answers within these pages.
