The Simplicity of Grace Living
A short while ago I watched a video of a theological debate featuring 3 prominent speakers who represent 3 different denominations. As a host asked various questions, each of the panelists would respond, and the theology of these participants differed from mild to wild depending on the questions. It was interesting to watch how each defended their particular view of theology, and even though they validated their points with scriptures and good arguments, it was quite sad to see how they made the whole debate complex and divisive based on their differences.
2 Cor.9:15 Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable [indescribable] gift.
Rom.5:17 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.)
Rom.6:23 for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
Eph.2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Paul says it like this in 2 Corinthians 9:15, "Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift". What is this gift? It is Christ who came to complete a work on our behalf; His cross-work, to die for us, to be buried, and to rise again for us and for our justification. It is an unspeakable gift! The word 'unspeakable' means to not able to be expressed in words, to wonder for words beyond the human vocabulary. What an indescribable gift!
As the end of time draws near for this creation, (the time just before what Paul's refers to as the 'fullness of the times', Eph.1:10), every living being will be subject to judgement based on their individual motives and actions during their life and ultimately their faith in the existence of God and His Word. According to Hebrews 9 below, what one does during their life, their choices and actions, is what they will be held accountable for after they die.
Heb.9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment:
Let's list out the various judgements that will follow this age and provide a brief context of each.
We know as fact, and because of detailed evidence in Paul's writings, that the grace gospel has no works connected to salvation because Jesus has done the 'works' part on our behalf and all that is required of us to be saved is to believe the completed work of Christ. However, under the Law program, there was no such definitive salvation statements and the pattern during the period of law was that one would believe in the Redeemer/Messiah to come, but until then there were also works of obedience. God still required men to do His commands even though they believed in a coming Redeemer/Messiah.
Rom.2:12 For as many as have sinned without law [Gentiles] shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law [Jews] shall be judged by the law; 13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. ...
Gentiles were never given the law and will never be judged by the law. Only Israel received the law. Notice which Jews will be justified by the law, only the doers. It was necessary for Jews to do the law in order to validate their faith in the Messiah. Only a faith confession would not fulfil the condition!
