Title: “Grace Plus Nothing: The Gospel Isn’t on Layaway.”

By Pastor Terry, DocBMedia.com 03/25/2025

Let me be clear — I’m not saying a true believer loses Salvation just because they’ve been taught to add works to Grace. But I am saying this: if you believe you need to add anything to the Blood of Jesus to stay Saved, you've embraced a heresy that won’t send you to hell — but it will put you in bondage.

It doesn’t cancel your Salvation, but it clouds your Freedom. It doesn’t nullify the Cross but changes how you present Christ to the world — no longer as the Grace-filled Redeemer but as a harsh rule-keeper.

Paul asked the Galatians, “Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?” (Galatians 3:3)

Friend, Jesus didn’t die to give you a Religious layaway plan. He paid it all. And when we try to earn what was freely given, we misrepresent the heart of our Savior. Legalism doesn’t just burden the believer — it distorts the image of Christ we show to the world.

So, no, I’m not judging your Salvation. I’m pleading for your freedom.

If you’re in Christ, you are already seated with Him (Ephesians 2:6). You are complete in Him (Colossians 2:10). Don’t go back to a yoke of slavery (Galatians 5:1).

Let grace be grace.

Lay down the extras. Walk free. Reflect Jesus rightly.

Grace is "that" amazing.
