-
I marvel:
-
Galatians 1:6
- I marvel that ye are so soon removed
from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
-
Have you Forgotten ...Christ Died
for us!
-
Romans 5:6
- For when we were yet without strength,
in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
-
Romans 5:8
- But God commendeth his love toward us,
in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
-
Is it all just grace? You
know the grace abusers, as I call them. Do we all look at grace
and claim more grace, etc. more grace - so just do what you want or think
and see how it comes out at the end - Do you say to yourself, "Well,
at least I am saved"...?
-
Ephesians 2:7,8
- That in the ages to come he might shew
the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ
Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
-
Ephesians 3:7
- Whereof I was made a minister, according
to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working
of his power.
-
Romans 6:1,2
- What shall we say then? Shall we continue
in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are
dead to sin, live any longer therein?
-
Romans 6:15-16
- What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under
grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves
servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto
death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
or
-
Is it Paul's ways with God's grace?
-
Philippians
4:9 - Those things, which ye have both
learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace
shall be with you.
-
Or is it Paul's 'ways' along with
his 'manner of life' with God's grace?
-
II Timothy
3:10 - But thou hast fully known my doctrine,
manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, ...
-
Is 'following Paul's ways' just a dream
today because of such a perverted world, etc. - and not really practical
to try to be modest, sober-minded, etc.?
-
Or is it all a nightmare to you?
-
Is it all just a bunch of confusion
from Genesis to Revelation?
-
Are you tired of the battle?
-
Are you sure you are fighting the right
battle?
-
Are you tired of the persecutions you
receive ... and all you are trying to do is live to serve and please God
by following Paul's 'ways' and making those changes in your life - or at
least try... - as the Scriptures tell us to do?
And
we have confidence in the Lord touching you,
that
ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
II Thessalonians
3:4
For
they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you,
and
how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
I Thessalonians
1:9
Those
things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in
me, do:
and
the God of peace shall be with you.
Philippians
4:9
Maybe we have been sincere in
our trying to do Paul's ways
but NOT IN HIS 'MANNER' OF DOING
THOSE WAYS?

The entire
King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO us!
We learn
from the "For" and we learn to apply the 'TO!"
These writings
of Paul are directly from the Risen Saviour to Paul...
...and
then to us through the King James Bible by the Holy Ghost!
