What Is Grace Really?

What does grace have to do with end time prophecy? Everything! But to understand how grace coincides with end time prophecy, we must first have a clear understanding of what grace is. I posit grace has been changed by “the church” (Evangelical, Catholic, and Orhtodox) to mean what it is not, and is causing many to think they are something they are not (Gal. 6:3), which influences them to believe another gospel, which is not another, but a lie, and is deceiving many.

The scriptures teach that when “the church” comes to the full (a mindset) to believe another gospel then the end times begin. This is why Jesus and His apostles exhorted believers, saying, “Take heed that no man deceive you” (Matt. 24:4) and “Let no man deceive you by any means” (2 Thess. 2:3). 

Jesus alluded to the church coming to the full at the beginning of His ministry, saying, “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men” (Matt. 5:13). Therefore the condition of the world is predicated upon the church, being the catalyst. Therefore how the church goes, so goes the world.

“The church” defines grace as: ”His unmerited favor upon mankind; that He did what He didn’t have to do,” but that’s not grace, for He had to do what He did because of Original Sin. It was because of Mankind that God sent His Son to do two basic things: 1) to destroy the works of the devil (Matt. 12:29; 1 Jn. 3:8), and 2) to reconcile us to Him, for all who believe in Jesus Christ (Jn. 3:16), Who is the Personification of the Law, and the express image of the Father.   

Scripture says God is love (1 Jn. 4:8), but what is love? The Apostle John writes, ”And this is love, that we walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, that, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it” (2 Jn. 1:6). John also says, ”And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keeps not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keeps His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him. He that saith he abides in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked” (1 Jn. 2:3-6).

But what did they hear from the beginning? What they heard, which had been forsaken, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men, was to repent and keep the Ten Commandment, His Law, which is the law of righteousness. So what is grace really?

Biblical grace is: His Divine influence upon the heart of the sinner, the reflection in the heart of the believer, that upon hearing His testimony (life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension) should move us with godly sorrow to works of repentance to salvaton not to be repented of (2 Cor. 7:9-10). It’s by godly sorrow (for transgressing His Lw) one receives the Holy Spirit that empowers them to do His Gospel, which is: repent and keep His Law, the Ten Commandments, which is the law of righteousness, which we do by grace through faith in Him (Eph. 2:8-10), not of works lest any man should boast. 

Many believers within “the church” think they are saved by saying the “Sinner’s Prayer,” or by the keeping of rites, rituals, and regulations, yet they continue to trangress His Law, even as they’re taught by “the church” it is not possible to keep His Law.  But Jesus said, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes” (Mk. 9:23) and, ”For with God (you and Him together) all things are possible” (10:27).  

Grace should have an emotional impact upon the heart when one hears the testimony of Jesus Christ, but it also caries with it an expectation because of what He did for us. (By grace are you saved).  

The reason the end times began when it did (Sept. 29, 2008, Elul 29) is because this is the day when “the church” had come to the full to believe and teach another gospel, which is predicated upon a cheap grace that is not grace at all, for the grace (via their doctrine) removes His expectation He has upon them to keep His Law.

I encourage you to reexamine how you believe. Are you living by His grace or by cheap grace, which is nothing more than a convenient truth that causes you trangsress all the commandments?

God is: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and these Three agree, and are one.
