It is critical that we understand what this means and how it applies to us today.
“…the transition of the first man and woman from a state of innocent obedience to God to a state of guilty disobedience.”Ĭhrist is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law ye are fallen from grace. 
“to sin and get on the wrong side of God.”. Want to read more of Brad’s blogs? Check out his Blog page. To try to achieve what God has freely given is to fall from grace. Grace is everything God has freely and fully done for us in Christ to bless us and bring us close to himself in a relationship where we are totally loved and accepted, resulting in being open and honest with him about what’s happening in our lives. So to fall from grace is to stop trusting in Jesus (who made us right with God, brings us into fellowship with and close to God, and in whom we are blessed with every spiritual blessing) and to start trusting in our own good works. It simply means these believers have switched their trust from trusting in Jesus to being right with God to trusting in their religious activity and morality. If we are trying to be right with God, stay in fellowship with or close to God, or earn something from him, then we are no longer trusting in Jesus and what he did for us on the cross, but we are trusting in ourselves. To fall from grace is to try to be in right standing with God or try to earn his favor, blessings, fellowship, forgiveness, or acceptance through the law (good works, morality, religious, spiritual, or church activity and disciplines). " You are trying to be justified by the law, have alienated yourselves from Christ, you have fallen from grace." But did you know that is not what is taught in the Bible?īiblically, to fall from grace means to try to earn God's acceptance, blessings, closeness, and fellowship (a right standing with God) by living right, such as following the Ten Commandments, praying, reading the Bible, having quiet times or devotions, tithing, going to church, fasting, worshiping, attending small groups, serving in a ministry, confessing all your sins, having an accountability partner.the list goes on. That is what is traditionally taught in churches. 
To fall from grace doesn't mean to fall out of God's will, favor, fellowship, or a right standing with him because we aren't living right (sin).
