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.

THE MERCY OF GOD IS ONLY EXTENDED TO THOSE WHO ARE IN OBEDIENCE TO THE LORD.

Gen 19:24-26 (KJV) 24 Then the LORD^H3068 rained^H4305 upon Sodom^H5467 and upon Gomorrah^H6017 brimstone^H1614 and fire^H784 from the LORD^H3068 out of heaven;^H8064

THE EXAMPLE OF THE GRACE OF GOD UPON MOSES

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 33:14 (KJV) 14 And he said, ^H559MY PRESENCE ^H6440 SHALL GO ^H3212 WITH THEE, AND I WILL GIVE THEE REST. ^H5117

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

THE EXAMPLE OF THE GRACE OF GOD UPON GIDEON

THE GRACE OF GOD UPON GIDEON

Judges 6:17 (KJV) And he said ^H559 unto him, IF NOW I HAVE FOUND ^H4672 GRACE ^H2580 IN THY SIGHT, ^H5869 THEN SHEW ^H6213 ME A SIGN ^H226 THAT THOU TALKEST ^H1696 WITH ME.

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

Prov 3:34 (KJV) Surely he scorneth ^H3887 the scorners: ^H3887 BUT HE GIVETH ^H5414 GRACE ^H2580 UNTO THE LOWLY. ^H6035^H6041

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.

Heb 4:16 (KJV) Let us ^G4334^G0 therefore ^G3767 come ^G4334 boldly ^G3326^G3954 unto the throne ^G2362 of grace, ^G5485 that ^G2443WE MAY OBTAIN ^G2983 MERCY, ^G1656 AND ^G2532FIND ^G2147 GRACE ^G5485TO HELP ^G996 IN ^G1519 TIME OF NEED. ^G2121

2 Cor 9:8 (KJV) And ^G1161GOD ^G2316 IS ABLE ^G1415 TO MAKE ^G4052^G0ALL ^G3956 GRACE ^G5485 ABOUND ^G4052 TOWARD ^G1519 YOU; ^G5209 that ^G2443 ye, always ^G3842 having ^G2192 all ^G3956 sufficiency ^G841 in ^G1722 all ^G3956 things, may abound ^G4052 to ^G1519 every ^G3956 good ^G18 work: ^G2041

1 Peter 5:10 (KJV) But ^G1161THE GOD ^G2316 OF ALL ^G3956 GRACE, ^G5485 who ^G3588 hath called ^G2564 us ^G2248 unto ^G1519 his ^G846 eternal ^G166 glory ^G1391 by ^G1722 Christ ^G5547 Jesus, ^G2424 after that ye have suffered ^G3958 a while, ^G3641^G846 make ^G2675^G0 you ^G5209 perfect, ^G2675 stablish, ^G4741 strengthen, ^G4599 settle ^G2311 you.

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 MUST CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM GRACE TO GRACE.

John 1:16 (KJV) AND ^G2532 OF ^G1537 HIS ^G846 FULNESS ^G4138 HAVE ^G2983^G0 ALL ^G3956 WE ^G2249 RECEIVED, ^G2983 AND ^G2532GRACE ^G5485 FOR ^G473 GRACE. ^G5485

THE GRACE OF GOD AND THE TRUTH OF GOD CAME BY JESUS CHRIST.

John 1:17 (KJV) For ^G3754 the law ^G3551 was given ^G1325 by ^G1223 Moses, ^G3475BUT GRACE ^G5485AND ^G2532 TRUTH ^G225 CAME ^G1096 BY ^G1223 JESUS ^G2424 CHRIST. ^G5547

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.

Rom 1:5 (KJV) By ^G1223 whom ^G3739WE HAVE RECEIVED ^G2983GRACE ^G5485 and ^G2532 apostleship, ^G651FOR ^G1519 OBEDIENCE ^G5218 TO THE FAITH ^G4102among ^G1722 all ^G3956 nations, ^G1484 for ^G5228 his ^G846 name: ^G3686

Rom 3:31 (KJV) Do we ^G2673^G0 then ^G3767 make void ^G2673 the law ^G3551 through ^G1223 faith? ^G4102 God forbid: ^G3361^G1096 yea, ^G235WE ESTABLISH ^G2476 THE LAW. ^G3551

WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE GRACE OF GOD THROUGH THE FAITH OF GOD AS WE ARE KEEPING THE LAW OF GOD.

Rom 5:1-2 (KJV) 1 Therefore ^G3767 being justified ^G1344 by ^G1537 faith, ^G4102 we have ^G2192 peace ^G1515 with ^G4314 God ^G2316 through ^G1223 our ^G2257 Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 Christ: ^G5547

Rom 5:15 (KJV) But ^G235 not ^G3756 as ^G5613 the offence, ^G3900 so ^G3779 also ^G2532 is the free gift. ^G5486 For ^G1063 if ^G1487 through the offence ^G3900 of one ^G1520 many ^G4183 be dead, ^G599MUCH ^G4183 MORE ^G3123 THE GRACE ^G5485 OF GOD, ^G2316 AND ^G2532THE GIFT ^G1431 BY ^G1722 GRACE, ^G5485 WHICH IS ^G3588 BY ONE ^G1520 MAN, ^G444 JESUS ^G2424 CHRIST, ^G5547 HATH ABOUNDED ^G4052 UNTO ^G1519 MANY. ^G4183

Rom 5:20 (KJV) Moreover ^G1161 the law ^G3551 entered, ^G3922 that ^G2443 the offence ^G3900 might abound. ^G4121 But ^G1161 where ^G3757 sin ^G266 abounded, ^G4121 GRACE ^G5485 did much more abound: ^G5248

JESUS CHRIST ENCOURAGED THE APOSTLE PAUL THAT THE GRACE OF GOD WAS SUFFICIENT FOR HIM IN HIS WEAKNESSES IN SINFUL FLESH.

THE GRACE OF GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST IS SUFFICIENT FOR US TO OVERCOME OUR DAILY STRUGGLES IN OUR FLESH AS WE STRIVE TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

2 Cor 12:9 (KJV) And ^G2532 he said ^G2046 unto me, ^G3427 MY ^G3450 GRACE ^G5485 IS SUFFICIENT ^G714 FOR THEE: ^G4671 FOR ^G1063 MY ^G3450 STRENGTH ^G1411 IS MADE PERFECT ^G5048 IN ^G1722 WEAKNESS. ^G769 Most gladly ^G2236 therefore ^G3767 will I ^G2744 ^G0 rather ^G3123 glory ^G2744 in ^G1722 my ^G3450 infirmities, ^G769 that ^G2443 the power ^G1411 of Christ ^G5547 may rest ^G1981 upon ^G1909 me. ^G1691

GREEK-sufficient-arkeō-714

STRONG’S DFINITIONS

ἀρκέω arkéō, ar-keh’-o; apparently a primary verb (but probably akin to G142 through the idea of raising a barrier); properly, to ward off, i.e. (by implication) to avail (figuratively, be satisfactory):—be content, be enough, suffice, be sufficient.

THAYER’S GREEK LEXICON

to be possessed of unfailing strength; to be strong, to suffice, to be enough
to defend, ward off
to be satisfied, contented

1 Peter 1:10 (KJV) Of ^G4012 which ^G3739 salvation ^G4991 the prophets ^G4396 have enquired ^G1567 and ^G2532 searched diligently, ^G1830WHO ^G3588 PROPHESIED ^G4395 OF ^G4012THE GRACE ^G5485THAT SHOULD COME UNTO ^G1519 YOU: ^G5209

THE COMPLETION OF THE GRACE OF GOD WILL BE AT THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST.

1 Peter 1:13 (KJV) Wherefore ^G1352 gird up ^G328 the loins ^G3751 of your ^G5216 mind, ^G1271 be sober, ^G3525AND HOPE ^G1679 TO THE END ^G5049 FOR ^G1909THE GRACE ^G5485THAT IS TO BE BROUGHT ^G5342 UNTO YOU ^G5213 AT ^G1722 THE REVELATION ^G602 OF JESUS ^G2424 CHRIST; ^G5547

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 ^G458^G0^G4160 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 ^G1344^G0 no ^G3956^G3756 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

Rom 5:13-14 (KJV) 13 (For ^G1063UNTIL ^G891 THE LAW ^G3551 SIN ^G266 WAS ^G2258 IN ^G1722 THE WORLD: ^G2889BUT ^G1161 SIN ^G266 IS ^G1677^G0 NOT ^G3756 IMPUTED ^G1677 WHEN THERE IS ^G5607 NO ^G3361 LAW. ^G3551

Rom 5:14 (KJV) 14 Nevertheless ^G235 death ^G2288 reigned ^G936 from ^G575 Adam ^G76 to ^G3360 Moses, ^G3475 even ^G2532 over ^G1909 them that had ^G264^G0 not ^G3361 sinned ^G264 after ^G1909 the similitude ^G3667 of Adam’s ^G76 transgression, ^G3847 who ^G3739 is ^G2076 the figure ^G5179 of him that was to come. ^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. ^G3361^G1096 Nay, ^G235I HAD ^G1097^G0 NOT ^G3756 KNOWN ^G1097 SIN, ^G266 but ^G1508 by ^G1223 the law: ^G3551 for ^G1063^G5037 I had ^G1492^G0 not ^G3756 known ^G1492 lust, ^G1939 except ^G1508 the law ^G3551 had said, ^G3004THOU SHALT ^G1937^G0 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.

Rom 3:24-25 (KJV) 24 BEING JUSTIFIED ^G1344 FREELY ^G1432 BY HIS ^G846 GRACE ^G5485THROUGH ^G1223 THE REDEMPTION ^G629 THAT IS IN ^G1722 CHRIST ^G5547 JESUS: ^G2424

Rom 3:25 (KJV) 25 Whom ^G3739 God ^G2316 hath set forth ^G4388 to be a propitiation ^G2435 through ^G1223 faith ^G4102 in ^G1722 his ^G846 blood, ^G129TO ^G1519 DECLARE ^G1732 HIS ^G846 RIGHTEOUSNESS ^G1343 FOR ^G1223 THE REMISSION ^G3929 OF SINS ^G265 THAT ARE PAST, ^G4266 through ^G1722 the forbearance ^G463 of God; ^G2316

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 ^G2961^G0 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.

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 ^G2961^G0 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. ^G3361^G1096

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 ^G4270^G0 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. ^G5547

GREEK-lasciviousness–aselgeia–766

unbridled lust, excess, licentiousness, lasciviousness, wantonness, outrageousness, shamelessness, insolence

STRONG’S DEFINITIONS

ἀσέλγεια asélgeia, as-elg’-i-a; from a compound of G1 (as a negative particle) and a presumed σελγής selgḗs (of uncertain derivation, but apparently meaning continent); licentiousness (sometimes including other vices):—filthy, lasciviousness, wantonness.

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.

THE KEEPING OF ANY OF THE LAW OF MOSES WILL NOT PROMOTE THE FAITH OF GOD.
