Why do most people today reject the Gospel of Grace, and are there risks in doing so?
Rejection of the Gospel of Grace leads to no other possibility than to that of works-based salvation. It is either of grace through faith, with it ALL being of Christ only and what He accomplished on the cross through His death, burial and resurrection on the third day according to scripture, or it is by Law and/or works and the various mixtures thereof. It cannot be both in some recipe of strange mixtures that a number of denominational religions teach, with the top leader of the largest of which is now embracing perverse sexuality.
What's worse is that the span of its endorsements will only continue to broaden with time and pressures from the world as Satan continues to guide its paths, along with the paths of all the others that corrupt the whole loaf with the variations in the leaven content they try to intermix with grace. This will only strengthen its member's beliefs in their own good works intermixed with sins that older and previous generations found repugnant and horribly corrupt...clearly defined as sin leading only to the pathway of everlasting entanglement to one's sins; each individual never able to atone for them in the everlasting flames.
Allegorization, however, is the chief weapon of choice to battle against the authority of Paul's apostleship, evidenced in the mystery directly revealed first and only to him by the Lord that remained hidden in God since the creation of the world.
The website "gotquestions.org" grapples with this phenomenon by stating, "The simple answer is that salvation by works seems right in the eyes of man. One of man’s basic desires is to be in control of his own destiny, and that includes his eternal destiny. Salvation by works appeals to man’s pride and his desire to be in control. Being saved by works appeals to that desire far more than the idea of being saved by faith alone."
That's a very general assessment of some elements involved in the causations behind that philosophy, but the article failed to consider the "supernatural" forces at work to keep that system of deadness flowing through the hearts and minds of the adherents to any one of the variants of that belief system.
One Jehovah's Witness once cried in front of us, revealing her not knowing if she was "good enough" to make it into Heaven as a member of what they believe will be the "ruling class" since she didn't want to be stuck on the earth with all the other mediocre populace of mankind who were allegedly also Jehovah's Witnesses who didn't knock on enough doors and sell enough Watchtower publications and give away enough handouts touting their false religion.
The emotional scars that works-based salvations inflict upon all its victims run deep, along with the strength bolstered by the pride of our flesh that fuels our desire to supplement the Blood of Christ as if it were insufficient to provide for us the totality of our salvation. Attempts at amalgamations (mixtures) of grace with works FOR salvation all give reason to examine more deeply the faith in that individual.
What about you? Upon reflection, do YOU think that your works could ever supplement the perfection in the Blood of Christ? How can any of us ever hope to improve upon perfection?
