Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
My grace is sufficient for you never to fall again. By My grace you can stand where others fall. I who began a good work in you will complete it unto the Day of Christ Jesus. How? By My grace. You have the help of My grace. You never have to fall in sin again. Do not receive My grace in vain.
For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14.
What is My grace? Simply put, it is My life in you, it is being a partaker of My divine nature in your humanity so that you can be full of My divinity in your humanity. This grace came to you in Jesus Christ.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’” For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. John 1:14-18.
He is the vine and you are the branches and the Holy Spirit flowing into you makes you holy and fills you with My love which is My life in you.
I am never pulled by sin. It has no place in Me or power over Me. I think in love, talk in love and walk in love and everything else is foreign to Me and cannot enter or remain with Me. It is the same with Jesus and as He is so can you be. You need to know Me and My Ways and walk in that Way so you will never fall but live a perfect life. In Christ I have made you perfect, that is, complete.
To those who have received a faith of the same precious kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. 2 Peter 1:1-4.
Being a partaker of My nature, and that is grace, pulls you out of corruption. The precious and magnificent promises are My Covenant promise Names. Each adjective describing a facet of My Nature is a promise that you who are in Covenant with Me can claim as your own. I am the LORD your healer, the LORD your shepherd, the LORD who sanctifies you, the LORD your righteousness, the LORD who sees ahead and provides, the LORD your helper, and much more.
In Jesus I have given you My grace and My glory.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You! Psalm 84:11-12.
This is for those who walk with Me, who walk in righteousness, whose minds are set above where I have seated you with Christ and not just on the flesh.
The path of life leads upward for the wise that he may keep away from hell below. Proverbs 15:24.
Being upright starts in your thoughts and words, in your heart and mouth. Knowing Me through Jesus is grace.
Grace has three main manifestations that make it apparent grace is acting in your life. Grace makes you like Me.
The LORD descended in the cloud and stood there with him as Moses called upon the name of the LORD. Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth.” Exodus 34:5-6.
Imitate Me as My dear children and walk in love as Jesus did and you will not fall to sin.
- Compassionate and gracious
- Slow to anger
- Abounding in lovingkindness and truth.
If you walk in these three you will never sin. Your life will be full of grace and grace is stronger than sin. With the help of My grace you can overcome every force of the enemy.
When you are compassionate you have sympathy for other’s weaknesses and work with them to help them bear the burden and overcome the obstacles. Jesus had compassion for the crowds for they were lost like sheep without a shepherd, so He taught them and healed them by feeding them with My Word. He became their shepherd. Feed My sheep.
When you are gracious you are kind and courteous and speak so that you edify others. You are never rude or haughty, not harsh, not rejecting others but speaking the truth in love so as to walk worthy of the high calling you have received in Christ.
When you are quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger you are walking like Me. Take no offense, answer wrath and criticism with patience, forgiving, forgetting what lies behind and pressing forward. I have given you a future and a hope and anger will hold you back from that.
Abounding in lovingkindness (this is the Hebrew word: chesed) and truth (emet). Lovingkindness here is My kind of love, it needs at least four definitions to even come close to what it is. It is mercy, love, grace, and kindness, Ephesians 2:1-10, all wrapped up in one Word of who I am: love, everlasting, never-ending, never-failing love.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 4-7.
Chesed is my kind of justice which operates in love accounting your sins to My Beloved Son and giving Him to you to pay your judgment and satisfy your sentence in full.
And by the gift of the Holy Spirit I pour My love (chesed) into your heart so you can love with My love. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, also guides you to all truth (emet). My Word is truth and it is Spirit breathed, the Holy Spirit gives inspiration and revelation to the hearer.
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 1:24-25.
I love you. I will guide you with My eye upon you and teach you the way you should go. I will keep you from stumbling by the help of My grace. And I have given My angels command to guard you in all your ways and to keep you from stumbling on a stone.
