What it Means to Fall From Grace

What it Means to Fall From Grace

Coming up next on Changing Your World—do you think your sins were only dealt with when you got saved? They were, but Jesus came to take away the sins of the world. This gift of grace is available to everyone. Every person in the world has had their sins taken away. The only reason someone would be separated from God is because they refuse to believe in the One who removed their sins.

God has given us the incredible gift of grace to overcome the limitations of our understanding so we can receive His clear direction.

This Is Your World—Let’s Make It Better

Let every heart come to know His love. It’s time to live a new life, fully embracing God’s grace. We are saved by His grace, and today, we walk in His love.

Understanding Grace: A Study in Romans 11:6

Let’s turn to the Book of Romans, chapter 11, verse 6. I’ll read from the King James Version (KJV), the New International Version (NIV), and the Amplified Bible (AMP) to explore what it truly means to fall from grace. Before we dive in, we need to establish a few key principles—and the only way to do that is through Scripture and the Word of God.

We’ve discussed this concept before, but it keeps expanding. I recently read a statement that challenged me:

“Grace cannot be grace if making Christ Lord is a condition for receiving eternal life.”

At first, this statement unsettled me. I wrestled with it, disagreed with it, and even labeled it as heresy. But after much reflection and prayer, I finally understood its profound truth.

Grace Is Not Earned—It’s a Gift

Jesus once told His mother, “My time has not yet come.” But then, in the right moment, He turned water into wine. Similarly, grace cannot be grace if there is any condition for receiving it.

No human effort or performance can activate grace. Yet, many churches teach that God’s power is dependent on our behavior. They say, “Do good, and you’ll receive God’s blessings. Fail, and you’ll block His power.” But that is not how grace works.

God’s grace is not based on what you do—good or bad. No matter how many times we say it, some believers still struggle with this concept. The truth is, our role is to believe in Jesus and yield to His leading. We don’t perform good deeds to earn grace—we do good because we are already walking in grace.

Salvation Is Based on Grace—Not the Other Way Around

Many Christians believe that grace is available only because they are saved. But that thinking places a condition on grace. The reality is:

• God’s grace is not based on salvation—salvation is based on grace.
• Ephesians 2:8 says: “You were saved by grace through faith.”
• Your salvation did not make grace available—grace existed first, and it was grace that saved you.

Grace Was Given to the Whole World—Even Before Salvation

Some people believe that God won’t forgive or bless someone who isn’t saved. But think back—before you accepted Christ, did you ever experience God’s goodness? Maybe you were living far from God, but you still encountered His mercy and grace in unexpected ways.

Scripture shows that grace was extended to the entire world, even before people accepted Christ. God’s grace was working in your life before you believed—before you were saved. That’s the power of grace!

Let’s dive deeper into the Word and uncover more about this incredible, unmerited gift. Stay tuned!
