"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen." (2Co 13:14).
What is Grace?
It is Favour before God. It's the privilege given to stand before the King of kings, and LORD of lords, to ask for whatever you want and not die. It is the open cheque given to draw favour from God. "And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name." (Exo 33:17)... and many people do not (really) understand grace.
Do you ever wonder why people hate Jesus? If they hate Whom you are talking so much about, they sure will definitely hate you, except you bought into their lies already. No other religion will love you if they hate Jesus, and this world system CANNOT. If the people of the world does not love you because they hate Jesus, that means they do not yet understand grace.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Eph 2:8-9)
You can't understand grace and not love Jesus Christ. If you truly understand grace, Christ will be at the core center of your heart. Christ Jesus will become your Religion, Saviour, Father, Faith, LORD, KING, and everything! People prefer the "do it yourself " kind of religious belief. They choose to observe the law instead of to LOVE, forgetting that love itself is a law. The pharisees and sadducees (the Boasters) said Christ Jesus broke the sabbath, and blasphemed God, and so crucified Him. They crucified and innocent Man for Love. "And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?" (Luke 14:5) ... and yet they crucified Him.
The laws of God cannot be broken, but the higher laws overrides the lower. Whenever you observe the higher, it conceals out the lower. "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Mat 22:36-40)
When it comes to the spiritual laws of God, there are two broad categories:
- The first and second great Laws; and
- The other laws and prophets.
Our levels of operation in the divine is primarily dependent on which of these two categories you choose to operate in. The great ones operate by the first category, while the lesser by the second. [Please note that both are spiritual laws. And there is no way Christ could have broken the sabbath by observing the first and great law. Love reveals your heart, which the lesser laws are blind to. Love is a spiritual law.] When the first and second great laws are in operation, the other laws of Moses must cease their operation, simply because the greater is present.
"For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." (John 1:17) ... Mosaic vs. Love, and love is greater.
Without this understanding, know for sure that you sure will deny Christ Jesus during tough trials. Do you know why? It's because you're lacking in the grace of our LORD Jesus Christ. The grace Jesus carries is what must birth the divine love of God in our hearts, otherwise, no one will be able to stand the flood of the enemy. You need grace, and Christ Jesus is full of grace and truth (John 1:14).
