ACCESS TO GOD BY GRACE!​

If “Grace” reigns today, and the Apostle Paul states emphatically that it
does, then it must reign from “the Throne of Grace” in Heaven.

“Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But​
where sin abounded, Grace did much more abound: That as sin​
hath reigned unto death, even so might Grace reign through​
righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord”​
(Rom. 5:20,21).​

Thank God that Grace Was Dispensed when He could have Justly poured out
His Righteous Judgment upon a Christ-rejecting world. There was nothing
in prophecy to prevent His wrath upon mankind except His Own Heart of Love
toward an undeserving world.

God, in Grace, Reached down from heaven to save His chief enemy on earth,
Saul of Tarsus. The very one, who represented a doomed world, was the one
to whom our Lord Was Pleased to Reveal “the Unsearchable Riches” of His Grace.

In the Epistles of St. Paul, we have “Grace” and “Peace” to enter God’s
Presence without fear through the Finished Work of Christ on Calvary:

“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into​
the Holiest By the Blood of Jesus” (Heb. 10:19).​

In this new Dispensation, Jews and Gentiles are bidden by God, Himself, to
come confidently into His Presence “Through Jesus Christ our Lord”:
​
“IN WHOM WE HAVE BOLDNESS AND ACCESS WITH​
CONFIDENCE BY THE FAITH OF HIM” (Eph. 3:11,12).​

Indeed, Old Testament saints could not even imagine the access we have today
into God’s Presence “By His Own Blood” (Heb. 9:12). In Grace He gives us a Full
and Complete Audience whenever we call:

“LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE​
OF GRACE, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY, AND FIND GRACE​
TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” (Heb. 4:14-16).​

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Joh 1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Joh 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Access to God by law?, OR:


The only way to access God today is by Receiving His Son in our hearts -------which comes by way of Saving Grace through Saving Faith ------

Sin and Iniquity keeps God's face turned from anyone who rejects His Son -------

The first verse of chapter five of Matthew tells us that Christ did not change anything of God, and God gave us the law. So we know the law did not change, but the rest of that chapter tells of the difference in the law as it was given in stone and through Christ that same law was given in our hearts. God directed Moses to give us the letter of the law, Christ gave us the spirit of that same law.

Grace was given to us when Adam and Eve disobeyed and death was brought to us. God wants all people to be saved threw forgiveness of sin, and that salvation has always been through blood. as we are told in Lev. 17:11. God gave grace, or the forgiveness of sin, through the symbolic blood of animals. That grace was not complete until Christ was crucified, when the saints rose from their graves and walked the streets of Jerusalem. Matt. 27:52-53;

Threw grace we have forgiveness of sin that lets us have eternal life, but threw grace it is not OK to sin. Through grace Christ lives within us and directs us to reflect his ways. Christ cannot live with sin.
