GRACE UPON GRACE

MATTHEW 16:16-19 AND  SIMON PETER  ANSWERED AND SAID,  THOU ART THE CHRIST,  THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.  AND  JESUS ANSWERED  AND  SAID UNTO HIM,  BLESSED ART THOU, SIMON BARJONA:   FOR FLESH AND BLOOD HATH NOT REVEALED IT UNTO THEE, BUT MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. AND I SAY ALSO  UNTO THEE, THAT  THOU ART PETER,  AND  UPON THIS ROCK I WILL  BUILD MY CHURCH;  AND  THE GATES OF HELL  SHALL NOT PREVAIL  AGAINST IT.    AND  I WILL GIVE UNTO THEE THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN: AND WHATSOEVER THOU SHALT BIND ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN: AND WHATSOEVER THOU SHALT LOOSE ON EARTH SHALL BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN.    LOVE

EZEKIEL 7:20-23 AS FOR  THE BEAUTY  OF  HIS ORNAMENT,  HE SET IT IN MAJESTY:   BUT THEY MADE  THE IMAGES OF THEIR ABOMINATIONS  AND OF THEIR  DETESTABLE  THINGS THEREIN:   THEREFORE  HAVE I SET IT  FAR  FROM THEM.   AND I WILL  GIVE IT INTO  THE HANDS OF  THE STRANGERS  FOR A PREY,   AND TO  THE WICKED  OF  THE EARTH FOR A SPOIL;  AND  THEY SHALL POLLUTE IT.   MY FACE  WILL I TURN  ALSO FROM THEM,  AND  THEY SHALL POLLUTE   MY SECRET PLACE:  FOR THE ROBBERS  SHALL ENTER INTO IT,  AND DEFILE IT.   MAKE A CHAIN: FOR THE LAND IS FULL OF BLOODY CRIMES, AND THE CITY IS FULL OF VIOLENCE.   LOVE

1 CORINTHIANS 10:21-24 YE CANNOT  DRINK THE CUP OF THE LORD,  AND  THE CUP OF DEVILS:  YE CANNOT   BE PARTAKERS OF THE LORD'S TABLE,  AND  OF  THE TABLE OF DEVILS.  DO WE  PROVOKE  THE LORD TO JEALOUSY?   LOVE

ISAIAH 65:14-17 BEHOLD,  MY SERVANTS SHALL  SING  FOR JOY OF HEART,   BUT YE SHALL CRY  FOR SORROW OF HEART,  AND  SHALL HOWL  FOR VEXATION OF SPIRIT.   AND YE SHALL  LEAVE YOUR NAME  FOR  A CURSE UNTO MY CHOSEN:   FOR  THE LORD GOD  SHALL SLAY THEE,  AND  CALL HIS  SERVANTS  BY ANOTHER NAME:   THAT HE WHO  BLESSETH HIMSELF  IN THE EARTH  SHALL BLESS HIMSELF  IN THE GOD OF TRUTH;  AND  HE THAT SWEARETH  IN THE EARTH  SHALL SWEAR  BY THE GOD OF TRUTH;     BECAUSE  THE FORMER TROUBLES  ARE FORGOTTEN,  AND  BECAUSE  THEY ARE HID  FROM MINE EYES.   FOR BEHOLD, I CREATE  NEW HEAVENS  AND  A NEW EARTH:  AND  THE FORMER  SHALL NOT  BE REMEMBERED,  NOR COME TO MIND.   ...

MALACHI 1:11     FOR  FROM THE RISING  OF  THE SUN  EVEN UNTO  THE GOING DOWN  OF  THE SAME  MY NAME  SHALL BE GREAT  AMONG THE GENTILES;  AND  IN EVERY PLACE  INCENSE SHALL BE OFFERED  UNTO  MY NAME,  AND  A PURE OFFERING:  FOR MY NAME  SHALL BE GREAT  AMONG THE HEATHEN,  SAITH  THE LORD OF HOSTS.  LOVE

MARK 10:37-40 THEY SAID UNTO HIM, GRANT UNTO US THAT WE MAY SIT, ONE ON THY RIGHT HAND, AND THE OTHER ON THY LEFT HAND, IN THY GLORY. BUT JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, YE KNOW NOT WHAT YE ASK: CAN YE DRINK OF THE CUP THAT I DRINK OF? AND BE BAPTIZED WITH THE BAPTISM THAT I AM BAPTIZED WITH? AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM, WE CAN. AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, YE SHALL INDEED DRINK OF THE CUP THAT I DRINK OF; AND WITH THE BAPTISM THAT I AM BAPTIZED WITHAL SHALL YE BE BAPTIZED:   BUT TO SIT ON MY RIGHT HAND AND ON MY LEFT HAND IS NOT MINE TO GIVE; BUT IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO THEM FOR WHOM IT IS PREPARED. LOVE

PHILIPPIANS 3:7-11 BUT WHAT THINGS  WERE GAIN TO ME,  THOSE  I COUNTED  LOSS FOR CHRIST.   YEA DOUBTLESS,  AND  I COUNT ALL THINGS  BUT  LOSS FOR  THE EXCELLENCY  OF  THE KNOWLEDGE  OF  CHRIST JESUS  MY LORD:  FOR  WHOM  I HAVE SUFFERED  THE LOSS OF ALL THINGS,  AND  DO COUNT THEM  BUT DUNG,  THAT  I MAY WIN CHRIST,  AND  BE FOUND IN HIM,   NOT HAVING  MINE OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH IS OF THE LAW,  BUT  THAT  WHICH IS THROUGH  THE FAITH OF CHRIST,  THE RIGHTEOUSNESS  WHICH IS OF  GOD BY FAITH:   THAT  I MAY KNOW HIM,  AND  THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION, AND  THE FELLOWSHIP  OF  HIS SUFFERINGS,  BEING MADE  CONFORMABLE  UNTO HIS DEATH;   IF BY MEANS  I MIGHT ...

REVELATION 17:14 THESE  SHALL  MAKE WAR  WITH  THE LAMB, AND THE LAMB   SHALL OVERCOME THEM:   FOR  HE IS LORD OF LORDS,  AND  KING OF KINGS:   AND THEY THAT ARE WITH HIM ARE CALLED, AND CHOSEN, AND FAITHFUL. LOVE  

DEUTERONOMY 12:30-32 TAKE HEED TO THYSELF  THAT THOU NOT BE  SNARED BY FOLLOWING  THEM,   AFTER THAT THEY  BE DESTROYED  FROM BEFORE THEE;  AND  THAT THOU ENQUIRE  NOT AFTER  THEIR gods,  SAYING,  HOW DID THESE  NATIONS SERVE  THEIR gods?  EVEN SO  WILL I DO LIKEWISE.   THOU SHALT NOT  DO SO  UNTO THE  LORD THY GOD:   FOR EVERY  ABOMINATION TO THE LORD,  WHICH HE HATETH,  HAVE THEY DONE  UNTO THEIR  gods;  FOR EVEN THEIR  SONS AND THEIR  DAUGHTERS  THEY HAVE BURNT  IN THE FIRE  TO THEIR  gods.   WHAT THING SOEVER I COMMAND YOU, OBSERVE TO DO IT: THOU SHALT NOT ADD THERETO, NOR DIMINISH FROM IT. LOVE

ROMANS 2:7-11 TO THEM  WHO  BY PATIENT CONTINUANCE  IN WELL DOING  SEEK FOR  GLORY AND HONOR  AND  IMMORTALITY,  ETERNAL LIFE:  BUT UNTO THEM  THAT ARE CONTENTIOUS,  AND  DO NOT  OBEY THE TRUTH,  BUT OBEY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, INDIGNATION AND WRATH, TRIBULATION AND ANGUISH,  UPON EVERY  SOUL OF MAN  THAT DOETH EVIL,   OF THE JEW FIRST,  AND  ALSO OF THE GENTILE;   BUT  GLORY, HONOUR,  AND PEACE,  TO EVERY MAN  THAT WORKETH GOOD,  TO THE JEW FIRST,  AND  ALSO TO THE GENTILE:   FOR THERE  IS NO  RESPECT OF PERSONS  WITH GOD.   LOVE

DEUTERONOMY 21:21-23 WHEN THOU SHALT VOW A VOW UNTO THE LORD THY GOD, THOU SHALT NOT SLACK TO PAY IT:   FOR THE LORD THY GOD WILL SURELY REQUIRE IT OF THEE;   AND IT WOULD BE SIN IN THEE.   BUT IF THOU SHALT  FORBEAR TO VOW,  IT SHALL BE  NO SIN IN THEE.   THAT  WHICH IS GONE  OUT OF THY LIPS  THOU SHALT  KEEP AND PERFORM;   EVEN A FREEWILL OFFERING, ACCORDING  AS THOU HAST VOWED   UNTO  THE LORD THY GOD,  WHICH THOU  HAS PROMISED  WITH THY MOUTH.
