Grace of God
Introduction
THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW OF GOD WHICH IS GOD’S SPIRITUAL LAW – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WHICH INCLUDES THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH, RESULTS IN SIN WHICH CAN ONLY BE PARDONED BY THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH COMES FROM GOD ALONE.
THE GRACE OF GOD SAVES US FROM THE PENALTY OF SIN WHICH IS ETERNAL DEATH IN THE LAKE OF FIRE.
THE LOVE OF GOD IS UNCONDITIONAL; BUT THE GRACE OF GOD IS AVAILABLE TO ALL; BUT IS CONDITIONAL.
THE GRACE OF GOD WILL NOT BE APPLIED TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT WILLING TO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH WHICH IS THE NEW COVENANT.
GOD INCREASES HIS GRACE IN US BY THE HOLY SPIRIT ON THE CONDITION OF HUMILITY AND OBEDIENCE TO HIS LAW – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
GRACE IS GIVEN BY GOD THE FATHER IN MEASURE; WE MUST THEREFORE SEEK MORE GRACE FROM GOD.
- THERE ARE THREE (3) APSECTS OF THE GRACE OF GOD IN THE BIBLE:
- SAVING GRACE- GRACE TO SAVE US FROM OUR PAST SINS:
THIS IS THE GRACE WHICH SAVES US FROM THE ETERNAL DEATH PENALTY OF OUR PAST SINS WHEN WE COME TO CHRIST BY FAITH IN HIS BLOOD.
THIS IS THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH IS APPLIED WHEN WE COME TO THE BIBLICAL DEFINITION OF SIN – WHICH IS TRANGRESSION OF THE SPIRITUAL LAW OF GOD THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH AND DEMONSTRATES REPENTANCE BY KEEPING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR PAST SINS.
ROMANS 3:24-26; EPHESIAN 2:5-8.
- LIVING GRACE- GRACE AS DIVINE EMPOWERMENT OR STRENGTH TO OVERCOME:
THIS IS THE GRACE OF GOD THAT IS GIVEN BY GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST TO AID US BY THE POWER OF THE INDWELLING PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO OVERCOME THE ENEMIES THAT CAUSES US TO SIN WHICH PREVENT US FROM TO ENTERING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – OUR SINFUL FLESH; THE WORLD AND SATAN – IN OUR TIME OF NEED.
HEBREW 4:15-16.
- THE GIFT OF GRACE- GRACE AS A GIFT TO DO THE WORK OF GOD:
THIS IS THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH GIVES US THE ABILITY FROM GOD THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DO THE WORK OF GOD.
EPHESIAN 3:7; 1 PETER 4:10.

Gen 2:23 (KJV) 23 Therefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 sent him forthH7971 from the gardenH1588 of Eden,H5731 to tillH5647 the groundH127 from whence he was taken.H3947
Gen 2:24 (KJV) 24 So he drove outH1644 the man;H120 and he placedH7931 at the eastH6924 of the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 Cherubims,H3742 and a flamingH3858 swordH2719 which turned every way,H2015 to keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the treeH6086 of life.H2416

WHEN MOSES RECEIVED THe GRACE OF GOD; THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD AND THE GLORY OF GOD WAS REVEALED TO HIM.
EX 33:12-23 (KJV) 12 And Moses H4872 said H559 unto the LORD, H3068 See, H7200 thou sayest H559 unto me, Bring up H5927 this people: H5971 and thou hast not let me know H3045 whom thou wilt send H7971 with me. Yet thou hast said, H559I KNOW H3045 THEE BY NAME, H8034 AND THOU HAST ALSO FOUND H4672 GRACE H2580IN MY SIGHT. H5869
EX 33:13 (KJV) 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found H4672 grace H2580 in thy sight, H5869 shew H3045 me now thy way, H1870 that I may know H3045 thee, that I may find H4672 grace H2580 in thy sight: H5869 and consider H7200 that this nation H1471 is thy people. H5971

EX 33:16 (KJV) 16 For wherein shall it be known H3045 here H645 that I and THY PEOPLE H5971 HAVE FOUND H4672 GRACE H2580 IN THY SIGHT? H5869 is it not in that thou goest H3212 with us? so shall we be separated, H6395 I and thy people, H5971 from all the people H5971 that are upon the face H6440 of the earth. H127
EX 33:17 (KJV) 17 And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto Moses, H4872I WILL DO H6213 THIS THING H1697 ALSO THAT THOU HAST SPOKEN: H1696 FOR THOU HAST FOUND H4672 GRACE H2580 IN MY SIGHT, H5869 AND I KNOW H3045 THEE BY NAME. H8034

EX 33:20 (KJV) 20 And he said, H559 Thou canst H3201 not see H7200 my face: H6440 for there shall no man H120 see H7200 me, and live. H2425
EX 33:21 (KJV) 21 And the LORD H3068 said, H559 Behold, there is a place H4725 by me, and thou shalt stand H5324 upon a rock: H6697
EX 33:22 (KJV) 22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory H3519 passeth by, H5674 that I will put H7760 thee in a clift H5366 of the rock, H6697 and will cover H5526 thee with my hand H3709 while H5704 I pass by: H5674

EX 34:9 (KJV) And he said, H559IF NOW I HAVE FOUND H4672 GRACE H2580 IN THY SIGHT, H5869 O LORD, H136 LET MY LORD, H136 I PRAY THEE, GO H3212 AMONG H7130 US; for it is a stiffnecked H7186H6203 people; H5971 and PARDON H5545 OUR INIQUITY H5771 AND OUR SIN, H2403 and take us for thine inheritance.

THE LORD GOD GIVES HIS GRACE ON THE CONDITION OF OUR HUMILTY AND OBEDIENCE BEFORE HIM.
Psa 84:11 (KJV) For the LORD H3068 God H430 is a sun H8121 and shield: H4043THE LORD H3068 WILL GIVE H5414 GRACE H2580 AND GLORY: H3519 no good H2896 thing will he withhold H4513 from them that walk H1980 uprightly. H8549

- WHERE DOES THE GRACE OF GOD ORIGINATE?
GOD’S THRONE IS CALLED THE THRONE OF GRACE WHERE GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST RESIDES.
THE SOURCE OF ALL THE GRACE OF GOD IS FROM THE THRONE OF GOD.
SINFUL MAN CANNOT IMPART THE GRACE OF GOD APART FROM GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST AND THEREFORE WE MUST SEEK THE GRACE OF GOD FROM ABOVE. ANY OTHER GRACE IS FALSE GRACE.

- WHO BROUGHT THE GRACE OF GOD TO THIS SINFUL WORLD?
THE GRACE OF GOD BELONGS TO GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST AND WAS BROUGHT TO THIS SINFUL WORLD BY JESUS CHRIST.
THIS GRACE OF GOD MUST BE IMPARTED TO US BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS THE SPIRIT OF GRACE.
John 1:14 (KJV) And G2532 the Word G3056 was made G1096 flesh, G4561 and G2532 dwelt G4637 among G1722 us, G2254 (and G2532 we beheld G2300 his G846 glory, G1391 the glory G1391 as G5613 of the only begotten G3439 of G3844 the Father,) G3962FULL G4134 OF GRACE G5485AND G2532 TRUTH. G225

WE RECEIVE THE GRACE OF GOD WHEN ARE OBEDIENT TO THE LAW OF GOD – TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH AND HAVE OUR FAITH IN THE FAITH OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.
THE FAITH OF GOD WILL LEAD US TO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOD INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH; WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO MEET THE CONDITION FOR GOD THE FATHER TO APPLY THE GRACE OF GOD TO US.

- WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE GRACE OF GOD AND SIN WHICH IS DEFINED BY THE LAW OF GOD?
NO ONE CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE GRACE OF GOD UNLESS THEY FIRST UNDERSTAND THE LAW OF GOD WHICH DEFINES SIN.
JESUS CHRIST CAME INTO THE WORLD BECAUSE OF THE ETERNAL PENALTY OF SIN.
THE GRACE OF GOD CAME WITH JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE OF THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH WHICH RESULTED IN ETERNAL DEATH IN THE LAKE OF FIRE – THE SECOND DEATH.
THE BIBLE ALONE MUST BE USED TO OBTAIN RIGHT DEFINITION OF SIN.
THE KNOWLEDGE OF SINFUL MAN CANNOT BE USED TO DEFINE SIN.
1 John 3:4 (KJV) Whosoever G3956 committeth G4160 sin G266 transgresseth G458G0G4160 also G2532 the law: G458 for G2532SIN G266 IS G2076 THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW. G458
NO KNOWLEDGE OF SIN WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH CAN DEFINE SIN.
Rom 3:20 (KJV) Therefore G1360 by G1537 the deeds G2041 of the law G3551 there shall G1344G0 no G3956G3756 flesh G4561 be justified G1344 in his G846 sight: G1799FOR G1063 BY G1223 THE LAW G3551 IS THE KNOWLEDGE G1922 OF SIN. G266
WHERE THERE IS NO LAW THERE IS NO TRANSGRESSION
Rom 4:15 (KJV) Because G1063 the law G3551 worketh G2716 wrath: G3709 for G1063WHERE G3757 NO G3756 LAW G3551 IS, G2076 THERE IS NO G3761 TRANSGRESSION. G384

G3195
THE LAW OF GOD- THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH DEFINES SIN.
THE APOSTLE PAUL ADDRESSED THOSE WHO WERE FALSELY PROMOTING THAT THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SABBATH DAY WAS AGAINST THE GRACE OF GOD AND NOT UPHOLDING THE GRACE OF GOD.
THE APOSTLE PAUL CLEARLY DEFINES WHICH LAW OF GOD DEFINES SIN: BY STATING THAT HE WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN SIN BUT BY THIS LAW WHICH SAID “THOU SHALT NOT COVET”.
Rom 7:7 (KJV) What G5101 shall we say G2046 then? G3767IS THE LAW G3551 SIN? G266 God forbid. G3361G1096 Nay, G235I HAD G1097G0 NOT G3756 KNOWN G1097 SIN, G266 but G1508 by G1223 the law: G3551 for G1063G5037 I had G1492G0 not G3756 known G1492 lust, G1939 except G1508 the law G3551 had said, G3004THOU SHALT G1937G0 NOT G3756 COVET. G1937
THE LAW OF GOD WHICH STATES “THOU SHALT NOT COVET” IS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
EX 20:17 (KJV) THOU SHALT NOT COVET H2530 thy neighbour’s H7453 house, H1004THOU SHALT NOT COVET H2530 thy neighbour’s H7453 wife, H802 nor his manservant, H5650 nor his maidservant, H519 nor his ox, H7794 nor his ass, H2543 nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s. H7453
WE ARE ONLY DECLARED RIGHTEOUS OF OUR PAST SINS BY RECEIVING THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS BY THE GRACE OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.

MANY IGNORANTLY BELIEVE THAT ONCE THEY RECEIVE THE GRACE OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST, THEY ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WHICH INCLUDES THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.
THE GRACE OF GOD IS CONDITIONAL AND IS ONLY IMPARTED TO THOSE WHO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD AND FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.
Rom 6:1 (KJV) What G5101 shall we say G2046 then? G3767SHALL WE CONTINUE G1961 IN SIN, G266THAT G2443 GRACE G5485 MAY ABOUND? G4121
WE ARE ONLY UNDER THE GRACE OF GOD BY KEEPING THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.
Rom 6:14 (KJV) For G1063 sin G266 shall G2961G0 not G3756 have dominion over G2961 you: G5216FOR G1063 YE ARE G2075 NOT G3756 UNDER G5259 THE LAW, G3551BUT G235 UNDER G5259 GRACE. G5485
- HOW DO WE ACCESS THE GRACE OF GOD?
WE ACCESS THE GRACE OF GOD THROUGH FAITH AFTER WE DEMONSTRATETHE EVIDENCE OF KEEPING THE LAW OF GOD WHICH IS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOD INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.
THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BEWTEEN THE GRACE OF GOD AND THE FAITH OF GOD.
WE ONLY HAVE ACCESS INTO THE GRACE OF GOD BY THE FAITH OF GOD WHICH IS IN JESUS CHRIST.

WE ARE SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD, BUT THIS GRACE ALONE IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO SUSTAIN US DURING OUR LIVES TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
WE NEED MORE OF THE GRACE OF GOD AS WE LIVE OUR DAILY LIVES IN CHRIST JESUS ON THE EARTH.
THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO IS ALSO CALLED THE SPIRIT OF GRACE, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPARTING MORE OF THE GRACE OF GOD INTO THOSE WHO ARE TRULY FOLLOWING CHRIST IN ACCORDANCE TO HIS WORD.
THE FAITH OF GOD GIVES ACCESS TO THE GRACE OF GOD
Rom 4:16 (KJV) THEREFORE G1223G5124 IT IS OF G1537 FAITH, G4102 THAT G2443 IT MIGHT BE BY G2596 GRACE; G5485 to the end G1519 the promise G1860 might be G1511 sure G949 to all G3956 the seed; G4690 not G3756 to that only G3440 which is of G1537 the law, G3551 but G235 to that also G2532 which is of G1537 the faith G4102 of Abraham; G11 who G3739 is G2076 the father G3962 of us G2257 all, G3956
WE MUST GO TO GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST AT THE THRONE OF GRACE FOR THE GRACE OF GOD TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED BY FAITH.
THE THRONE OF GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST IS CALLED THE THRONE OF GRACE.
Heb 4:16 (KJV) LET US G4334 G0 THEREFORE G3767 COME G4334 BOLDLY G3326 G3954 UNTO THE THRONE G2362 OF GRACE, G5485THAT G2443 WE MAY OBTAIN G2983 MERCY, G1656 and G2532FIND G2147 GRACE G5485 TO HELP G996 IN G1519 TIME OF NEED. G2121

- WHAT IS THE DECEPTION OF SATAN AND HIS FALSE MINISTERS AGAINST THE GRACE OF GOD?
THE CONDITION FOR ANYONE CALLED BY GOD THE FATHER TO JESUS CHRIST TO RECEIVE THE GRACE OF GOD TO BE REMOVED FROM UNDER THE PENALTY OF ETERNAL DEATH IN THE LAKE OF FIRE AND TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN ARE:
- KEEPING THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH
- HAVING THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST
- YIELDING TO THE LEADING OF THE SPIRIT OF GRACE
THERE ARE TWO (2) MAJOR DECEPTIONS AGAINST THE LAW OF GRACE THAT CAN PREVENT US FROM RECEIVING THE GRACE OF GOD:
- THE DECEPTION BEING PROMOTED THAT ONE CAN BE UNDER GRACE BY JUST HAVING THE FAITH OF CHRIST BUT NOT KEEPING THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WHICH INCLUDES THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.
- THE DECEPTION BEING PROMOTED BY SOME THAT KEEPING PARTS OF THE LAW OF MOSES WHICH IS A LAW OF WORKS – (EXAMPLE: THE LAW OF TITHING AND THE LAW OF CLEAN AND UNCLEAN MEATS) AND KEEPING THE LAW OF FAITH IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST WILL GRANT ACCESS TO THE GRACE OF GOD.
- THE DECEPTION OF RECEIVING THE GRACE OF GOD WITHOUT KEEPING THE LAW OF GOD
THERE IS A FALSE DOCTRINE OF GRACE AND A TRUE DOCTRINE OF GRACE OF GOD.
SATAN AND HIS FALSE MINISTERS ARE TEACHING AND PROMOTING A DECEPTIVE MESSAGE AGAINST THE TRUE GRACE OF GOD.
THIS TEACHING USES THE SCRIPTURE IN ROMANS 6:14-15 TO DECEIVE MANY – WHICH STATES YOU NOT UNDER LAW BUT UNDER GRACE.
Rom 6:14-15 (KJV) 14 For G1063 sin G266 shall G2961G0 not G3756 have dominion over G2961 you: G5216FOR G1063 YE ARE G2075 NOT G3756 UNDER G5259 THE LAW, G3551BUT G235 UNDER G5259 GRACE. G5485
Rom 6:15 (KJV) 15 WHAT G5101 THEN? G3767 SHALL WE SIN, G264 BECAUSE G3754 WE ARE G2070 NOT G3756 UNDER G5259 THE LAW, G3551 BUT G235UNDER G5259 GRACE? G5485 God forbid. G3361G1096
THE APOSTLE JUDE WARN THE SAINTS OF THIS FALSE GRACE BEING PROMOTED.
Jude 1:4 (KJV) For G1063 there are certain G5100 men G444 crept in unawares, G3921 who G3588 were before G4270G0 of old G3819 ordained G4270 to G1519 this G5124 condemnation, G2917 ungodly men, G765TURNING G3346 THE GRACE G5485 OF OUR G2257 GOD G2316 INTO G1519 LASCIVIOUSNESS, G766 and G2532 denying G720 the only G3441 Lord G1203 God, G2316 and G2532 our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ.

GREEK-lasciviousness–aselgeia–766

THAYERS GREEK LEXICON
- Dictionary meaning of lasciviousness
- inclined to lustfulness; wanton; lewd:
- arousing sexual desire: indicating sexual interest or expressive of lust or lewdness:
UNDERSTANDING THE SCRIPTURES IN ROMANS 6:14-15 IS ESSENTIAL TO THE RECEIVING OF THE TRUE GRACE OF GOD.
WE MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEAN TO BE UNDER THE LAW OF GOD.
SIN IS DEFINED AS THE TRANSGRESSION OR THE BREAKING OF THE SPIRITUAL LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH AS STATED BY THE NEW TESTAMENT APOSTLE JOHN IN 1 JOHN 3:4.
THE RESULT OF SIN IS ETERNAL DEATH IN THE LAKE OF FIRE WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH AS STATED IN ROMANS 6:23 AND REVELATION 20:14-15.
ADDITIONALLY, THE APOSTLE PAUL CONCLUDED IN ROMAN 3:20 AND ROMAN 7:7 THAT HE WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN SIN BUT BY THE LAW OF GOD AND HE WOULD HAVE KNOWN “LUST”; WHICH IS IN THE SPIRIT OF LAW; EXCEPT THE LAW HAD SAID “THOU SHALT NOT COVET” WHICH IS THE LETTER OF THE LAW OF GOD.
MANY FALSELY BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW OF GOD – WHICH IS UNDER THE PENALTY OF ETERNAL DEATH AND ARE UNDER THE GRACE OF GOD BY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, THIS MEANS THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD WHICH DEFINES SIN AND RESULTED IN US NEEDING THE GRACE OF GOD WHEN WE REPENT BY KEEPING THE LAW OF GOD.
THE GRACE OF GOD IS CONDITIONAL; AND THIS MEANS THAT BEFORE GOD THE FATHER APPLIES THE GRACE OF GOD UPON US BY FAITH IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST; WE MUST FIRST DEMONSTRATE EVIDENCE OF REPENTANCE – THE WILLINGNESS TO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD – WHICH IS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FIRST IN THE LETTER AND THEN IN THE SPIRIT AFTER WE ARE BAPTIZED IN THE FAITH OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
THE GRACE OF GOD IS APPLIED INITIALLY TO THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD TO PARDON US OF OUR PAST LAW BREAKING AND AS WE CONTINUE TO WILLINGLY KEEP THE LAW OF GOD; WE ARE THEN GIVEN MORE GRACE TO EMPOWER US TO CONTINUE KEEPING THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SABBATH DAY IN THE LETTER AND THEN IN THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW OF GOD.

LET’S LOOK AT A SIMPLE EXAMPLE OF ONE BREAKING THE LAW OF DRIVING AND USING A CELL PHONE DURING TRANSIT TO GET THE POINT.
IF SOMEONE IS CHARGED FOR BREAKING THE LAW OF DRIVING AND TEXTING ON THEIR CELL PHONE WHILE IN TRANSIT: THEY ARE NOW UNDER THE PENALTY OF BREAKING THE TRAFFIC LAW OF DRIVING AND TEXTING ON A CELL PHONE UNTIL THE JUDGE PARDONS THEM.
LET’S SAY THE JUDGE HEARD THE CASE AND GIVE THE OFENDER TWO WEEKS BEFORE RETURNING FOR THE FINAL JUDGEMENT; PUTTING THE OFFENDER UNDER POLICE OBSERVATION UNAWARES TO THEM, WHAT WOULD THE OFFENDER DO?
OPTION 1: THE OFFENDER COULD GO BACK AND CONTINUE
DRIVING AND TEXTING ON THEIR CELL PHONE; IN WHICH CASE THE REPORT BY THE POLICE OBSERVER TO THE JUDGE WOULD BE UNFAVOURABLE.
WOULD THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE APPLY GRACE OR PARDON TO THE OFFENDER WHO CONTINUES TO BREAK THE LAW OF DRIVING AND TEXTING ON THEIR CELL PHONE?
A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE WOULD NOT PARDON SUCH A PERSON.
OPTION 2: THE OFFENDER COULD NOW START AVOIDING
CARRYING THE CELL PHONE IN THEIR VEHICLE IN WHICH CASE THE REPORT BY THE OBSERVER TO THE JUDGE MAY SEEM FAVOURABLE.
THE OFFENDER HOWEVER COULD BE ATTEMPTING TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW BY AVOIDING CARRYING THEIR CELL PHONE ONLY BECAUSE OF THE CONSEQUENCE OF BEING CHARGED.
THE LAW DID NOT PROHIBIT THE CARRYING A CELL PHONE IN A VEHICLE.
THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE WOULD NOT APPLY GRACE OR PARDON TO THE OFFENDER BECAUSE THEIR WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT WHEN THE OFFENDER IS ALONE WITH THE CELL PHONE IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE OFFENDER WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO PRACTICE BREAKING THE LAW OF DRIVING AND TEXTING ON THEIR CELL PHONE.
THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE WILL NOT APPLY GRACE OR PARDON BECAUSE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT THE OFFENDER WILL KEEP THE LAW AGAINST DRIVING AN TEXTING ON THEIR CELL PHONE.
THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE NOW INSTRUCTS THE OFFENDER TO CARRY THEIR CELL PHONE IN THEIR VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES AND PUTS THE OFFENDER UNDER FURTHER POLICE OBSERVATION UNAWARES TO THEM.
OPTION 3: THE OFFENDER NOW STARTS DEMONSTRATING PULLING TO A SAFE LOCATION, SWITCHING OFF THEIR ENGINE AND ANSWERING THEIR CELL PHONE WHICH IS PROHIBITED BY THE TRAFFIC LAW; IN WHICH CASE THE REPORT BY THE OBSERVER TO THE JUDGE WOULD BE FAVOURABLE TO THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE
NOW THERE IS EVIDENCE OF OBEDIENCE TO THE TRAFFIC LAW.
I BELIEVE THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE WILL NOW APPLY GRACE.
THE OFFENDER HOWEVER COULD STILL BE COMPLYING WITH THE LAW ONLY BECAUSE OF THE CONSEQUENCE OF BEING CHARGED.
THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE BEFORE APPLYING GRACE; WOULD COUNSEL THE OFFENDER ON THE INTENT AND BENEFIT OF THE LAW AGAINST DRIVING AND TEXTING.
THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE WILL EXPLAIN THAT THIS LAW WAS PUT IN PLACE TO DEMONSTRATE LOVE FOR THE PERSON LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS AND TO DEMONSTRATE CITIZENSHIP TO THE LAW OF THE LAND.
THE OFFENDER WILL NOW SEE THE BENEFIT OF THE LAW AND NOT CONTINUE TO KEEP THE LAW ONLY BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF THE CONSEQEUNCE OR PENALTY.
- THE FALSE BELIEF OF FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST
SO ARE MANY FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST TODAY WHO ARE FOLLOWING AFTER THE FALSE TEACHING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN PARDON FROM THE ETERNAL DEATH PENALTY FOR BREAKING THE LAW OF GOD ONLY BY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST WITHOUT EVIDENCE OF WILL TO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH AND BECAUSE OF FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD.
THE LAW OF GOD IS NOT INTENDED BY GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST TO CATCH US OUT; BUT WAS FOR THE LAWLESS.
ONCE WE HAVE THE GRACE OF GOD APPLIED TO US FOR OUR PAST SINS ROMAN 3:25; WE MUST CONTINUE TO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS TO REMAIN UNDER THE GRACE OF GOD IN ORDER NOT TO RETURN UNDER THE ETERNAL DEATH PENALTY OF THE LAW OF GOD (ROMANS 14:6 AND ROMAN 6:1).
- THE DECEPTION OF PROMOTING THE KEEPING OF THE LAW
OF MOSES WHICH IS A LAW OF WORKS AND NOT PROMOTING THE LAW OF FAITH WHICH ACCESS THE GRACE OF GOD.
THE GRACE OF GOD CANNOT BE ACCESSED BY THOSE WHO CONTINUES TO PROMOTE THE LAW OF MOSES AND NOT THE LAW OF FAITH.
THE FALSE TEACHING OF PROMOTING AND KEEPING THE LAW OF MOSES AND NOT THE LAW OF FAITH TO ACCESS THE GRACE OF GOD.
THERE ARE MANY ALSO WHO CONTINUE TO FALSELY ADHERE TO THE LAW OF MOSES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FOLLOW CHRIST BY THE LAW OF FAITH.
THE LAW OF MOSES DOES NOT PROMOTE THE LAW OF FAITH OF GOD.
Rom 11:6 (KJV) 6 And G1161 IF G1487 BY GRACE, G5485 THEN IS IT NO MORE G2089G3765 OF G1537 WORKS: G2041 OTHERWISE G1893 GRACE G5485 IS G1096 NO MORE G2089G3765 GRACE.

- WHAT IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF NOT KEEPING THE TRUE GRACE OF GOD?
THE GRACE OF GOD WILL NOT BE APPLIED TO THE LAWLESS – THOSE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH WHICH IS CALLED “INIQUITY”. THOSE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD WILL NOT BE ALLOWED BY JESUS CHRIST TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

CONCLUSION
THE GRACE OF GOD IS CONDITIONAL AND WILL ONLY BE APPLIED BY GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST TO THOSE WHO PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF REPENTANCE FROM SIN BY KEEPING THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.
GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST WILL NOT ACCEPT THOSE WHO ARE LAWLESS AND APPLY THE GRACE OF GOD.
WE WILL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IF WE ARE NOT UNDER THE GRACE OF GOD AT THE END OF OUR LIFE ON THE EARTH.
