Paul preached the same gospel as Jesus did. The gospel of the kingdom which is ACCORDING to grace (power) from God. Until Jesus was glorified that power (grace) wasn't available to us yet. But rest assured it is the same gospel. (Do a study on how many times it says that Paul preached the kingdom of God)

There is no such gospel as a "grace" gospel...otherwise that is "another gospel" as Paul warned us about.

Grace is the power to fulfill the law of God. It is NOT God going easy on sin. It is the power from God to overcome sin as Jesus did. So we need to enter into Christ and abide in Him so as to partake of His holiness and the perfection of His humanity that was fashioned for us to walk in by faith. By grace through faith.

This is the testimony of the bible. I realize how far out this sounds., But that is the revolutionary gospel message...being freed from the bondage to sin and this world...and liberated into the very presence of God....so bringing reconciliation between us and the Father.



Grace either brings us into God's presence to live holy as He is holy or it isn't grace from God...it is just a theory of grace from men that has no power over sin. But one needs real faith and to seek the Lord for the real grace. We need to go before the throne of Grace. The other man-inspired grace is just...believe you have it...and you do. So it is just a philosophical posturing of men.

Amen, and yes for those who will receive the above, but as a Christian we are saved by God's Grace through faith, not of works that any man or woman should boast, because his grace is a Gift.
