Faith And Grace by ochibuogwu5: 11:09am On Jan 11, 2019
through faith in JESUS CHRIST ALONE is any human being PLEASING TO GOD thus "But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him" {Hebrews 11:6 amp}
through GRACE ALONE can we have ACCESS TO FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST "For it is *by grace* [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] *through faith*. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God" {Ephesians 2:8 amp}

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit that supplies and manifests GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST in human beings thus "where the Holy Spirit is found there is FREEDOM{from sin/strongholds/bad-habits/darkness/depressions/anxieties e.t.c}" (2 Cor. 3:17)
GRACE lifts any human being from where you are currently to meet up with GOD'S HOLY STANDARD "the standard of God remains firm/same/irreducible forever..." {2 Timothy 2:19}
therefore Grace does not reduce God's righteous standard.

Grace from GOD{JESUS CHRIST} gives a man/woman capacity to say no to sin and reject every form of worldly passions, in this world filled with compromise, adultery, infidelity, laziness, pornography, get-rich-quick-schemes, sexual-deviances, lies, cheating, deceptions, fraud, yahoo-yahoo, betnaija, drunkenness, orgies, political-manipulations/intimidation e.t.c
thus
"Grace of God has appeared *to all men* bringing salvation, grace also teaches us to reject worldliness(lust/pride/greed/sins) and live a life of righteousness, uprightness, love and self-control in this world(not when we die)" (Titus 2:11-12)

"And the testimony is this: God has given us eternal life [we already possess it], and this life is in His Son [resulting in our spiritual completeness, and eternal companionship with Him]. 12 He who has the Son [by accepting Him as Lord and Savior] has the life [that is eternal]; he who does not have the Son of God [by personal faith] does not have the life" {1 John 5:11-12 amp}

"These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God [which represents all that Jesus Christ is and does], so that you will know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have eternal life"
{1 John 5:13 amp}
