JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED DESIRES TO GIVE US HIS MERCY AND GRACE WHICH IS WHAT WE NEED EACH SECOND OF OUR EARTHLY LIVES TO PLEASE GOD ACCORDING TO THE RIGHTEOUS STANDARD OF GOD:
"And if you had only known what this saying means, I desire mercy [readiness to help, to spare, to forgive] rather than sacrifice and sacrificial victims, you would not have condemned the guiltless." (Matthew 12:7 AMPC)
Jesus desires to *give human being MERCY OF GOD fresh each second WHICH IS THE ONLY CAPACITY that human being can use TO PLEASE GOD ACCORDING TO THE RIGHTEOUS STANDARD OF GOD*; He is not interested in *receiving our self-righteousness/efforts/intelligence/logic/ideologies/philosophies/dogmas/doctrines/strengths/might/power*
thus
"Praised (honored, blessed) be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)! By *His boundless/overflowing/abundant/exceeding mercy* we have been *born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead*,
4 *[Born anew] into "an inheritance" which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,*
5 Who are *being guarded (garrisoned) by "God’s power" through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time.* " (1 Peter 1:3-5 AMPC)
It is the *acceptance of this MERCY FROM JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED* that enables any human being *to recognize and use effectively the grace of God which is "available inside every human being whether believer or unbeliever" to repent from sin, receive salvation ONLY THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS DEATH AND RESURRECTION then continue to manifest consistent and progressive LIFESTYLE OF THE NEW CREATION MAN IN CHRIST TILL ETERNITY*
thus
"Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it]." (Hebrews 4:16 AMPC)
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may *obtain mercy*, and *find grace* to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16 KJV)
"For the *grace of God* that *brings salvation(causes brokenness of human heart towards sin, repentance from sin/flesh and confession of faith in the finished works of Jesus Christ on the Cross and Eternal Life in His Resurrection from death)* has *appeared to all men(human beings)*,
12 this same grace teaches us how to resist/reject/renounce(say "no" to) sin, this same grace teaches us how to resist/reject/renounce(say "no" to) worldly lusts/passions/emotions/imaginations, this same grace teaches us how to live holy(GOD-NATURED) lives on this earth consistently and progressively through all the private and public circumstances of our daily lives (here in Nigeria/Europe/USA as married or singles), this same grace teaches us how to live righteous(morality) lives on this earth consistently and progressively through all the private and public circumstances of our daily lives (here in Nigeria/Europe/USA as married or singles), and this same grace teaches us how to live self-controlled(disciplined) lives on this earth consistently and progressively through all the private and public circumstances of our daily lives (here in Nigeria/Europe/USA as married or singles), in this present world(not inside Heave after our biological death);
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and *the glorious appearing of "the great God" and our Saviour Jesus Christ* ;" (Titus 2:11-13)
"Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, *let us have grace*, *whereby we may "serve God acceptably" with reverence and godly fear:*
29 For our God is a consuming fire." (Hebrews 12:28-29 KJV)
"Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For *it is a good thing that the heart be established/strengthened with grace*; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein." (Hebrews 13:9 KJV)
"Follow *peace with all men, and holiness*, *without which no man shall see the Lord*:
15 Looking diligently *lest any man fail of the grace of God*; *lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled*;
16 *Lest there be any "fornicator", or "profane person", as "Esau", who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: *for he found no place of repentance*, though *he sought it carefully with tears* ." (Hebrews 12:14-17 KJV)
We are not talking about grace gotten from allah or pastor or priest or human being or muhammed or nature or humanism RATHER THE GRACE FOUND IN JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED WHO IS THE SON OF GOD AND WHO IS ALSO GOD
thus
"Thou therefore, my son, *be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus* ." (2 Timothy 2:1 KJV)
"He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them *gave He "power" to become the "sons of God", even to them that believe on his name*:
13 Which *were born*, "not of blood", nor of the "will of the flesh", nor of the "will of man", *but of God*.
14 And the *Word was made flesh(human being)*, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) *full of grace and truth* ." (John 1:11-14 KJV)
