Hi Andre/Mary-Anne,
Wonderful message . Gods original intent is that we would encounter him and one another in the pure clean enviroment of divine innocence and blamelessness. You both remind me of the Proverbs 22v11 “Those who love purity of heart and have lips of grace are friends of the King . You are indeed friends of the King for in this message your lips drip with the grace of heaven . The prophets spoke of the grace that would come upon us .We haveseen the glory of the Son FULL of and grace and truth appeared John said from His FULLNESS we have all recieved grace upon grace . This grace as Francous so wonderfully puts it is the revelation of our inclusion in Christ .Paul sais in Eph 3v2 this grace was revealed to him for us , grace to reveal the unfathomable treasures of Christ . This gospel of grace is bearing fruit all over the world the spirit is enabling us to understand the gospel of grace in all its truth . The fruit of the gospel of grace is that it produces faith towrd Christ , a love for Christ and all the saints and this being genuine love in the spirit . This grace was the secret was source of energy and dynamic motivation of Pauls life .I did far more than any of you yet not I but his grace at work with-in me . This grace enabled him to endure all things because it is always sufficient and equips for the task . Acts 20v20 I consider my life worth nothing that i might complete the task ,the task of testifying to the gospel of grace . There must have something so wonderfulabout the gospel of grace that captured his heart to say he did not value his own life . Note the place of this gospel of grace amoung the brothers and church planters .See Acts 20v32 Paul commends the brothers to the word of his grace that is able to biuld them up,wonderful tool for edifying the saints , and give them an inheritence amoung all those that are already sanctified . Acts 15v40 The brothers recommend Paul and Silas to the grace of God . The grace of God was something very precious in the hearts and lives of the early saints . Its easy to see why when ever the gospel of grace was preached it always led to divine encounter see Acts 4v33 and Acts 11v23 and Acts 14v3 clearly reveals the divine impact of the grace message. In the tradition of the early of the early saints i commend you to the grace of God my friends and urge you to continue in his grace for it is a good thing for our hearts to be established in grace . Finally God gives this grace to the humble only the proud and self rightoeus wont recieve it . May the graceof Godbe with your spirit ….Roddy
Roddy,
Your words so blessed me. Grace does inspire so much more than obligation. Gratitude awakens so much more than duty. It’s the kindness of God that leads us to a total change of mind. The emphasis of grace is the most effective way of communicating this gospel.
I sense its time for us to get together again …. fancy a visit in West Sussex?
