Leviticus 27:11-12 NASB "If, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which one does not present as an offering to the Lord, then he shall place the animal before the priest. And the priest shall assess it as either good or bad; as you, the priest, assess it, so shall it be." When the believer is before God and is assessed for sin, he is not alone. He is there with Jesus, the Lamb of God. God then doesn't even look at us to judge us. God looks at the sacrifice, and the sacrifice is perfect. We are accepted in Christ, and our sins have been taken away. Hallelujah!!

The old covenant was between God and the children of Israel. 👇👇👇 Exodus 19:5-6 NASB "Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; [6] and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the sons of Israel.'” Sadly, Israel was unfaithful to God and didn't keep the covenant, so God divorced them. Jeremiah 3:8 NASB "And I saw that for all the adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and prostituted herself also." There is now a new covenant, a covenant written in the blood of Jesus (1 Corinthians 11:25), but the new covenant isn't even between God and man. The new covenant is between the Father and the Son for the benefit of man. We believers are joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17) and heirs according to the promise because we are in Christ (Galatians 3:29).

Romans 5:6,8 NASB "For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

If you can lose it, it was never eternal life.. was it? No, then it was only life until you screwed up again.

We are not the sum of our physical parts or our actions. We are spirits housed in bodies of flesh and blood with souls. We believers are regenerated spirits, born again into eternal life. Our new birth isn't dependent upon what we do. It is dependent upon our faith 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗱 for us.

No one is saying sin is ok. No one is saying obedience is bad. Grace people are declaring the truth that adding anything to Jesus and his finished work at the cross in order to be saved or stay saved is wrong. Jesus + Anything = A False Gospel Jesus is enough! His blood is enough! Anyway... nothing else can save you. Your obedience, works, participation in religious ordinances, pious attempts to keep God happy with acts of confession and repeated requests for forgiveness -- 𝗻𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁 can help you be born again or keep you in right standing with God.

There are two kinds of life and death. 1. Physical 2. Spiritual All spirits live forever, but that isn't eternal life. Physical life is our spirits in our bodies. Physical death is our spirits separated from our bodies. Spiritual life is our spirits connected to God. Spiritual death is our spirits separated from God.

Matthew 23:26 NASB "You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may also become clean." Jesus is concerned with your heart; not your religion.

2 Corinthians 3:4-6 NASB "Such is the confidence we have toward God through Christ. [5] Not that we are adequate in ourselves so as to consider anything as having come from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, [6] who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." Someone attacking our message of God's grace toward those who have placed their faith in Jesus alone for their salvation called me a false teacher and then told me that I should fear the judgment of God. I am not afraid. I come to the "throne of grace" boldly. "Such is the confidence we have toward God through Christ." Why? The Lord has ordained me as a servant of the new covenant, and I'm blessed by the Holy Spirit to bring life to those that are being slowly poisoned by a toxic mixture of the old and the new.

Luke 7:12-15 NASB "Now as He approached the gate of the city, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her. [13] When the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her and said to her, “Do not go on weeping.” [14] And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise!” [15] And the dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother." When the dead has been raised back to life, how can they not speak of our wonderful God who saves? We who were once dead in our sin and wrong doings but now are born again, magnify the Lord. Speak to others about what he has done and is now doing in you. Get up and move and show signs of spiritual life.

Jesus said he was sent by the Father only to the house of Israel (Matthew 15:24). The house of Israel was all bound up in law. They rejected the Savior (Romans 11:11-15), so he appeared to a Pharisee of the Pharisees (Philippians 3:5), Saul of Tarsus, and anointed him as an apostle to the gentiles (Galatians 2:7-9). The Spirit of the risen and ascended Christ revealed to Paul the mystery of the gospel of grace (Ephesians 3:8-10). The other apostles, the remaining eleven, didn't understand the gospel (Mark 9:31-32) because they didn't have that revelation. They were still trying to judaize the way of Jesus, and it would take them more time to see it (John 16:12). To see the truth of God's grace, offered to those who place their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, takes a revelation (2 Corinthians 3:14-17).

I'm sounding the alarm. I call out from the wall, "Be on watch for those trying to pursuade you out from the fortress of grace to the wilderness of works and strivings where you are vulnerable to lions and wolves lying in wait for their prey."

2 Corinthians 4:15 NASB "For all things are for your sakes, so that grace, having spread to more and more people, will cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God." That is the point of the gospel; spreading grace to more and more people. The gospel is the message of God's grace to us through faith in Jesus and His FINISHED work at the cross. That message causes the redeemed to glorify God with thanksgiving and praise. Not only are their spirits born again through the washing of regeneration by the Holy Spirit, but their lives are transformed into testimonies that glorify our Father in Heaven. The gospel is NOT spreading commandment keeping to more people. The gospel is NOT spreading behavior modification to more people. The gospel is NOT a campaign to build up church membership or increasing a ministry's wealth. The Gospel is NOT what many legalistic people say that it is. The gospel is the good news of God's grace.

The Natsarim are a self-proclaimed non-Christian group who believe in Jesus but not according to the Christian view. They insist on using Hebrew terms and law-keeping, and they see themselves as the only “watchmen” of righteousness. The Natsarim can sound very much like Christians, although they openly say there are not and they don't want to be labeled as such. They say they follow Yashusha when talking about their beliefs, but their hearts are focused on the Torah and the practices of the Jewish faith. We believers should take them at their word, when they say the Natsarim are NOT Christians. They fail to recognize that “Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes” (Romans 10:4).

We can't be more saved or become more justified or sanctified than we are in Christ.

Do you feel like it can't be as easy as those Grace People say? Are you still insisting on something to "𝗱𝗼" to participate in your salvation? Here ya go. 👇👇👇 John 6:28-29 NASB "Therefore they said to Him, “What are we to 𝗱𝗼, so that we may accomplish the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 is the work of God, that you 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 in Him whom He has sent.'”

Ananias & Sapphira were not believers. Acts 5:3 NASB But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the proceeds of the land? They weren't believers, because believers have NO condemnation. 👇👇👇 Romans 8:1 NASB Therefore there is now no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 NASB Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, @19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their wrongdoings against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. They were among the believers, but they weren't belivers. There were definitely Pharisee infiltrators to the ancient church. 👇👇👇 Acts 15:1-5 NASB Some men came down from Judea and began teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” @2 And after Paul and Barnabas had a heated argument and debate with them, the brothers determined that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders concerning this issue. @3 Therefore, after being sent on their way by the church, they were passing through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and they were bringing great joy to all the brothers and sisters. @4 When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were received by the church, the apostles, and the elders, and they reported all that God had done with them. @5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who had believed stood up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to direct them to keep the Law of Moses.” They were imposters, like Judas.

If you try to gain or keep right standing with God through your own obedience, you have to do it perfectly. No mistakes. 👇👇👇👇 Matthew 5:48 NASB “Therefore you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” You can’t be perfect. I can’t be perfect. We can’t be like God. Sadly though, many people still today are seeking to be right with God through their obedience to the commandments. Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 NASB, “But seek first His kingdom and 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, and all these things will be provided to you.” Are you seeking to establish your own righteousness through your adherence to the 10 commandments? Do you still strive to keep the law according to your understanding of the law? Since you can't be perfect, you will fail, and you won't be right with God. We believers have the righteousness of God. There is no better righteousness than that. 👇👇👇👇👇👇 Romans 3:21-22 NASB ”But now 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘄 the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, [22] but it is the righteousness of God 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 for all those who believe; for there is no distinction." It isn't our righteousness. It is his. We receive the righteousness of God because of our faith in what Jesus has already done. All we need to do is 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 in Jesus as our only source and hope of salvation. Now, that doesn't mean we want to go out and behave badly. Our liberty in Christ doesn't encourage us to live a loose lifestyle. Instead, we under grace are empowered and motivated by the Holy Spirit to live lives that honor God and bear witness of the effectiveness of the gospel to those who are lost and those misled into false gospels of works.

Gospel Truth! 👇👇👇 Ephesians 2:4-9 NASB But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, [5] even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), [6] and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, [7] so that in the ages to come He might show the boundless riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. [8] For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast. If you think anything in that passage needs a caveat or some conditional statement starting with the word "if," you have fallen for a false gospel. #grace #faith #jesuschrist #crucified #gospel

Judas followed Jesus. He was a disciple, yes, but he was not a believer. He pretended to be a believer, but he was an imposter. Some people use Judas, the betrayer of Christ, as an example of a believer who fell away from the faith and lost his salvation. I tell you the truth ... Judas was 𝗡𝗢𝗧 a believer. Look 👀 👇👇👇 John 6:64 NASB "But there are some of you who do not believe.” 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐝̳𝐢̳𝐝̳ ̳𝐧̳𝐨̳𝐭̳ ̳𝐛̳𝐞̳𝐥̳𝐢̳𝐞̳𝐯̳𝐞̳, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐦." Believers, we who have placed our trust in Jesus as our only source and our only hope of salvation, unlike Judas, are born again, and our "new birth" certificate is sealed by the Holy Spirit. We cannot, we will not lose our salvation. #jesuschrist #believe #faith #judas #disciple

Here's the truth. Jesus' 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗗 work is sufficient to forgive us of 𝗔𝗟𝗟 our sins, even conquering the sin of Adam that cursed everyone of us. All sin; 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁, 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 and 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 sin. This is those under grace. 👇👇👇 Romans 4:7-8 NKJV "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin." “whose lawless deeds are forgiven,” 👇👇👇 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝘀. "whose sins are covered;" 👇👇👇 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝘀. “shall not impute sin." 👇👇👇 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝘀. We are human. Humans sin. We all fall short. Praise God that when we believers sin, our human condition doesn’t affect our spiritual condition or void our right standing with God. We could do nothing to save ourselves, and it is certain we can do nothing to keep ourselves saved. Our salvation, and our continued right standing with God, are entirely by the grace of God through our faith in his son, Jesus. It isn't our obedience. It is his. It isn't our righteousness. It is his. It isn't our goodness. It is his. It isn't our performance. It is his. It isn't our sinlessness. It is his Holy perfection. If you think you keep yourself cleansed by works of confession and sincere, passionate pleas for forgiveness, then you have replaced Jesus as the correct object of faith with yourself. You are then engaged in self-righteousness. Rest instead in the finished work of Christ. Let the Holy Spirit take care of everything else in you.
