What Is GRACE?

[Grace ambassador]

Excellent 'link' = What Is Grace? (Two Minutes With The Bible)

Precious friends, the following is just a small portion of God's Wonderful Grace Doctrine:

A) Generally, across all of God's Dispensations, we find:

God's "Unmerited Favor" Upon All mankind, both the just and also the unjust:​

"That ye may be the children of your Father Which is in heaven: for He Maketh His sun to rise on​

the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 6:45 AV)​

B) Specifically, In God's Current:

Dispensation Of Grace ( "Given To Paul" Ephesians 3:2; Colossians 1:25 AV ), According to God's Revelation Of​

The Mystery ( where, In Paul's writings, Romans Through Philemon, Grace Is Found A Large Total Of 70 Times! ):​

1) In God's Relationship With His children, Grace ( Unmerited Favor ) Is His Method For Eternal Salvation:​

"Being Justified Freely By His Grace Through The [ ALL-Sufficient ] Redemption ​

That Is In Christ Jesus" ( Romans 3:24 cp Ephesians 2:5, 8-9; Titus 3:4-7 AV )​

God's Amazing Grace Has "No works" added to It For His Eternal Salvation Given To sinners:​

"And if By Grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise Grace is no more Grace. But if it​

be of works, then is it no more Grace: otherwise work is no more work." (Romans 11:6 AV)​

"To The Praise Of The Glory Of His Grace, Wherein He Hath Made us Accepted In The Beloved! In Whom we​

have Redemption Through His BLOOD, The Forgiveness of sins, According To The Riches Of His Grace!!"​

(Ephesians 1:6-7 AV)​

After receiving general Grace, and then The Initial Glorious Grace For "Justification and Peace" From God...:​

"Therefore being Justified By faith, we have Peace With God Through our Lord Jesus Christ:"​

(Romans 5:1 AV):​

...Then:​

2) In our "fellowship With God", His Grace Is On-Going, In Which we "have access and stand":​

"By Whom also we have access by faith into This Grace Wherein​

we stand, and rejoice in hope of The Glory of God." (Romans 5:2 AV)​

a) On-Going and ALL-Sufficient Grace For:​

1) "Power of Christ" in our infirmities!:​

"And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given​

to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.​

For this thing I besought The Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 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."​

(2 Corinthians 12:7-9 AV)​

2) On-Going Grace For Putting on the "Whole Armour of God", and standing! (Ephesians 6:10-24 AV)​

3) God's Gift Of On-Going Grace Is Very Abundant! "...Abounding Unto Many..." (Romans 5:15-21 AV)​

4) Daily personal sanctification, By On-Going Grace, along with Mercy, Through Paul, Beseeches us:​

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the Mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living​

sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed​

to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is​

that Good, and Acceptable, and Perfect Will of God.​

For I say, Through The Grace Given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of​

himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God Hath Dealt​

To every man the measure of faith" (Romans 12:1-3 AV)​

5) Grace Is A Teacher:​

"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" (Titus 2:11-14 AV)​

b) On-Going Grace: ​

1) Until God's Great GRACE Departure, for building up and receiving inheritance:​

"And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to The Word Of His Grace, Which Is Able To​

build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified" (Acts 20:32 AV)​

2) And Then, Still On-Going: God's Exceeding Riches In The Eternal Ages To Come!:​

"That in the ages to come He might Shew The Exceeding Riches Of His Grace​

In His Kindness Toward us Through Christ Jesus." ( Ephesians 2:7 AV )​

C) Precious friends:

"The Grace Of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen."​

(or similar, at "The End" of all 13 of Paul's Grace letters...)​

And, Please Be Very Richly Encouraged And Edified In The Amazing GRACE Of​

The Lord Jesus Christ, and In His Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided!​

God's
Riches
At
Christ's
EXPENSE!

In Hebrew numerology the number 6 represents Grace.
Shalom

lol no 5 represents grace 6 represents man 7 represent perfection and 8 represents resurrection

 

[Olde Tymer]

.
● John 1:14 . .The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have
seen his glory, the glory of the one and Only, who came from the Father, full of
grace and truth.

The Greek word translated "grace" basically pertains to graciousness; defined by
Webster's as kind, courteous, inclined to good will, generous, charitable, merciful,
altruistic, compassionate, thoughtful, cordial, affable, genial, sociable, cheerful,
warm, sensitive, considerate, and tactful.

Cordial stresses warmth and heartiness

Affable implies easy to approach, and readiness to respond pleasantly to
conversation or requests or proposals

Genial stresses cheerfulness and even joviality

Sociable suggests a genuine liking for the companionship of others

Generous is characterized by a noble or forbearing spirit; viz: magnanimous, kindly,
and liberal in giving

Charitable means full of love for, and goodwill toward, others; viz: benevolent,
tolerant, and lenient.

Altruistic means unselfish regard for, or devotion to, the welfare of others; viz: a
desire to be of service to others for no other reason than it just feels good to do so.

Compassionate pertains to a sympathetic awareness of others' distress combined
with a desire to alleviate it.

Tactful indicates a keen sense of what to do, or say, in order to maintain good
relations with others in order to resolve and/or avoid unnecessary conflict.

If every card-carrying Christian would practice graciousness, it would go a long ways
toward toning down some of the animosity prevalent on internet forums.

● Col 4:6 . . Let your conversation be always full of grace

lol no 5 represents grace 6 represents man 7 represent perfection and 8 represents resurrection

You are wrong. I already posted this before.
6 never represented man. Yeshua was pierced 6 times, Yeshua's first .miracle at Cana involved 6 pots. Man was created on the 6th day. I could go pn but you should get the point. This is grace. The number 5 in Hebrew numerology means lacking. When a Jew myself included when we give to charity it's always a multiple of 18.
Why? Because 6 represents grace and 3 represents blessing.
You Christians need to educate yourselves on Hebrew.
Shalom

 

[David Koberstein]

lol no 5 represents grace 6 represents man 7 represent perfection and 8 represents resurrection

Because there are 42 generations from Avraham to Yeshua. Means the number 6 represents grace and the the number 7 represents completion. 6 = Grace x 7= Completion = God's grace is completed in Yeshua Hamashiach.
Shalom

6 never represented man. Yeshua was pierced 6 times, Yeshua's first .miracle at Cana involved 6 pots. Man was created on the 6th day.

It may help if you realize Yeshua was a man.

Held the glory of God in a man.

And took the punishment men deserved.

 

[David Koberstein]

It may help if you realize Yeshua was a man.

Held the glory of God in a man.

And took the punishment men deserved.

But Yeshua was never created on the 6th day.
6 has always represented grace in Jewish and Hebrew thought and practice. The number 6 is represented in our present day giving to charities and in the genealogies from Avraham to Yeshua. It also represents the 6 covenants in the Tanakh.
It may help if your learn Hebrew numerology and practices.
Shalom

Grace is God's unmerited favor in which He shows us mercy, kindness, and patience instead of the judgment that we deserve for sinning against Him. God's grace cannot be earned by our actions/performance/works.

Grace is based on the character of God and not on our sincerity, performance, or ability to keep the law. Otherwise, grace would not be grace.

Romans 11:6, "But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace."

Galatians 2:21, "I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."

2 Timothy 1:9, "who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity."

God's grace operates sovereignly in the lives of believers.

1 Corinthians 15:10 - But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

2 Corinthians 1:12 - For our proud confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.

2 Corinthians 12:9 - And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
