Grace is Free... But What about the Unfaithful Servant?

Posted by graceisfree at 8:30 PM

I am starting this blog not only to list some of the interesting places I found on the web but also to capture some of my thoughts on current events, eschatology, and my understanding of the Bible. One issue that I am particularly interested is Free Grace. I think that from Martin Luther till now it the various views on it has been one of the central forces dividing and uniting denominational lines. I am one of those. One of those that believe that God gave us a gift unconditionally without our merit, without our adding any work or ideas to work for our salvation. I will state it another way, Grace + believing and receiving His gift is true salvation.

I am a Baptist by denomination, but I seem to meet more in my own denomination that holds to the viewpoint that there must be actions of Love for the Lord or there was never true salvation. Why? What is an unfaithful servant then?, isn't that sort of servant one that does not serve but yet knows the Lord and his salvation personally?

There are so many issues here, and in ongoing posts I would like to open up some discussions based on scripture that explain this even more.

Blessings.

SF.

    I agree with you. God would never call an unbeliever His 'servant'. So an unfaithful servant is exactly what it sounds like. A servant of God who has not led a faithful life.

    It troubles me that this is so controversial when its plain to see from many Bible passages.

    In Christ,

    Jerod Santo
