Praise God for His enduring grace and long suffering with us & thank you for this awesome message. The deeper I go in Gods grace, the more I look around and see how afar off the church is today. Well meaning pastors preaching our doctrine from the Gospel accounts, combining Paul’s doctrine with Christs earthly ministry and not seeing the vast differences & audiences, teaching grace with a “but clause”, mixing grace with tradition, saying Peter, James & John preached the same Gospel that Paul did which they didn’t & the list goes on. More sin conscious than anything else. Calvinism, Arminianism, all man made philosophy that is causing mass confusion and false converts & all the while treading underfoot the grace so freely given to us through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, ignoring the simplicity that is in Christ. All throughout Gods dealings with man He has given instructions to His people & today our instruction is to put our faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ and you will be saved. How difficult is it to understand “not of yourselves”? How difficult is it to see “you are not under law but under grace”? Clearly God is trying to motivate us all by this free gift given while we were still sinners, to stop all the working, stop all the traditions in order to gain favour from God and realise that He gives freely so that our motivation would be out of gratitude rather than duty or requirement. Praise God that He has removed the scales from our eyes. 2 Timothy 2:15…show thyself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth. God bless
