What Is Grace? by pressplay411(m): 12:16pm On Jun 01, 2019 |
Knowledge with Understanding is Power and Deliverance. That is what produces the Wisdom of God in Man. Our definition/understanding of Grace determines what it can make out of us. Grace, like every other identity of God is multifaceted. -There's a dimension of Grace that is defined as God's Unmerited Favour. Ephesians 2:8 -There's another dimension of Grace that is defined as Access to God's unlimited provisions and supplies. 2 Corinthians 9:8 -There's yet another dimension of Grace which is defined as the Enablement of God to become like Christ. Titus 2:11-12 Those who only define Grace as Unmerited Favour can easily be misled to think they can continue in sin as Grace abounds. But in the words of Apostle Paul, God Forbid. Those who define Grace as Access to God's unlimited provisions and supplies tend to be easily misled with the gospel of prosperity (financial, money) Those who define Grace as Enablement for Christ-likeness more often than not tend to be self-righteous. But those who define Grace in the Light of all three definitions walk in the Wholeness of the Manifestation of Grace. Grace truly is the Unmerited Favour of God that gives us Access to the All-sufficiency of God through the blood of Jesus Christ and supplies us with the enablement to be like Christ for the establishment of God's Kingdom and Righteousness. Grace and Understanding to us all. 19 Likes 5 Shares |

Adam is a sinner who deserves to die{Genesis 3:19} so all his children are doomed for life to continue dying and their age limit diminishing! Psalms 49:7-12 Romans 5:12 So for God to have taken the step to redeem Adam's children in order to restore them back to his first plan for Adam which is living forever, it's kindness NOT deserved or GRACE! God's good plans is for OBEDIENT children of DISOBEDIENT Adam, whoever remains disobedient amongst Adam's descendants can't attain to that special favour! So we don't deserve all what God is doing to redeem us,therefore we need to show appreciation for his undeserved kindness{GRACE} That only saving grace is to IDENTIFY his only begotten son who will teach us how to please his father well { John 3:16-18} Jesus laid down the principles and handed it over to few faithful Jews whom he gave the task to go and TEACH all other people! Matthew 28:20 Satan is determined to complicate issues by establishing different kinds of religion all in the name of Jesus{God's son} This will make it difficult for both obedient and arrogant descendants of Adam to know exactly what Jesus taught which is the only saving grace! That is why Satan made sure that all the pioneers of Jesus' teachings were killed but before then they had penned everything down for OBEDIENT individuals to know all that their Master, Lord and King taught them. Revelations 12:17 Today there are many religious groups teaching people what is common traditions of men, but Jesus' true followers are in the neighbourhood ready to teach us the bitter truth that's not according to man's tradition which have been manipulated countless times by Satan! So everywhere people see them, they hate them because their teachings is not in tune with common human traditions! John 17:14-16 While the GRACE is for all, it will only benefit those who are able to IDENTIFY Jesus' true followers whom an ancient prophet called JEWS in a spiritual sense! Zachariah 8:23 That is why another prophet said salvation of many is dicey! Zephaniah 2:2-3 compared to Luke 13:24 Thanks! 5 Likes |

The word grace from the gospel perspective means two different things: 1. The Spirit of God 2. The second chance of God. Now the first was what God had spoken to apostle Paul about, when he told him "my grace is sufficient for you", for it is similar to His saying "it's not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit". Therefore God was actually telling Paul to be more dependent on His Spirit and not on his own personal ability or knowledge to carry out the task that He'd saddled him with, for as He also said "my strength is made perfect in weakness", and God's strength is the capacity of His Spirit. Then grace in the second sense is the window that God created for the righteous and obedient descendants of Adam to enable them escape the eternal damnation of his disobedience which they inherited from him being his seed. Therefore the idea is for the righteous and the obedient not to suffer the consequence of another man's (Adam) decisions or actions having shown that they would have done things differently had they been in man shoes. So it was meant to help them make their obedience and righteousness good and eternal life worthy, as if to wipe the slate clean and start afresh from the beginning, so that by doing what God commanded them to do, they would not perish as man did but have eternal life. So that's the huge job God grace had done for mankind, to give them the same opportunity that man had in the beginning, without the condemnation of any other person's actions upon their own head, for Adam didn't inherit the consequence of any other person's disobedience but only lost his eternal life because of his. So in a sense because of God's grace, if they would be punished, it wouldn't be for Adam's sins(Disobedience) which Jesus died for, but for their own sins(disobedience) just as Adam himself was punished for his own sins(disobedience). So in a nut shell that's what Grace, the second chance of God, has made available to the descendants of Adam. |

jesusjnr: Well said, that's also right. Everything we have in Grace is supplied through the Spirit of God and is another chance given to us undeservedly. My definitions were also derived from the different contexts Grace is used scripturally. Do check the scriptures I referenced. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I think grace has to do with privilege to live without being condemned despite our short comings. It also is the ability and enablement to live a Christ-like life without being carried away. Grace helps us to live in the world without being of the world. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
