Hebrews 12:12-17 Strive For Holiness + eDoc Teacher's Notes

Free Grace Controversy: A controversy was launched from Dispensational churches over something called free grace. Free grace proponents draw a distinction between salvation and being a disciple; they say you can be saved and not necessarily be a disciple. Adherents include Charles Ryrie, Charles Stanley and Tony Evans. The opponents of free grace call it easy believism; they say Free Grace allows a person to believe in Jesus as Savior but not as Lord. Reformed theologians hold that when a person is born again, his nature undergoes a change that will lead him to respond to Jesus not just as Savior but also as Lord. Which side is right? The author of Hebrews flatly declared that without holiness a person will not see the Lord.
