Grace isn't what many people it is. Grace isn't unmerited favour, the only favour unmerited in the scriptures was the death of Christ, and there was correspondent action to accept it by believing Christ. if Grace was truly unmerited favour why isn't every christain rich and driving cars. 2pet 3:18- say grow in grace grace is knowledge, and what you do with the knowledge that produces a result. ask anyone who has more grace than you do in a particular area, he would tell you he did something and knows something more than you do. therefore, grow in grace. study the word and apply it and see yourself get results. grace comes with knowledge and ability, you grow in grace else you will stagnant. Grace is not unmerited favour 1 Like 1 Share |

Grace is the Word of God spoken to man that makes him different from animals and rule other creatures. Grace is God's love to mankind expressed in His Word. Grace is like lecture, when we take Him seriously, He is sufficient for us to pass all life examinations. Man never deserved his position in creation, he enjoys that privilege purely because that is the plan of God. David expressed this very well when after meditation he exclaimed "what is man the thou hath mindful of him?". Now, Grace is a He. He is the mind of God, He is the desire of God revealed to man, He is the manual for human lives, He is the Bible and He is Jesus Christ, in Him is Life and the Life is the Light of men. He was spoken to Adam (mankind) in the beginning but the devil was able to make Adam disregard Him. God decides to give us the second and better chance so the Word became flesh (like us) and dwell amongst us (accessible to us). Grace (The Word of God) is all we need in life, every other need is domicile in Him. Grace has two major parts, they are; blessing part (thou may freely eat of the fruit of the garden) and sanctification part (but of the tree that is in the middle if the garden, thou shall not eat). One part is invalid without the other part. Many of us only want God to bless us but we don't want to be under Him, but Grace is not for selfishness, it is for godliness (another word for self denial). Those who are lured, deceived or threatened into turning their backs on Grace automatically are faced with disgrace and shame sometimes without knowing it until God shows up at the dawn of the new day and all the counsel of the devil that seems to be covering their unclothedness are found to be inadequate. Please have active faith in the Grace of God and enjoy everlasting life. God bless you. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

tititaiwo44:Grace is not Mercy ....Grace is unmerited favour. Its by God's Mercy that you are rich not Grace. The Grace of God guaranteed Salvation not Wealth The unmerited favour is related to Salvation 1Cor 15 9 For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God I am what I am, 1 Like 1 Share |

Conqueror89:I never mention the name of any group Sir! I only presented my own understanding of the term GRACE. So if you have found my presentation really appealing and noticed a group that is fitting to all what is written in the Bible book of Matthew chapter 10, don't wait a second! That's your ONLY saving grace! Find them and join them now! Because whatever your heart tells you regarding righteousness is vital now! Remember what the first Jews who joined the Christians did at Pentecost 33ce. After listening to Peter's speech, they asked from their broken hearts 'Men, brothers, what should we do?' Act 2:37 So if your heart is telling you after reading through my post {when i never mentioned any group} that so and so group is it, Please! Please!! Please!!! Don't waste the next second, locate them quickly and start learning what to do from them! If you joined the crowd {many people out of love for the majority} you have only succeeded in deceiving your own soul! Exodus 23:2 compared to James 4:17 If there is ONE God {Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29} and if there is ONE Lord who will teach us the way to salvation {John 14:6} surely there must be just ONE group UNITEDLY practicing what that ONE Lord teaches! Ephesians 4:5 May God bless you! 2 Likes 1 Share |

johnw47:'By their fruth' says Jesus Matthew 7:15-20 I just made a short presentation and the honest observer could quickly notice a group in the midst of whom he could find such FRUIT! So let all men be liars and ONLY God be true! Romans 3:4 I never mentioned the name of any group!

Maximus69: Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. yes they are known by their fruits, and you false jw's are among the biggest false prophets around, ask if you want me to post some of them again and talk about wolves in sheep's clothing, those verses are talking of you false jw's Maximus69: I just made a short presentation and the honest observer could quickly notice a group in the midst of whom he could find such FRUIT! so you wasn't referring to your jw orginisation when you said "That's your ONLY saving grace! Find them and join them now!" which of course is a lie, grace is a gift from God not from one of satans church's Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God like i keep pointing out, you false jw's cannot stop lying Maximus69: |

johnw47:All you need is to relax your brains and think over what you're saying Sir! If true Christians are in all religious groups claiming Christians, then Jesus wouldn't have mentioned blind guides LEADING THEIR FOLLOWERS TO DESTRUCTION! Matthew 15:14 And if someone should claim to be a Christian today, you will not feel comfortable if he tells you he worships with some certain religious group, for instance 'Jehovah's Witnesses' Definitely NOT all groups lead to Christ! Matthew 7:13-14 So if an individual could sense a group that fits all the qualities mentioned in a post and quoted from the scriptures, without doubt 'that is his ONLY saving grace' Because the scriptures says it is a sin knowing the right thing and NOT doing it! James 4:17 We're searching for the lost sheep of the house of Israel Sir, and evidently all SHEEP knows that THEY MUST ALWAYS BE IN THE COMPANY OF OTHER SHEEP AS A FOLD! John 10:16,27 That is why the one asking demanded to know the group with which he should associate{ Matthew 24:28} for undiluted spiritual nourishment during this end time when mankind is experiencing a global SPIRITUAL famine! Amos 8:11 ![]() |
Re: What Is Grace? by johnw47: 7:31am On Jun 04, 2019 |
Maximus69: you are talking nonsense, there are many true christians from many diffrent denominations but there are not many true christians from all religious groups for instance there are no true christians in the false jw orginisation, who lie like hell and believe in many false doctrines etc. Maximus69: if he worships with the false jw's then he is deceived and not christian, yes that's true Maximus69: as i said that person would be deceived thinking that the false jw's are his saving grace let alone his only saving grace, you worldly lot love leaving God out of your equasions and you max helped his deception by not telling him that saving grace is from God: Mat_23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God |

Maximus69: talker of much nonsense max, God is capable of all things that He wills, of course and of course you false jw's love to constantly make up your lies and nonsense, but then you are evil false jw, aren't you Joh_8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. |

Maximus69: Joh 8:25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. Jesus had earlier professed to be the light of the world the bread that came down from heaven etc. but again these disbelievers asked who He is you phony max often post scripture that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand but that's part of your running away act just like you often say sarcasticaly: "you are blessed", when you cannot reply to the truth provided everything about you false jw's is false run run run run runaway, max |
