FORGIVEN TO LIVE UNDER PURE GRACE

♦GOD'S DESIRE FOR MANKIND IS FOR THEM TO LIVE CONTINUALLY UNDER HIS UNCONTAMINATED PURE GRACE.
                   ♥Genesis 3:21 KJV
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
-Right after ADAM OR MANKIND Rebelled and Sin against GOD by eating the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil,GOD immediately responded graciously and lovingly towards them.

-HE Responded by invoking the POWER OF THE BLOOD to cover their sins.We see in this scripture,the first time an animal was sacrificed to cover man's sins,as was also Demonstrated in the Time of Moses.

                      ♥Hebrews 9:19, 22 KJV
For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

                      ♥Hebrews 10:3-4 KJV
But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

-It is important we note that All the animal sacrifices in the old testament are actually shadows and typologies of JESUS CHRIST who is the REAL SUBSTANCE and the Lamb that Came to take away the Sins of World.JOHN1:29;REV.5:5-6;
-JESUS Obtained Eternal Redemption and Forgiveness of Sin for All who Accept Him as the Passover Sacrificial Lamb.

                         ♥1stCor.5:7msg"So get rid of this "yeast." Our true identity is flat and plain, not puffed up with the wrong kind of ingredient. The Messiah, our Passover Lamb, has already been sacrificed for the Passover meal, and we are the Unraised Bread part of the Feast."

                               ♥Hebrews 9:12 KJV
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

-It is because of the sacrificial blood of JESUS that we are now Forgiven and living under the covenant of Pure undiluted Grace.Everything from Genesis to Revelation points to the offering of JESUS as a Sacrificial lamb on the CROSS OF CALVARY.

                            ♥Hebrews 13:15 KJV
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

-Living under PURE GRACE is a life worthy of giving GOD praise and thanksgiving at all times.

NOTE:TO LIVE UNDER PURE GRACE,WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THE OLD COVENANT WILL ALWAYS CAUSE US TO LOOK AT YOURSELF,WHILE THE NEW COVENANT OF GRACE WILL ALWAYS CAUSE US TO LOOK AT WHAT CHRIST DID FOR US ON THE CROSS.

♦LIVINGUNDER PURE GRACE IS ALL ABOUT

1.Recalling your Righteousness Consciousness and not your Sin Consciousness.

                             ♥Hebrews 8:12 KJV
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

-Pure grace lays emphasis on what is RIGHT with you in CHRIST,based on what HE has done for you.
-It does not focus on what is wrong with you.2ndCOR.5:21amp.

2.Recalling the LIFE GIVING POWER OF GRACE

                             ♥2 Corinthians 3:6-7 KJV
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

-The Ministration of Death Engravened in Stones is Actually talking about the Law of Moses or the Ten Commandments.The Law of Moses in the Old Covenant made the Children of Israel Susceptible to the Forces of Death,while the Covenant of Pure Grace of Christ Brought Life.T

♦Thefirst miracle of Moses,which represents the law was to turn water into blood,and it resulted in DEATH.EXOD.7:14-18

            -The Miracle of Jesus which represents GRACE,was the turning of water into wine,resulting in celebration and life.JOHN2:1-11

3.Recalling We Have Come Mount Zion and not to Mount Sinai.

                           ♥Hebrews 12:22-24 KJV
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
[23] To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
[24] And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

-Mount Sinai actually represents THE LAW.(AT the First Pentecost,50days after passover,after the law was given,3,000 people died).EXOD.32:16-28
-To Really Appreciate Pure Grace,Before Mount Sinai,no Israelite died.but after Sinai.......if they murmur they die."

-Mount Zion represents PURE GRACE(ON the day of Pentecost,50days after the resurrection of JESUS,the HOLY GHOST was given and 3,000 people were saved and the New Covenant Church of CHRIST was born.).ACTS2:1-41

-Are you getting the picture of pure grace as represented by Mount Zion?
                *The law condemns but grace saves and gives life.

                              ♥John 1:16-17 KJV
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. [17] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

♦SOMETHING TRAGICALLY HAPPENED AT THE FOOT OF SINAI THAT CAUSED AN EXCHANGED OF COVENANT TO TAKE PLACE RESULTING IN THE LAW BEEN GIVEN TO MOSES.

                  -The people boasted in pride and self confidence that ALL that GOD commanded and required of them TO DO AND OBEY,they were well ABLE TO DO.
                                 ♥Exodus 19:8 KJV
And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord .

             -IN the original hebrew text,there response was actually a statement of PRIDE and over confidence in the flesh or in their self effort to keep the Law.
                                          ♥Philippians 3:3 KJV
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

-They had confidence in themselves to be able to keep the demands of the law by their own power.
-They were actually saying "GOD,Stop assessing or blessing us based on your Goodness and Faithfulness.Start assessing,judging and blessing us based on our obedience."

-THE JOURNEY FROM EGYPT TO SINAI WAS A PICTURE OF PURE GRACE AND THEY WERE NOT DEPENDENT ON THEIR PERFORMANCE,GOODNESS AND ABILITY TO KEEP THE WORD OF THE LORD.R

♦RIGHT FROM THE GARDEN UNTO ABRAHAM,they were under PURE GRACE UNTIL THEY EXCHANGED IT FOR THE COVENANT OF THE LAW at mount SINAI.

-BECAUSE OF THEIR PRIDEFUL ATTITUDE,GOD CHANGED HIS TONE , MANNER OF CONVERSATION AND THE WAY HE RELATED WITH THEM.

                           ♥Exodus 19:12-13 KJV
And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long,they shall come up to the mount.

-UNDER THE LAW,any failure and sin would result in judgement and punishment.EXOD.34:7
-They willingly placed themselves under the LAW which no one is able to fulfill except THE MAN CHRIST.

-When JESUS Came and Shed His Blood on the Cross of Calvary,We Can now Enjoy PURE GRACE BY DEPENDING ON CHRIST OBEDIENCE THAT FULFILLED THE LAW, HIS GOODNESS AND FAITHFULNESS.

                          ♥Romans 10:4 KJV
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
-Because We are Forgiven and Living Under Pure Grace,Sin can no more have Dominion over Us.

                            ♥Romans 6:14-15 KJV

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. [15] What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

♦WE SHOULD BE EXCITED TO EMBRACE PURE GRACE,BECAUSE THE LAW CONDEMNS THE BEST OF US WHILE PURE GRACE FORGIVES AND SAVES THE WORST OF US.
-BECAUSE OF JESUS,WE ARE FORGIVEN OF OUR SINS TO NOW LIVE UNDER THE PURE GRACE OF GOD.

♦THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD EMBRACE AND TESTIFY TO THE WORLD LIKE APOSTLE PAUL DID.
                                  ♥Acts 20:24 KJV
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Be Thankful for His Pure Grace and Forgiveness of all your Sins.Praise God Forever.
