[TD="colspan: 3, align: left"]If someone asks you, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” you would probably tell him, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved,” wouldn’t you?

Well, a rich, young ruler asked Jesus the same question, but instead of telling him to believe in Him, Jesus gave him the law. (Mark 10:17–22)
Jesus saw that the young ruler lived his life taking pride in his ability to keep the law to earn salvation and the favor of God. But because of His love for the man, Jesus had to show him that those who live by the law must realize that their self-efforts cannot save them.
He therefore reminded him, “You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery…‘Do not steal...‘Honor your father and your mother.’”

The young ruler showed that his trust was in his law-keeping when he replied, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.”
So Jesus had to tell him, “One thing you lack…sell whatever you have and give to the poor…and come…and follow Me.” When the young ruler heard that, he walked away sorrowful.

When we boast of having kept the law, it will always point out something we lack or have failed to obey. The law is so holy and perfect that if we don’t keep even one iota of it, it has no choice but to judge and curse us. (Galatians 3:10) That is what the law was designed to do.
God does not want us to boast in our abilities to keep the law. If we are to have confidence in anything at all, if we are to boast in anything at all, it is in the grace of God.

Only His grace can completely keep, save, heal, deliver and bless us.

So let’s not boast in what we have done or are able to do, but boast in His grace for us—that He is our strength, health, favor, provision, wisdom, hope, salvation and glory. That is how we will see ourselves enjoying our inheritance of abundant life! He, the Lord Jesus is our true abundant life and treasure.

[crossnote]

I don't want to make 'grace' an idol, so I'll boast in the Lord, thank you.

Psalm 34:1-2 KJVS
[1] I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
[2] My soul shall make her boast in the Lord : the humble shall hear thereof , and be glad.

 

[HeRoseFromTheDead]

GOD's grace gives us the ability to do GOD's will.

Psalm 34:1-2 KJVS
[1] I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
[2] My soul shall make her boast in the Lord : the humble shall hear thereof , and be glad.

I've noticed that the 'grace' teachers keep giving it away in what they write. Here Prince says to boast in grace. Scripture says to boast in GOD.

The Holy Spirit and Scripture points to Jesus.
The hyper grace people are definitely making grace an idol. Turning us from the Giver and Source of all grace to grace as an end in and of itself.

That's your perception, not the reality.

11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It [Grace] teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled,upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. (from Titus 2)​

According to the passage above, an argument can be made that Grace is the the Holy Spirit, or at least a primary attribute of the Holy Spirit. It is GRACE that teaches us. And since the Holy Spirit, God the Father, and God the Son are One . . . Grace is a primary attribute of Them all.

Grace always points to Christ \/!

[Blain]

For all who think that the op is making of idol of grace and not God i think you misunderstood.
yes i know people have a thing against hypergrace and I know many have different idea what hypergrace is but if you allow your dislike of hypergrace to cloud your judgement then you will miss out on a lot.
grace is not something you can make an idol of before God because God is grace Jesus is the physical being the physical embodiment of grace so when we boast in his grace we boast in his son.

 

[Grace777x70]

It is all by the gospel of the grace of Christ that we live now....saved by grace, kept by grace, in the ages to come the Father will be showing the surpassing richness of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ.

talking about His grace is boasting in the Lord and what He has done in His finished work.

I don't know why you are so bitter about the grace of God shown in the Lord Jesus Christ.....

I don't want to make 'grace' an idol, so I'll boast in the Lord, thank you.

Psalm 34:1-2 KJVS

I honestly don't think crossnote is bitter about Grace - he's only going on what others' evaluation of so-called 'Hyper-Grace'. His perception is clouded by the lens placed in front of him by others.

[Grace777x70]

It's the grace of God in Christ that works through us to a lost and dying world.

1 Corinthians 15:10 (NASB)
[SUP]10 [/SUP] But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

Here we are saved by grace:

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NASB)
[SUP]8 [/SUP] For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
[SUP]9 [/SUP] not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Paul left the brethren with the grace of God.

Acts 13:43 (NASB)
[SUP]43 [/SUP] Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and of the God-fearing proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were urging them to continue in the grace of God.



Paul was testifying to the gospel of the grace of God

Acts 20:24 (NASB)
[SUP]24 [/SUP] "But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God.


Here Paul is leaving the elders to God and to the word of His grace ...which is able to build them up and give them an inheritance.
Acts 20:32 (NASB)
[SUP]32 [/SUP] "And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.


Being declared righteous is by His grace.


Romans 3:24 (KJV)
[SUP]24 [/SUP] Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:


There are literally tons of scriptures that speak to His grace but I will end with this one ...which says for the ages to come..He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus

Ephesians 2:7 (NASB)
[SUP]7 [/SUP] so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

John 1:17 KJVS
[17] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.


Hebrews 4:15-16 KJVS
[15] For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. [16] Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

We come to Jesus to receive grace, we don't come to grace to receive Jesus.
Your example from Titus 2 only shows that grace comes through the Person of Jesus.

I"m not bitter about God's grace, just those that misrepresent it.

No it's 'clouded' by my understanding of Scripture.

 

[Grace777x70]

I'm sorry you don't see what is being said about the loveliness of our Lord Jesus and what He has done for us ...so I will leave you with these 2 scriptures and hope that the last one does not apply...bless you.

Acts 20:32 (NASB)
[SUP]32 [/SUP] "And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

Hebrews 12:15 (NASB)
[SUP]15 [/SUP] See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

I"m not bitter about God's grace, just those that misrepresent it.

 

[Grace777x70]

Amen!

The reality is that they are all intertwined...here the Son of God and the Spirit of grace are talked about.

Hebrews 10:29 (NASB)
[SUP]29 [/SUP] How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Here all 3 of them are together....

2 Corinthians 13:14 (NASB)
[SUP]14 [/SUP] The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

You are right...all grace points to Jesus by the Spirit of grace. Grace is all about Jesus and what He has done for us in His finished work on the cross and resurrection and now He is sitting on the throne at the right hand of the Father.

That's your perception, not the reality.

11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It [Grace] teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled,upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

[Grace777x70]

Amen!...I agree 100%

......so one could argue ( if they didn't know the difference ).....that you are boasting in the cross....aren't we supposed to be boasting in the Lord?.....( which means that all of us that liked your post..including me...are guilty of boasting in something other then the Lord )......selah

Just as my signature reads: Galatians 6:14 - But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Man what happened in this bible discussion forum?

I never heard of 'hyper grace' until the last few months coming to post in this forum. I am thinking the OSAS or not threads have been translated to 'hyper grace'.

Many would probably put me in the 'hyper grace' camp.. but what does that mean? That I believe Jesus' payment for my sin is all sufficient? What is 'hyper' about that?

I don get it!

I know right? I just came on to cc one day and saw a thread with the words hyper grace didn't really feel like checking it out but when i did boy was I confused oh and looking up the meaning online? Pointless it's literally new existed word even now because of how many ideas of what hyper grace is I just stick to knowing that God's grace is a free gift has no limits except for when we live our lives without accepting his gift and then die but I don't want to get into the whole heaven and hell debate that one is a massive mess
