1 Unconditional Grace is Unconditionally Yours through the Free Gift of Our Lord Jesus Blood Sacrifice for You If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:...for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. Luke 2:40 We re the body of Christ today, and the same grace upon Jesus is upon us. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. John 1:17 Moses was a servant of God; Jesus is the Son of God. The law couldn t give us life; only Jesus could. We re not under the old covenant of performance of the law, but we re under the New Covenant Jesus of grace. Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. Acts 11:23 The grace of God brings us closer to Jesus. Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. Acts 13:43 We are to continue in the grace of God, not going back to trying to earn favor with God through the works of the law, efforts and performance. And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. Acts 14:26 The only ministry the Church has is to teach the grace of God (2 Cor. 3:6). People need to know God is not displeased or angry at them. And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God. Acts 15:40 The people in authority knew they needed to get the true gospel out, the gospel of the Grace of God through our Lord Jesus Christ - that you will never be judged for your sins.

2 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1,2 Justified means God sees you just as if you have never sinned. Grace is for the future hope of the glory of God, and you will never have to be afraid of not going to Heaven. Grace secures the now, and will also secure your future because of what Jesus did; not because of what we did or will do. And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God's condemnation. Romans 5:9 NLT God sees you as being right with Him, so see yourself being right with God regardless of your behavior. You can never do anything and not be right with God, because God sees you in Christ. You re well pleasing to God in Christ (Matt. 3:17). Keep saying over and over, I am well pleasing to my Father God. For if because of one man s trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). For just as by one man s disobedience (failing to hear, heedlessness, and carelessness) the many were constituted sinners, so by one Man s obedience the many will be constituted righteous (made acceptable to God, brought into right standing with Him). Romans 5:17,19 AMP What God did through Christ Jesus for us exceeds much more than what Adam did to humanity through sin. I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 1 Corinthians 1:4 God has already given you His grace, and you are not going to become more right with God when you get to heaven than you are right now. Your right standing with God is not based on your performance. God made you right with Him through Jesus Christ shedding His blood. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; 1 John 4:17 Jesus is the head, and we re the body. Jesus isn t suffering right now from sickness, poverty, depression, worry or fear. He is in perfect peace and health, and victory, with all abundance, seated at the right hand of God, and as He is, so are we in this world. As Jesus is NOW, so are YOU NOW! So, when a trial comes to you, think of how He is now. That is how YOU are now. Jesus isn t suffering anything now; you aren t supposed to, either. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 1 Corinthians 15:10 It s only by God s grace, or undeserved favor, that you can fulfill His will in your life. It s not by your efforts that you please God; it s by His grace that He s given you.

3 All of this is for your benefit. And as God's grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory. 2 Corinthians 4:15 NLT The more people receive God s grace, the more the body of Christ can excel in the work of God, unhindered by guilt and condemnation, which will glorify God more and more. It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor). 2 Corinthians 5:19 AMP It was God s idea to make us right with Him. That s why He gave us Jesus. God has cancelled out all your sins: past, present and future. Don t talk about your sins, but say, I m the righteousness of God in Christ. Because of Jesus, I m always in right standing with God. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16 Under our New Covenant, God s throne is a grace throne; not a judgment throne. He s not judging or condemning us now. He never wants you to be afraid to approach Him. We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. 2 Corinthians 6:1, Romans 4:14, Galatians 5:4 Our New Covenant is not based on performance or our conduct. It s all based on what God did through Jesus Christ for us. As soon as we attempt to do good works to please God, or try to earn anything from Him through our behavior, we fall from the benefits of the free gift of God: His grace. It s all by grace, and grace alone. So, you don t need to ever say, I m trying to do my best to be a good Christian. Just receive all God has done for you through Christ Jesus in your New Covenant. Talk about what Christ has done, and not what you are trying to do. Put all of your focus on Jesus. The more you focus on who you are in Christ, the fewer problems you are going to have with your flesh. But the more you focus on sin, the more problems you will have with sin. And they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace God has given to you. 2 Corinthians 9:14 NLT The grace of God attracts others to you. It brings joy to their hearts when they hear about the grace of God. It attracted multitudes to Paul s ministry. People want to hear more about the grace of God than anything else. And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and

4 spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:42-45 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die. Galatians 2:21 NLT There is no need to focus or even think about the law. It was never given to you or was it for you. It s almost like thinking about past sins, and God doesn t even do that (Isaiah 43:25, Hebrews 8:12) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:8 Anything and everything you receive from God is by grace, whether it s the new birth, good health, or prosperity. Just thank God you ve got it in Jesus Name, because Jesus bought it, paid for it and gave it to you. If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: Ephesians 3:2 Thank God we live under this dispensation (the period of time of the New Covenant of grace). There is no greater blessing. Thank Jesus every day for everything He did for you when He went to the cross! Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Ephesians 3:7 It s by the grace of God we minister to others. It s not because we re spiritual; it s because of God s grace. This is why it s called a common gospel; it s for everyone. Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:1 You want to learn everything you can about the grace of God. Immerse yourself in it until you become so strong in the grace of God that nothing else can penetrate you. It s what Ephesians calls the armor of God; you re protected from the onslaughts of the enemy. Thank You, God You are making me strong in Your grace! For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Titus 2:11 The grace of God is for everybody, no exceptions! God showed the whole world He loved them when He gave us His Son, Jesus. God proved He loved us. All He wants you to do is receive it, thank Him for it and receive it. Never try to earn it. By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand. 1 Peter 5:12 The true gospel is the grace of God; there is no other gospel. Galatians informs us of that repeatedly. Always stand in the grace of God and for the grace of God. Never let go and hold fast to it always! Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Jude 1:3,4

5 Contending for the faith means we re the righteousness of God by faith, and we have to fight the spiritual warfare to never allow anyone, including the devil, to rob us of our right standing with God through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is a free gift to all who want to receive it. If you walk away from the grace of God, you are denying what Jesus did for you on the cross. Don t let any minister or any church or anything draw you back into works or keeping the law, because you will suffer guilt and condemnation over it, causing you to lose your joy and be angry and depressed without knowing why. Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus...continue in the grace of God....this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand. JESSE RICH MINISTRIES P.O. Box NYC N.Y www.
