Subject: Supposed to "DO" something? |
Bible Note: "Not sharp shooting, just looking for clarification. I would still say that grace is a gift, but we must co-operate with it." God's Grace can be equated with God's love. God's name is LOVE. His Kingdom is a Kingdom of LOVE. A simple deduction would be to say Grace is God, in the sense we speak. Therefore it is He we must cooperate with. Grace is a then a matter of His LOVE extended to us especially when we please Him by living by the Faith of Christ. In living this way Grace becomes a given because Christ had the Mind of His Father and Now we, who abide in Christ, also have it, though it be a learning and an overcoming of "self" process for us. Now the infusion of things in Him is a given for us, according to His will. Ask anything in My name, He says, and the Father will give it to you. Imputing is at salvation. Imparting begins when we choose to follow. Thanks. Please forgive me for my remark. |
