ENDLESS GRACE UPON GRACE - PART 6

SATURDAY 02 NOVEMBER 2024

Reference: John 1:16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

"For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace."

Are you aware that through your salvation, you have received the fullness of Christ, in a fashioned sense of grace upon grace, yet on earth, what you have received is still unfolding, as you keep functioning in agreement or aligning yourself with the Word of His grace. Are you with me? Receiving His fullness is like receiving a laptop which is complete when delivered to you, however, you are not going to grasp the full revealing insight into all the parts of the laptop and their functions instantly.

For the laptop to become an integral part of your life, you must observe to master and gain a precise understanding of the programs, operating information, and multitude of the components fully functional and effective as harmonious entities - that deliver your seamless computing experience. Yes you have received Christ in your life, but to grow in His grace, you must observe to know the "all-encompassing" truth about God and this Christ you've received.

To that effect, Petrine epistolary expression numbered as 2 Peter 1:2 reads, "May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord" (NLT). Got it? Beloved, you must come to comprehensive conclusion that this knowledge of God and Jesus the Lord, which you are growing in, is your claim to supreme power and authority.

Are you also aware that you are currently seated with Christ at the right hand of His majesty beyond a figure of speech and notional cognizance? Please study cogitatively Ephesians 2:6, if you are not yet aware that you are part of the throne seating images in heaven. On earth, as a spirit being - created anew in Christ, you are constantly learning and practising the real knowledge of your King and the Lord of all seated on the greatest throne, through your Bible study.

Simply put, the heavenly throne room is a symbol of divine power and sovereign rule, and the establishment of the lifestyle of this Kingdom in you is through the knowledge of God, the King, and Christ Jesus, the Lord. Your defining emblem of spiritual personality is righteousness in the throne room foundation because you've been justified by faith in Christ. So you are seated with Christ on a throne whose foundation is righteousness and divine justice (see Psalm 89:14 NIV). In other words, they are the "accurate rendering" of your solid foundation in Christ. That's the main reason your foundation is sure.

To that effect Pauline epistolary expression numbered as 2nd Timothy 2:19 reads, "Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God [which He has laid] stands [sure and unshaken], bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of the Lord stand apart from wickedness and withdraw from wrongdoing" (AMP). Why must you refrain from practising wickedness and withdraw from wrongdoing? Both practices are not consistent with the foundation of the throne you are positioned to sit on - explicitly while experiencing a harmonious joint-sitting with Christ. Got it?

The foundation of the throne of grace is a solid foundation that stands firm, and is sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are His", denoting that everyone who is seated together with Christ in the heavenly realms, is well known by God, and bearing in mind that the foundational substances placed underneath the throne of grace are righteousness and divine justice, which are the antidote to wrong doings and wickedness respectively. Stay tuned for part 7. Shalom!
