The misunderstanding of grace has probably caused the word not to work properly for close to 2000 years. In 1500 Martin Luther shocked the church with “the Righteous shall live by faith” – Rom. 3:27 & 28 Had we been flowing in grace, we would not have been upset by Luther. Trying to live by performance, sacrifices and dead works has left an undesirable aroma – (it is a struggle for the world to find salvation).
Eph. 2:5,8 – “It is by God’s grace that you have been saved.” I am not a sinner saved by grace. I am 100% righteous, 2 Cor. 5:17 & Rom. 5:16, 17 and therefore established in grace and growing in grace. “My spirit is perfect, even though my soul and body may not be.” (Andrew Wommack – Spirit, soul, and body.)
Heb. 4:11 CSB -“Let us then make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience.” (dead works) (Right believing is Right living) We are encouraged to come with confidence and not be afraid of God. – Heb. 6:9 ..Sure of better things 8:6 ..a ministry (of New Covenant) much more excellent than the old one & 4:16 “Let us come boldly…and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” Think on this. We can move from Saved by grace to Living in Grace from here into eternity. Meditation = Penetration. Be unselfish and give God more time than the TV. Our confidence is built in the New Covenant. 2 Cor. 3:4-6. We urge you not to receive the grace (undeserved favour, unfair advantage) of God in vain or count it as meaningless. Gal 2:21, 2 Cor 6:1 Seek the Lord while He may be found.
The place of rest is available, but for me it came through a work out and a meditation on grace. *I accept that this tract is detailed, but I encourage the reader to meditate on it piece by piece and allow God to go to work.+ The peace was permanent as grace got secured. No more performance is required to fulfil the 10 commandments. When I rest (stop performing) God works.
Grace through faith will fulfil the law “by accident”.
