1. Coming short of the grace of God.
“See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.”
Hebrews 12:14 NIV
Bitterness is an infection in our affection for the Lord. In the bible we often see that the vineyard or grapes or grape juice has been a symbol of love and affection. But the Lord has complained that His Vineyard has bad fruits. Bad grapes are usually savor and bitter.
“.. ”He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit.“
??Isaiah? ?5?:?2? ?
Grace is what we receive without deeds. Off course everyone is not receiving it. It was Noah who received it. People at Noah's time received grace -time. Grace is free but costly. If we are arrogant we make ourselves unworthy to receive favour. Check this verse.
“..God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
1 Peter 5:5NIV
2. Children can be killed for the sins of the parents in New Testament.
Jesus warned Church at Thyatira that there is a woman in the Church. She was teaching that the fornication is okay. God gave her a time to repent.
“So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.”
Rev. 2:22-23
Her name is Jezebel. It may be a real name or Jesus was calling her metaphorically to relate her actions with a woman in the Old Testament.
3. Can be weak, sick, and die for not being careful at the holy communion.
“That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.”
1 Cor. 11:30 NIV
Here the word "asleep" actually means died. People in Church at Cotinth were taking bread and cup like a common food without reckoning it as the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ. So Paul was telling them what happened to those who did not discern when they eat and drink.
4. Excommunicate a person from the church for the fornication. (1Cor. 5:13)
Why? Not to reject him but to see a change and repentance in him.
5. Divorcing a person but saving from stoning for the same sin. (Matt. 19:9, Jn. 8:11)
Forgiving and receiving both are not same. You can forgive but you may not receive. Yeast can be forgiven but should not be received.
6. You can question a slap of injustice. (Jn. 18:23)
Turn your other cheek. But within that time you can question there person who slapped you.
7. Judging in the church. (1Cor. 6:5)
8. Not just by having faith but can be justified by works of faith . (Jms. 2:24)
9. Winning husband without preaching to him. (1Pet. 3:1)
10. Turning the grace of God into lasciviousness. (Jude 1:4)
