peterson People love the message of grace but not so much message of judgement. People love message of blessings but not that of repentance. But the fact remains, a person who refuses to repent will remain under judgement of sins and cannot have the blessings of God. Like it or hate it, this is the truth. God is indeed merciful and gracious. But grace is not a licence for us to continue in sin. But a licence for us to repent and come under His mercy to avoid His judgement wrath. Therefore, whilst it is good to tell people about Gods love and grace, it is also important that we tell people about Gods judgement and urge them to repent in order to avoid it. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. ~Romans 6:1-4
