Cheap Grace is basically disconnecting Righteousness by Faith. It is separating SANCTIFICATION from JUSTIFICATION. The IRONY is --we are NOT saved by our works, yet we are JUDGED by our works. Our works can't save us--yet we can be lost because of them without repenting.
FREE WILL
A Judgement requires FREE WILL, which involves the SANCTIFICATION process...for JUSTIFICATION is freely given and cannot be earned.
JUSTIFICATION......................................................SANCTIFICATION

CHRIST says
And Jesus said unto her, go, and sin no more.

JUSTIFICATION
Q: How are we Justified?

through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus:

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his
sight:
for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Words of note from Paul-FREELY/GRACE/REDEMPTION
SANCTIFICATION
Q: Christ said what of His Commandments?
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:15
Q: John tells us what?
For this is the love of God,
that we keep his commandments:
and his commandments
are not grievous.
1 John 5:3
John tells us we keep His commandments because our heart is right with God--they are NOT grievous...we don't keep them to EARN heaven

When one has questions about salvation (Such as true Rightousness by Faith, Predestination, Preservation of the Saints, once-saved-always-saved, the New Theology, Forensic Justification, Spirit Baptism, Sacraments of the Church for Salvation, Universalism, etc.) always look to the Sanctuary where the plan of Salvation was laid out in orderly fashion for all to see.......
SANCTUARY
Outer Court (JUSTIFICATION) Forgiven & covered by His robe of Righteousness
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away
the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine
iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
Zechariah 3:3,4
Inner Court (SANCTIFICATION) Changed Life
Be ye holy; for I am holy.
1 Peter 1:16
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a
child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
1 Corinthians 13:11
MOST HOLY PLACE (GLORIFICATION) Passing our judgement to be with Him
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him:
thousand thousands
ministered unto him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him:
the
judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Daniel 7:10
And, behold, I come quickly;
and my reward is with me, to give every man
according as his work shall be.
Revelation 22:12

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:
Psalm 77:13
*When Probation closes, and the judgement is over- He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be
filthy still: and he that is righteous (JUSTIFIED), let him be righteous still: and he that
is holy (SANCTIFIED), let him be holy still. Revelation 22:11
