It has become very common in the Christian world today, at least in America, to act one way in church on Sunday, then act completely different the rest of the week. Too many Christians, including myself, have become very good at putting on a good face and pretending to have it all together, as if they're earning their right standing before God, while lying to everyone around them. The sad thing is, this practice is destructive to the church as a whole, and begins to bury the truth that we are saved by grace alone and that nothing we can do will ever entitle us to the grace of God.
If more Christians (most definitely including me) truly began to understand grace- that theres nothing we can do to ever be good enough for it, but also that we can never be bad enough that God withholds it based on our lack of merit, rather that it is freely given based on His good, sovereign pleasure- I think we would see an incredible and obvious resurgence in Christian holiness and godliness.
