Understanding God's Grace #2
What the Scriptures say
UNDERSTANDING THE GRACE OF GOD #2 GRACE OF GOD Gen. 15:6. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Gen. 20:6. And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. Deut. 7:6. For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. 7. The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people. 8. But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypy. 9. Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations. Deut. 9:4. Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD bath brought me in to this land: but for the wickedness of here nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee. 5. Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart; dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD aware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 6. Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people. Job 10:12. Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. Job 22:2. Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself. 3. Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to hm, that thou makest thy ways perfect? Psa. 94:17. Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. 18. When I said, My foot slippeth: thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. 19. In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. Psa. 138:3. In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. Psa. 143:11. Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. Dan. 9.18. O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. Dan. 10:18. Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me. 19. And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not peace be unto thee; be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me; I was strengthened, and said, Let my Lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. John 6:44. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 45. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. John 17:11. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost; but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 15. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. Acts 4:29. And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 30. By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. Acts 26:22. Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great. Rom. 322. Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Rom. 4:4. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 16. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed. Rom. 5:2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for its. 15. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. 18. Therefore as by the offence of one judqment came upon all men to condemnation: even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. 21. That as sin hath reigned unto death, oven so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 9:10. And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; 11. (For the children, being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth). 12. It was said unto her, the elder shall serve the younger. 13. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 14. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. Rom. 11:5. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6. 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. 1 Cor. 1:4. I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ. 5. That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge. 6. Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you 7. So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8. Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 10:13. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Cor. 15:10. By the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 2 Cor. 1:12. Our rejoicing is this, the testiinony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. Gal. 1:15. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood. Eph. 1:5. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will. 6. To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. 8. Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence. 9. Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself. 11. In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will. 12. That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Eph. 2:8. By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. 9. Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph. 3:16. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man. Eph. 4:7. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Eph. 6:10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Phil. 1:19. For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Phil. 2:13. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 1 Thess.1:1. Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thess. 5:28; 2 Pet. 1:2. 1 Tim. 1:14. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 1:1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 9. Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. Tit. 3:7. That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 1 Pet. 1:5. Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Pet. 4:10. As good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Pet. 5:10, But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. Jude 1. Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and reserved in Jesus Christ, and called: 21. Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 24. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25. To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Rev. 3:10. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the word, to try them that dwell upon the earth. ..........
