Perversion Or Pure Vision, By Amy Mecsko


 

  • Perverted version of repentance: just say a prayer and you've picked up a fire insurance ticket. Pure vision of repentance: turn from the sin, turn from the world, and come OUT of it.
  • Perverted version of grace: it's ok to sin, we all do and always will, God’s grace covers me. Pure vision of Grace: His blood purifies you from the sin and His grace enables you to walk in Holiness, this crushing sin under your feet. 
  • Perverted version of love: feeling, always smiling, loving and encouraging, making someone feel good all the time.Pure vision of love: encouraging, rebuking, and correcting based on the WORD of God.

  • Pure vision of Life: There WILL be trials and tribulations and the trying of your faith to work in you patience, endurance, longsuffering, and pure, Godly love. 
  • Perversion vs Purity: Wide, easy road vs. the narrow gate that few find ...
