ONLY BY GRACE ARE WE ACCEPTED BY GOD

Posted by George Soepboer Sr.

Only by the grace of God are we accepted by God through Jesus Christ the Son of God.

All people have sinned against God for no one is without sins in the eyes of God.
( Romans 3:23 ).

No one is perfect by the standards of God, therefore we all are sinners in the eyes of God.
( Psalms 51:5 ).

Any person who claims to be without sin lies for we are told by God that all people have sinned against God.
( 1 John 1:8-10 ).

Therefore all people deserve to be punished for their sins in hell by God, for all people have broken the law of God.
( Romans 2:9-18 ).

However, there is hope for us by God to be spared the punishment for our sins in hell by God, for Jesus Christ the Son of God paid for all of our sins by God.
( John 1:29 )( Romans 6:10 )( Hebrews 7:27 )
( 1 Peter 3:18 )( 1 John 2:2 ).

Our hope must not be in our good works to make us acceptable by God, and our hope must not be in our religion to make us acceptable by God, for none of them things will ever make us acceptable by God. Only when we beg for the grace of God to be forgiven of our sins by God in the name of Jesus Christ the Son of God that will save us from the punishment of our sins in hell by God.
( Ephesians 2:4-9 ).

If we wish to have our sins forgiven by God to be saved from the punishment in hell for them sins by God then we must accept the salvation of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God, for only through Jesus Christ the Son of God will we ever have our sins forgiven by God, If we seek it in any other way then we will never be accepted by God but then we will be condemned by God and be punished for our sins in hell by God.
( John 3:16-18 ).

Our hope must also not be in other people who claim to have that power from God to open the door for us to God. There is no one on this world through whom we can be accepted by God, there is also nothing that we can do to make us acceptable to God. All of the religious people on this world cannot make person acceptable by God for all people have sinned against God, therefore all people are equal sinners by the standards of God. If we sin little or much we are all condemned by God, for little sin or much sin all hinders us from coming to God, we can only be justified by the grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God, for the Son of God paid for our sins by God.
( Romans 3:23-26 ).

Therefore only by the grace and love of God through Jesus the Son of God are we saved from the punishment of our sins by God, but we must be willing to humble ourselves before God and beg for mercy by God to receive that salvation from God. If we seek our salvation in any other way by God then we will be condemned by God for there is no other way to be accepted by God.
( John 3:16-18 ).

We can never boast that we have made our own way to God, we also can never boast that some-one else has opened the door for us by God, for no one is accepted that way by God. Only when we personally beg for mercy by God in the name of Jesus Christ the Son of God are we accepted by God.
( Ephesians 2:8-9 ).

Abraham was not accepted by God for the good works he did for God, Abraham was accepted by the grace of God because he placed his trust in God, and he loved God.
( Romans 4:1-8 ).

When we are saved by the grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God then we must show our gratitude to God by loving God for the gift of salvation from God.
( Mark 12:28-30 ).

Only when we truly love God are we showing our gratitude to God, for our works for God do not always show our love for God. We can be active on this world for God and be willing to die on this world for God without loving God and without living in fellowship with God. Love for God and our relationship with God must over power all of the works we do on this world for God, for if we do not have a loving relationship on this world with God then we are as nothingness to God.
( 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 ).

But only words of love for God do not prove that we love God. Only by our deeds can we show that we truly love God.
( Genesis 22:1-18 )( James 2:14-26 ).

Many of the Jewish people that were removed from Egypt by God did not make it to the land that was promised by God, for they did not love and trust God.
( Numbers chapter 13. Through chapter 14:1-38 ).

The Jewish people were told by God to keep the laws of God but they were also told by God to love God and to place their trust in God. Without love for God and trust in God we can never please God, for if we seek to obey the laws of God without loving God then we do not have fellowship with God. Only when we truly love God and seek fellowship with God are our works accepted by God.
( Deuteronomy 6:4-5 ).

If our love is real for God then we do not allow anyone or anything to stand between us and God. Including our own will and our own life we must be willing to surrender to God to show our love for God.
( Matthew 10:37-38 ).

Christians must obey God for if we do not obey God then we are rejected by God. But only if we truly love and trust God can we live for God, for only by the grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God are our sins removed by God, not by the laws we keep to obey God.
( Hebrews 10:5-10 ).

Only through Jesus Christ the Son of God are we accepted by God, without Jesus the Son of God no one is acceptable by God. If we seek to be accepted by God without the salvation of God through Jesus the Son of God then our sins will hinder us to be accepted by God for then our sins remain by God. Only through Jesus Christ the Son of God are those sins removed by God, and only if our sins are removed by God is the way opened for us to God.
( John 1:12 )( John 3:16-18 )( John 14:6 )
( 1 John 2:22-23 )( 1 John 5:11-12 ).

If our hope for salvation by God is in the laws we keep for God or the good works we do for God then we are cursed by God, for only perfection is accepted by God and we will never be perfect by the standards of God, therefore no one can ever make themselves acceptable by God by keeping the laws of God or the good works we do for God.
( Galatians 3:10-14 )( Galatians 2:16 ).

However, when we are accepted by the grace of God through Jesus the Son of God and we have received a new life within from God by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God then we must seek to live in that new life for God, for then we must live by the Spirit within us of God.
( Romans 8:12-14 ).

Jesus the Son of God made us free from the bondage of sin and of the laws of God by paying with His life on the cross for our sins by God. Through the Son of God the door for us is open by God to walk into the presence of God and to be accepted by God.
( John 8:36 )( Galatians 5:1-7 ).

Therefore, we must accept the salvation of God through Jesus the Son of God to receive eternal life with God, for if we seek our salvation from God without accepting the Son of God as our only way to God then we also will be ignored by God, for we cannot receive our salvation from God without Jesus the Son of God.
( 1 John 5:11-12 ).

But when we have received that salvation from God then we must live for God for then our life belongs to God.
( Romans 14:7-8 ).

Our acceptance in heaven by God also cannot be obtained through our works on this world for God, for it also only is ours by the grace of God through Jesus the Son of God.
( Revelation 7:9-17 ).

However, if we carelessly live on this world for God then we will not be accepted into heaven by God but then we will be punished in hell by God for ignoring to obey God. We must live by the Spirit of God after we are set free from power of satan by God by the salvation of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God.
( Romans 8:1-14 ).

But we must not keep the laws of God to work our way to God and to obtain salvation from our sins by God, for that is ours by the grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God.
Nevertheless, we must keep the laws of God to show our love for God after we are reborn within of God, for that freedom we received from God by the grace of God after we are renewed within by God without keeping the laws of God.
( Romans 3:27-31 ).

The apostle Paul was used by God to tell people that there is no salvation by God by keeping the laws of God for we cannot keep the laws perfectly to obtain salvation from God, but the apostle Paul did not remove himself from the laws of God but he upheld the laws of God, not to obtain salvation from God but to show his love for God.
( Acts 21:17-26 ).

Jesus the Son of God did not come on this world to do away with the laws of God, but He came to make us free from the bondage of the laws of God for He paid for our sins by God.
( Matthew 5:17-20 ).

However, we cannot be saved from the punishment of our sins by God by keeping the laws of God for then we still live under the bondage of the law of God because we cannot keep the laws of God, and then we are not part of the grace of God through Jesus the Son of God who made us free from the bondage of the law from God.
( Galatians 5:1-8 ).

We keep the laws of God to prove our love for God not to obtain salvation by God, for the greatest gift that we can receive from God is love from God, and the greatest gift that we can give to God is our love for God.
( 1 Corinthians 13: 13 ).

We are made free by the grace of God from the bondage of the laws of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God, but we may not misuse that freedom from the law of God, but we must use that freedom within to uphold the laws of God.
( 1 Peter 2:16 ).

We must use that freedom from the laws of God to build a strong relationship with God not to break the laws of God, for we must only do the things that build our relationship with God.
( 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 ).

If we seek our relationship with God by keeping the laws of God the laws of God keep us from enjoying God for the of the laws of God do not make us perfect by God, and only perfection is accepted by God. Therefore through the laws we cannot live in fellowship with God for we cannot keep the laws of God. But when we live in the grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God then we can live in friendship and fullness on this world with God, for then we are set free from the demand of the laws of God, for Jesus the Son of God paid for our sins by God.
( Hebrews 7:19 ).

Anyone who through the laws seeks salvation from God is void to God, for through the laws no one is justified by God, for we all break the laws of God.
( Galatians 3:10-13 ).

Also if we wish with all of heart and mind to keep the laws of God we break the laws of God, for it is not within our power to keep the laws of God. but Jesus Christ the Son of God overpowered the laws for us by God when He paid for all of shortcomings and sins by God.
( Romans 7:14-25 ).

Through Jesus Christ we are made free from the punishment of the laws of God, for He removed the punishment of the laws of God to make us free from that punishment by God.
( Romans 10:4 ).

We must never surrender ourselves to people who place us under laws of God to find our salvation by God, for those people are not of God.
( 1 Timothy 4:1-5 ).

Through the laws we never obtain salvation by God but all of that lead people away from God, for then we glorify in ourselves but then we do not glorify God and the Son of God who made us free from the burden of the laws of God, for through Jesus the Son of God are our sins forgiven by God not by keeping the laws of God.
( 1 John 1:7 ).

If we begin to glorify in the good works we do for God then we do not live for God. And if we glorify in the laws and rules we keep pleasing God then we remove ourselves from God for then we do not live in the grace of God through Jesus the Son of God, for then the rules and laws will overshadow the love we have received from God through Jesus the Son of God. Only when we truly love our neighbor and we truly love God do we keep the whole law of God, for love for our neighbor and love for God overpowers all of the laws of God.
( Galatians 5:14 ).

However, we must also live within the laws of God for we must uphold the laws and rules of God, but we may not seek our salvation in the works and laws by God. We must always seek our salvation in the mercy and grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God, for that is the only way we can receive salvation from God.
( Exodus 33:19 )( Romans 3:21-31 ).

We are called by God to live for God not because we obeyed the laws of God, but we are called by the grace of God to live for God. Without that call from God we can never come to God to receive the grace of God, for our mind must be opened by God before we see all of the sins that stand between us and God only then will we ask for grace by God.
( 2 Timothy 1:9 ).

A savior was promised by God from the beginning when people placed sin between them and God, that savior would remove their sins by God, and open the way for people to restore their fellowship with God.
( Genesis 3:15 ).

That savior from God is Jesus Christ the Son of God, for only by the salvation of God through Jesus the Son of God can our relationship be restored by God.
( John 3:16-18 ).

From the beginning of time no-one ever did receive salvation from the punishment for their sins in hell by God apart from the grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God, and no person will ever be saved in any other way by God. For salvation from God only comes to us by the grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God, for all people have sinned against God and sin will always place a barrier between us and God, for all sin will block our way to God, for no sin will ever be accepted by God.
( Romans 3:9-26 ).

Only by the love of God are we drawn to God through Jesus the Son of God, and only through our love for God can we live in fellowship with God, for we will never live in fellowship with God through our works for God.
(Hosea 6:6 )( Micah 6:6-8 )( Matthew 23:23).

Seeking to obey God without love for God is not acceptable by God, for our heart must be with God to be acceptable by God.
( Deuteronomy 6:4-5 )( Leviticus 19:1718 ).

Only by our love for God do we keep all of the commandments of God, for only love for God makes us free from the demand of all the laws of God, for then the demand of the laws of God are overpowered by the love of God.
( Matthew 22:35-40 ).

We are not in the love of God through the rules and laws of God, we are only in the love of God because we accept the love of God through Jesus the Son of God.
( John 3:16-18 ).

But again we must always seek to uphold the laws of God, for we cannot practice sin and also live in fellowship with God, for if we willingly sin then we live for satan not for God.
( 1 John 3:9-10 ).

When we have received our salvation from God and do not seek to live for God then we are condemned by God.
( 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 )( Ephesians 5:1-15 ).

When we have received grace from God through Jesus the Son of God then we must seek to live in fullness with God. We must not just obey God but we must open our whole heart to God for that is the only way we can please God.
( Mark 12:30 )( Luke 10:27 )

We can also not worship other gods and be part of the Lord God.
( Revelation 14:9-12 ).

We must also uphold the laws of God within the church of God, for we may not allow people that belong to the church of God to ignore the laws of God.
( 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 ).

Someday we all will have to give account to God how we have lived on this world for God in the new life we have received within from God, for when we received the new life within from God then we received the Spirit within of God. When we have received the Spirit within of God then we are set free from the darkness and bondage of satan by God to live in the light of God, and then we have the freedom and power within to obey God, for than the Spirit lives within us of God.
( Romans 14:1-12 ).

We cannot live in sin and claim to have fellowship with God, for we cannot live in the evil of satan and live in fellowship with God.
( 1 John 1:5-6 ).

However, if we sin after we have received the new life within of God then we must again plead for that grace of God, and if humbly plead for that grace of God then we will be forgiven of our sins by God through Jesus the Son of God, for Jesus the Son of God paid for all of our sins by God. Therefore we must never despair and lose hope when we sin against God after we received the Spirit within of God, but every time we sin we must repent of our sins by God and restore our relationship with God.
( 1 John 1:7-10 ).
