The church again is facing an age–old problem—the invasion of it by what has become known as ‘easy believism’ or ‘cheap grace’... People are told just to ‘believe in Jesus’ and everything will be settled forever...Our Lord recognized the potential problem of an easy believism, as indicated in John 8:30,31, ‘As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him. Jesus therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed in Him, “If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine”.’ Jesus affirms that an easy believism is inadequate.
