WHAT IS THE GRACE OF GOD
Audio Show @ Divinely Inspired Scriptures
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the “gift”.
The apostate church out of the Protestant Reformation through the teachings of Calvin and Luther subtly perverted the word “grace”, just as they perverted the Sovereignty of God. Why did they teach this heresy? So they could live in sin and still be counted righteous before God. The true definition of “grace” is the power of God, not the unmerited favor of God “IE” the gift of God………….The word “Gift” means propitious unmerited favor. GRACE means HIS power that is imparted by the Holy Spirit. This unmerited favor, or gift of God, is the power of God, not of man’s own power lest he should boast…
We are saved by grace “the power of God” through faith….meaning; We through faith have the “gift” of the power of God to live righteously Titus 2-11,12..This power of God >“IE” the “grace” is only bestowed by the means of a GIFT “unmerited favor” after repentance..
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God (GRACE OF GOD) unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Jesus Christ, full of grace (the power of God) and truth
The false understanding of grace has put the congregations to sleep, as it produces the bad fruit of a passive faith…the devils faith
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace (the power of God) are ye saved through faith (obedience and belief from the heart); and that not of yourselves (not of the power of our own will): it is the “gift” (the “unmerited favor” of God)
Grace “IE” The power of God> is the gift “IE” the unmerited favor of God. The power to overcome sin, this is the same grace that Christ had…….when one falls from grace, they fall from the power of God by succumbing to temptation…
Faith, belief, and obedience, are all the same, they are inseparable, can’t have one without the other, lest of be the faith of devils, which manifest the works of disobedience..
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God (the power of God) that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; This is the grace of God, which is the power of God> that brings salvation.
the false prophets teach that grace is unmerited favor…I ask; was Jesus full of “unmerited favor”? Was Jesus not worthy, nay may God forbid…No, HE was full of the power of God to overcome sin and this is a gift of God. Yes HE was full of Gods mercy as well, for God is assuredly most merciful towards repented sinners, even the angels in heaven rejoice over one repented sinner, not a sinner who remains a willful sinner. For these are they that despise the law and trample underfoot the blood atonement of Christ in Hebrews ch 10..
Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
sin is the transgression of the law, and all the law can do is convict one of sin, only the power of God “grace” can overcome sin…grace is the divine influence upon the heart, that brings about a righteous lifestyle that opposes sin at every opportunity. Rebuke the devil and he will flea…this is the power of God..
Grace is (the power of God), this is the “gift” (unmerited favour) bestowed upon repented sinners, they receive the power of God in their lives…the gift is the unmerited favor, not the grace..this was the mystery the angels could not understand how it would work, how the believer would receive this power of God in their lives…Jesus Christ is come in the flesh..
There is only one gospel that the apostle Paul taught; the gospel of salvation Romans 1:16 , Ephesians 1:13>the gospel of grace> Acts 20:24, which is the gospel of the kingdom> Matthew 4:23, Matthew 9:35, Matthew 24:14, Mark 1:14…which is the gospel of Christ>Mark 1:1, Romans 2:16, Romans 15:29, 1 Corinthians 9:12, 2 Corinthians 2:12, 2 Corinthians 4:4, 2 Corinthians 9:13, 2 Corinthians 10:14, Galatians 1:7, 1 Thessalonians 3:2, 2 Thessalonians 1:8.
Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: the false teaching of “grace” today as being UNMERITED FAVOUR is another gospel.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God (the GRACE OF GOD) unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
My grace (power) is sufficient, said God to Paul.
