'But now .. the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, .... being witnessed by the law and the prophets; ...... 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: ............ for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by His grace .. through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: .... Whom God hath set forth ...... to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, ........ to declare His righteousness .......... for the remission of sins that are past, ............ through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time His righteousness: .. that He might be just, .... and the justifier of Him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? - It is excluded. By what law? of works? - Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.’ (Rom 3:21-28)
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound. That saves a wretch like me!
Praise God!
* I love God's But now's * Thank you, Yowm.
In Christ Jesus Chris AS I read what this sister had said to yowm. the very thing that popped in my head was this . They love them BUT NOWS, BUT what about ALL THOSE IFS , What about those IF s Not so much or they would not always try and change them into some other meaning . IF you continue in HIS GOODNESS , otherwise you cut off. IF you continue in me , if a man continues not in me he is cast off. I DONT THINK they love those IFS , for IF they did, WHY WOULD THEY CHANGE THEM . We must LOVE ALL that bible or we never loved any of it .

People just don't want to obey God. That's really all there is to it. They're self-loving, "me"-centered people, who want God's blessings and promises without any conditions. It's all about them. "Praising" God for His mercy is just silver dross on a potsherd (fervent lips with an evil heart). What they're really saying is: "Thank You, God, that I can sin and not worry about it, and don't have to obey You, because You don't expect me to and Jesus' blood covers all of my sins (even if I don't repent of them), and You're still going to bless me because You love me so much (even though I don't really love You!)" That's a horrible insult to God, and disobedient people with evil hearts like this can't disguise themselves with their lips. God knows what they're really about. They can thank Him all day long, but they're still going to reap the consequences of disobeying Him, just like the Scriptures warn. (Only fools dismiss the warnings and the commands of the New Testament and only read about the blessings and the promises.) Amazing grace indeed! (If it's so amazing, why don't you USE it instead of receiving it in vain? That's some way to show God how "thankful" you are. How 'bout you thank Him by using it? They ought to change the title of the hymn to "I'm Wasting Grace"...)

They ought to change the title of the hymn to "I'm Wasting Grace"...) Many people have a misunderstanding of the grace of God. Most of them just see it as an excuse to sin, while in reality it is meant for the opposite.
Well, I believe that any sheep after knowing that they are wasting grace... And missing a lot by doing it, and saddening the Lord, they will immediately repent.
Those who despise the grace of God will hear: "I never knew", or "I do not know you"... From Him.
"But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’" - Luke 13:27
And people who despise such amazing grace - which enables us to do things that is pleasing in His sight with a sincere heart - cannot understand it because their hearts indeed are not for the righteousness and love of God; but they are just finding something to have a false sense of peace while they practice their sins.
"that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." - 2 Thessalonians 2:12
Others indeed are very deceived, and are frightened to exit this mindset in fear of "working to be saved" and be condemned by doing so, or to fall in huge disapproval from the crowd they are in.
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." - 2 Timothy 1:7
"For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men" - 1 Peter 2:15
"And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." - Colossians 3:17
Well, to those who are confused I say that they can receive the grace of God; start reading the New Testament from zero with a sincere heart and a new mind.
And the Lord will certainly open your eyes to the truth.
"And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God." - 1 Corinthians 2:4-5
God bless you all in Jesus' name!

That is what most miss out on . IS the Grace of GOD . And what a wonder working power it truly is . Take one of the most wicked things and put in them a whole new heart. WHEN JESUS said GOD desires people to worship HIM in SPIRIT and in TRUTH . THAT is all the work of Grace. ONLY as paul once said , Lest ye have received the grace of GOD in vain . Grace converts the soul . The grace that brings salvation Teaches us to deny the ungodliness and wordly lusts . Grace alone is how one is saved , even drawn to Christ . But many fail of Grace. JESUS knew what can kill the walk. SIN . Sin is a killer and lust will choke the word, spirit , RIGHT out of one . WHY do we think The early church was so dire and grave about error. Numeber one the error of thinking anything BUT JESUS saves us , but also the error of thinking JESUS is the minister of sin . ONLY JESUS saves , AND HE IS NOT the minister of sin . NOW HOW SIMPLE is that . No need for scholars , JUST the DIRE NEED of the SPIRIT . Sure makes plain what man and men complicate . Such a simple walk in CHRIST . Lets sum it up real easy . ONLY JESUS saves , ONLY BY GRACE are we saved , ONLY we better HEED the SPIRIT , we better continue IN HIM . NOW HOW SIMPLE IS THAT .
