For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God...

Ephesians 2:8

Wow! Only God could have inspired the writer of this verse... I hope that we come to a full understanding of these few words. And this can only be done by God's Spirit.

For by grace you have been saved...

The church and christians throw this word around... Grace... They say that we are saved by God's grace. They say it is only by the grace of God that we can get into heaven. We sin so much all our lives, we sin so much till we go to the grave... So obviously only by God's grace can we be accepted into heaven. THIS IS NOT WHAT THE GRACE OF GOD IS! The Father molds us and transforms us through Christ Jesus. The Father sends His Holy Spirit through Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit renews us through Christ Jesus. These are examples of God's grace. This is God's grace. This is what saves us... His grace!

So when we read... "you are not under law, but under grace", what does that mean? Well, lets talk a little about a person under law. The person studies the law. He tries to live by the law. So what happens when temptation comes his/her way? They remember the law and try to perform it. But they fail often... Why? Because they still live in the flesh. Sin is still at work within them. Sin is still within the members of their bodies. Does this sound familiar? Who am I describing? If this reminds you of yourself then you are trying to live under law and not under grace. Now, lets talk a little about a person under grace. A person under grace does not rely on himself/herself as does the person under law. They rely on God. They rely on God's grace. They do not have to constantly study the law. Because by God's grace they been renewed to live by the law. Remember the examples of God's grace... The Father molds us and transforms us through Christ Jesus. The Father sends His Holy Spirit through Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit renews us through Christ Jesus. Here are examples of God's grace. So it is by God's grace we are saved. It is by God's grace that sin no longer has us captive. It is by God's grace that sin no longer moves the members of our bodies. It is by God's grace that we have died to our flesh. It is by God's grace that we have become crucified in Christ Jesus. And it is by God's grace that we have raised with Christ Jesus.

For by grace you have been saved through faith...

If you do not have faith then you cannot be saved. If you do not have faith then you cannot receive God's grace. So have faith in God. Have faith in Christ Jesus. You know that God will work in you. So wait and have faith. If you do not believe that He will renew with His Holy Spirit through Jesus then how can he work? If you believe then you will have hope. And if you have hope then you will endure. And if you endure He will recognize it and pour His grace upon you. For by grace you have been saved through faith.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you, it is the gift of God...

So if His grace is a gift then we have no grounds for boasting. How can we brag about ourselves? Didn't we just receive a gift? Who is good? You? No. It is God that is good and it is Him by His grace that He is living in you. So how can you brag? You can't. Did you accomplish fulfilling the law on your own? No. You are fulfilling the law because you are not under the law but under grace. You are fulfilling the law because you have been crucified in Christ Jesus. You are dead to this world because of His grace. You are saved because through faith and patience you have received His gift of grace.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God...

Ephesians 2:8

Compasskid,

You are impressing the heckies out of me!!! (can I say that?) What another wonderful subject and very concise and clear! I'm surprised that this thread did not get more attention because it certainly is a great topic. (maybe this topic is on another forum or something)

Thanks again and I'll be looking out for your threads.

Blessings,

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
