What’s so great about Grace? It is that…..I AM declares

Grace "IS" !

Exodus 3(14) God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.'”

   

Grace IS. The Great I AM ,who has engineered the gift of salvation for humanity. This gift is outside humanity’s ability to earn it or destroy it. All of this was ordained and accomplished through Jesus of Nazareth, the perfect Lamb of God, slain before the foundation of the world. Grace "IS" the I AM that became flesh and dwelt among us. He fully absorbed the consequences of “the fall of man” saving and empowering humanity to rise completely healed, forgiven, and restored, without spot or blemish, being joyously welcomed in the presence of I AM. Grace "IS" faith’s empowerment for humanity to believe and receive the benefits of the gift provided by I AM. Grace simply “IS” because I AM, says it "IS.'' Grace is the Unoffendable love of God, freely given and to be freely received.

Grace “IS'' What Makes the Old Covenant Obsolete

Hebrews 8 (12-13) For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.'' 13 In that He says, “A new covenant.” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. 

Hebrews 10 (9 -10)then He said, “BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second. 10 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the Body of Jesus Christ once for all.

(Vs.16-17) 16 “THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEART, AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL WRITE THEM,” He then says, 17 “AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.”

I AM’s Grace “IS” a ''transgressor remover'' – O.T.

Psalms 103(8-13) 8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever.10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His loving-kindness toward those who fear (revere) Him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.13 just as a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear (revere) Him.

Revelation in the O.T. of the New covenant promises

I AM’s Grace “IS” -- not a sin counter –New Testament

2 Cor 5(18-19a) 18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19a namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them. 

1 Cor 13(5) (LOVE) It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

(God is Love: 1 Jn 4:16)

The Love of I AM’S Grace "IS" Unoffendable

A Believer's Response to I AM’S Grace that ''IS”

Isaiah 12(3) 1 then you will say on that day, “I will give thanks to You, O LORD; For although you were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, And You comfort me. 2 “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.” 3 Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation. 

On that day (To be Born Again is to Perceive the Kingdom) there is NO fear of anger. Salvation is drinking the joy, comfort, and strength of God’s incredible Grace of salvation.

The Grace of I AM Declares our Righteousness “IS'' a Gift

Romans 3(23-24)  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.

Romans 5(15-17)  But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. 17 For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of

righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

Grace ''IS" Christ in us the Hope of Glory-- Col.1:27

Imputed righteousness is not His covering but His character living in us and through us.

Gal 2(20) I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Gal 2(21) I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”

The Grace of I Am “IS” the Reality of a New Identity

2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
