Grace, the Dividing Line
Grace is not all that men say it is, infact; grace is a measure of clarity that no man can
change by trying to change the meaning of or the god of. Grace and mercy are the same thing,
when they are given by God, and they both stem from a heart of compassion. Grace is not the
grease or the sloppy agape’ that to many behind the pulpit preach today, grace is the mercy God
shows us from His heart of compassion as we go through the trials and tribulations. Grace is
also the dividing line, by which mankind shall be judged according to God’s Word. God gives
the doers of His Word grace, He understands the struggle we go through while we’re being
changed into the being of His desire and effect. We must remember, God came as flesh and
lived this very same life, going through and experiencing the same things, so His compassion is
always on those who seek to be God pleasers. 2Ki 13:23 And the LORD was gracious unto
them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence
as yet. Psa 25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they
have been ever of old. In this following verse, we see God wants us to walk in His truth, and
His truth is His way; Psa 40:11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let
thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. Isa 30:18 And therefore will the
LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have
mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. Isa
63:7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according
to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel,
which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his
lovingkindnesses. Joe 2:13 And rend your lev, and not your garments, and turn unto Hashem
Eloheichem; for He is channun (gracious) and rachum (merciful), slow to anger, and of rav
Chesed (mercy), and He relents from sending calamity. If we actually took the time to study His Word, as we’re commanded, we would find in the Hebrew language, the word rachamim mentioned in all these verses, is the compassion of God’s heart.

God does not change, whether He be the God of the Old Testament or the God, Jesus, Word of the New Testament, He’s still the same God, do not let anyone tell you anything different! Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Heb 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. The last chapter of Daniel should be proof, only those who walk righteous in God’s righteousness will make to the promised land. Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. Dan 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Dan 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Dan 12:5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. Dan 12:6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Dan 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Dan 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. Dan 12:13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. Those who choose to walk any way they want, continuing in the perpetuation of sin, will end up at an eternal loss, please don’t be one of those. We seriously need to repent, stop listening to hand me down religious lies and start seeking God for ourselves, and walking in His way and truth, amen!!!
