There are many who think once we got saved we have no further commitments to be fulfilled. For them, salvation is a gift to enjoy life in this world as they wish. I wonder, whether according to their understanding, to be a Christian means obtain a licence to do sin. They highlight the grace of God revealed though Chist Jesus. Surely grace of God saves us not our merits.
We can look in to a parable of Jesus which shows the grace of God.
Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.
The servant fell on his knees before him. "Be patient with me," he begged, "and I will pay back everything." The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denari. He grabbed him and began to choke him. "Pay back what you owe me," he demanded.
His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, "Be patient with me, and I will pay you back."
But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.
Then the master called the servant in. "You wicked servant," he said. "I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?" In anger his master turned him over to the jailers until he should pay back all he owed.
This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart. -- Matthew 18:23-35
Lesson 1 All servants are debtors. No difference all have sinned and come short of Golry.
Lesson 2 Certain servant had a debt that was equal to 150000 times of the annual salary of a servant.
Lesson 3 It is impossible to pay the debt by ourselves.
Lesson 4 The King canceled the debt. Jesus paid it all at the cross.
Lesson 5 This man enjoys freedom from debt; But the king wanted him to show mercy to others just like he received from the King. We are called to grow to the image of Christ.Christlikeness is the assignment given for each person who recognize and enjoy the grace of God.
Lesson6 This man misunderstood the grace of the King.
Today’s popular grace preachers enjoy life and indulge in filthy world pleasures.
God wanted them to be merciful to others by hating the momentary pleasures of this passing world.
Lesson 7 This man took advantage of King’s mercy and was thrown in to the darkness.

Greatest Lesson….Jesus does not guarantee sure entrance to His kingdom for all those who receive and enjoy Grace.Many grace preachers are just ignore the commandments and warnings of the Bible.
Let us take a moment to pray for those poor ignorant grace followers.
It is dangerous to mock those who honour the word of God. They are not mere legalists they are showing what grace they just received.
