Grace is foolish to those trying to be law-abiding-

A “stepping-stool to greater things” for those that don’t know “I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Christ and Him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2:2)

‘Grace’ isn’t God’s reaction to sin;

Truly, Grace was in place before the

foundation of the world, because

Grace is the absolute, complete and

total redemption, just as if you’d

never believed a lie about yourself

(what ‘sin’ truly means):

Grace is transformation-

Grace is a Person

Jesus isn’t “a doorway” (or door*mat*), the same as the cross isn’t “the concourse” to Heaven:

Heaven is within us. (Luke 17:21)

“The Lamb slain before the foundation of the world” isn’t some “passageway” we move on through and from;

He’s the very Cornerstone we never leave, because every “brick” of living revelation is built off of Him:

The Son of *man*, “marred more than any other”, the ever-abiding “mortar” on the mercy seat, holding all of humanity within the heart of God—

That is to say, Himself.

(“If you’ve seen *Me*, you’ve seen

The Father.” -John 14:9)

Grace isn’t some abstract

“attribute” of God:

*It’s. Who. He. Is*~

To the lawful (or those [cl]aiming to be, rather:

It’s impossible-

We’re designed for intimacy,

not disconnected servanthood)..

to the lawful, Grace is but an

“extension” of a judge called `Father’ (who’s anything but),

who’s actually dictated by “justice”

(“eye for an eye/tit for tat”, really),

with grace being an “overlooking”,

not “the goodness of God” working

through a man, making all things new…

Do you see how unscriptural it is to set Grace as nothing more than a free pass to Heaven?

It’s actually extremely self-centered:

There’s no being like Him..,

just “practice what you preach”;

No tangible “as He is so are we”,

just a pendulum of striving, or a

false vicariousness that can never be-

None of that is Grace, compassion, or mercy.

None of that is Love-

It’s the absence of,

and extreme negligence. . .

Grace is God’s livelihood, empowering and moving through a man, inaugurated in abiding acknowledgment of an eternal union, that can never be undone.

Oh, the immovable peace, continually born in the everlasting first-fruits of that union…..

What a joy…, set before Him:

Us, His immeasurable Image.
