When I totally realized, and knew beyond the shadow of a doubt, that I deserved absolutely NOTHING from God or anybody else, the grace of God shown brighter to me than ever before. I have never had as much peace as I have today because of that. He said to me; "You are because I AM."

Just sharing.

Today someone said to me they had done nothing wrong... oh it brings home the True love and Grace of GOD who gave His only begotten Son perfect without sin truly having done no wrong yet treated with such contemp.. yes it came to pass for our Salvation but it shows how wicked we are and need to be made New... and all done with us being so undeserving...

Thank you My Lord always and forever.
 
Personal testimonies of God's grace through Christ are certainly welcomed. Come on, let us glorify our Saviour, Christ Jesus OUR LORD!

Welcome to the Doctrines of Grace, the Word of God will be opened open in a way that will bring much joy to know it all to the glory of God. You will read Scripture and see things that you have read before and ask yourself why didn't I see that before? It by God's grace that opens your understanding.

When we realize how screwed up I am and how holy the Lord is, it first stirs up the awe and fear of the Lord and I understood the need for repentance with a deeper understanding. When I realized all I had to offer the Lord was my sin, I truely began to understand grace and how bad I needed it for me salvation.

Acts 7:54 Now when they heard these things they
were enraged, and they ground their teeth at him.

55 But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the
glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

56 And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and
the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

57 But they cried out with a loud voice and
stopped their ears and rushed together at him.

58 Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses
laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

59 And as they were stoning Stephen, he called
out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”

60 And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not
hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

He suffer for a few hour and now, Happy for 2000 years. Grace some time acompanied by cross. But worth.
 
One of my favorite verses:

Hebrews 4:

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.


To come boldly means that we may approach the throne with freedom of speech, .

Thayer's describes it as of the undoubting confidence of Christians relative to their fellowship wth God.


Because our High Priest, Jesus Christ, was touched with the feeling of our infirmities, and was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin, we can now enter into the throne room of God and openly speak to Father so that we may receive much needed mercy and grace in our time of need.
 
Psalms 100:3 - Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
