God's Acceptance Part 12

[Ztheberean]

Acceptance Part 12Do you know that we need to learn about grace (so that we could have its understanding) IF we are going to be pleasing to God? (Gen 33:8, 10) If so, then God is dealing with you graciously because you are being URGED to take the journey (through the instruction of grace) (33:11-12), so that you can FIND grace PROVIDING God helps you to endure (this teaching) (Gen 33:15-14).Without God helping us to endure this, we are as Esau, who was into “HIS OWN WAY” which God calls, an “abomination” (Ez 165:47). Believers who are like Esau need to know that God hates them! (Rom 9:13) AND, God forbids us from believing that He is unrighteous for hating people (Rom 9:14-13).All of this is because GOD CHOOSES who He will have mercy and compassion upon (Rom 9:15), and THIS means that it’s NOT about “our will”, but GOD who shows mercy (9:16), and He does this by sending a preacher to us to bring the gospel AND the glad tidings of the “good things” (of God at work). This is all providing that we can believe their message so that God would give us obedience to the faith because we are hearing the (whole) word of God (Rom 10:15-17).God puts His children in the congregation of the LORD to seek, and keep the commandments of the Lord so that they can be established on the “good ground” (1Chron 28:8-7) to serve God with a perfect heart of understanding, because He gave us a willing mind (28:9) so that we could write all of these things down for others when we are MADE to understand this process (1Chron 28:19).Don’t become dismayed because God shall not forsake you PROVIDING He is doing THIS work in you until it is finished (1Chron 28:20). Has God made YOU willing to become skilful in this service, so that He can send you to the houses of faith? (28:21).This is why it is said that GOD CHOOSES us so that He can “make” us acceptable to Him (1Chron 28:4). It’s all about God accepting us (not us accepting Him) (2Sam 24:23). For only within the covenant of the LORD (which is the grace of God working) can “make” us ready to stand, so that we can hear (to learn) and then teach others this PROVIDING we are not for war! (1Chron 28:1-3).Believers who share the gospel of Christ, (His death and resurrection) and REMOVE the GRACE of God (that works after Jesus for our salvation) are perverted gospels that are cursed (Gal 1:6), because the truth REVEALS the grace of God (that works for our salvation) (Col 1:6). Consequently, we can’t be “made” free by the truth unless we know it! (by learning it) (Jn 8:32 and 36).Believers who don’t know the truth, are servants of sin because Jesus has not freed them to be disciples that continue in His word to learn (Jn 8:34, 36, and 31).
