From Grace to More Grace.....deno.......share freely.

     

(Ephesians 2:8-10) For BY GRACE we are saved thru faith, and that not of ourselves, it is THE GIFT OF GOD. 9) Not of works, lest we boast our deeds above the power of the Cross of Christ. 10) For we are Gods workmanship, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS unto GOOD WORKS which God hath before ordained that we (who are CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS)  should live doing them).

       Ephesians 2:8-10) shows us that there is a gift by grace, and that there are works of grace, and that there are works accomplished by us thru grace. Grace is how God has done and does everything for us from Adam to Noah, thru the kings and judges of Israel, to Christ who came to us FULL OF GRACE and truth (John 1:16).
        It is by grace that God thru Christ blood, death and resurrection saves us (vs 8) and it is thru grace we do all things for God (for without Christ, His Spirit and grace in us we can DO NOTHING. If we do do things not by Christ or by grace ITS ARTIFICIAL and not of God but of men (Important point there). 
        For since God Himself does all things for us thru Christ and thru grace, do we now go around grace avenue, or side step grace lane and do things on our own grace free? GOD FORBID. We do all things like the Father does, thru Christ and by His all sufficient grace. For whatsoever is not of Christ nor of grace is sin no matter how good it looks on the surface. Such things are man born and not God formed. God does all things thru Christ and By grace and we are called to do all things thru and by the same, thru Christ and His grace. There are all kinds of beliefs and all kinds of religions in the  world that push self discipline, restrictive dieting, and sanctified and somewhat set apart behavior rules but all these false religions and beliefs are wrought from the natural force of man and not by the grace and power of Christ.
       Many false religions demand flesh discipline and demand fastings and demand good deeds of some sort, but in all those deeds, not a one of them is accomplished by Christ, nor by grace, nor by the Love and Spirit of the Lord, but more by imposed Laws backed by threatenings in fear......Know and understand the difference.
       The power of the Cross of Christ and His resurrection saves us BY GRACE. Grace power is how we do the good we are created in Christ Jesus to do. See Ephesians 2:8-10...For whatsoever is not by Christ or by His grace is only of men and not of God. It is because of this truth and because its all by Christ and his grace given us that we rightfully gove Jesus all the praise and all the glory.....deno.......share freely.
