Jeff Mobley started doing quotes on his blog so I thought maybe I will do one on occasion. I came across this quote in some of the reading I am doing.

Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate… Let the Christian rest content with his worldliness . . . Let him be comforted and rest assured in his possession of grace—for grace alone does everything. Instead of following Christ, let the Christian enjoy the consolations of his grace! That is what we mean by cheap grace… The only man who has the right to say that he is justified by grace alone is the man who has left all to follow Christ… We… have gathered like eagles round the carcass of cheap grace, and there we have drunk of the poison which has killed the life of following Christ.
