From Generation To Generation

Precious friends, Exactly what should be passed on to our offspring? Confusion? or:

"Each generation needs to take a stand for The Gospel of The Grace of God (Acts 20:24) and
pass it along to the next. The Apostle Paul commanded young Timothy (the next generation)
in 2 Timothy 2:1,2 to “be strong in The Grace That Is In Christ Jesus” and to commit The Message
“to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”

In the context of this letter, Paul was referring to The Grace Message given to him By Revelation
(Eph. 3:1-12), Which must be passed on. One example of passing along a message is found when
Moses charged Joshua to be strong in the law of Moses. In Joshua 1:7, we read,

“Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according​
to all the law, which Moses My servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right​
hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.”​

This is how the law worked with the nation of Israel. But today, in The Dispensation of Grace, you
won’t prosper under the law, as Paul discovered in his own life (Rom. 7:7-25). However, believers
can prosper under The Grace Message. Maybe you’re wondering how you can prosper?

The answer is simple—follow the commands of The Lord Jesus Christ given to Paul. Begin by
understanding that the believer is blessed “with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ”
(Eph. 1:3). This includes Redemption and The Forgiveness of sins, all “According to The Riches of
His Grace” (Eph. 1:7). Believers are Justified By His Grace and are “made heirs according to the
Hope Of Eternal Life” (Titus 3:7).

Being strong in God’s Grace means following the instructions in Titus 2:11-14,

“For The Grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that​
denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in​
this present world; Looking for That Blessed Hope, and The Glorious Appearing of The Great​
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who Gave Himself For us, that He might Redeem us from​
all iniquity, and Purify Unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”​

Being strong in Grace also means learning life lessons, such as in 2 Corinthians 12:9, where The Lord
told Paul, “…My Grace Is Sufficient For thee.” Pass The Truth of God’s Word to the next generation so
they can stand boldly for His Grace!" (J Tollar)

(emphasis mine - G a) Amen.
