GRACE UPON GRACE

LUKE 12:1-5 IN THE MEAN TIME,  WHEN THERE WERE  GATHERED TOGETHER  AN INNUMERABLE  MULTITUDE  OF PEOPLE,  INSOMUCH THAT THEY  TRODE ONE UPON  ANOTHER,  HE BEGAN TO SAY  UNTO HIS DISCIPLE  FIRST OF ALL,  BEWARE YE  OF  THE LEAVEN  OF THE PHARISEES,  WHICH IS HYPOCRISY.  FOR  THERE IS NOTHING COVERED, THAT SHALL NOT BE REVEALED; NEITHER HID, THAT SHALL  NOT BE KNOWN.   THEREFORE WHATSOEVER YE HAVE SPOKEN  IN DARKNESS SHALL BE HEARD IN THE LIGHT; AND  THAT WHICH  YE HAVE SPOKEN  IN THE EAR  IN CLOSETS  SHALL BE PROCLAIMED  UPON THE HOUSETOPS.  AND  I SAY UNTO YOU MY FRIENDS,  BE NOT AFRAID OF THEM THAT KILL THE BODY, AND AFTER THAT HAVE NO MORE THAT THEY CAN DO. BUT  I WILL FOREWARN YOU  WHOM YE SHALL FEAR:  F EAR HIM,  WHICH AFTER  HE HATH  KILLED  HA...

 HEBREWS 4:14-16 SEEING THEN  THAT WE HAVE  A GREAT HIGH PRIEST,   THAT IS PASSED  INTO THE HEAVENS,  JESUS THE SON OF GOD,  LET US HOLD FAST  OUR PROFESSION.   FOR WE HAVE NOT  AN HIGH PRIEST  WHICH  CANNOT BE TOUCHED  WITH  THE FEELING OF OUR  INFIRMITIES;  BUT WAS  IN ALL POINTS   TEMPTED LIKE AS WE ARE,  YET WITHOUT SIN.  LET US THEREFORE  COME BOLDLY UNTO  THE THRONE OF GRACE,  THAT WE MAY  OBTAIN MERCY,  AND  FIND GRACE  TO  HELP  IN TIME OF NEED.   LOVE

John 3:1-8   THERE WAS  A MAN OF THE PHARISEES,  NAMED NICODEMUS,  A RULER OF JEWS:  THE SAME  CAME BY NIGHT,  AND  SAID UNTO HIM,  RABBI, WE KNOW THAT  THOU  ART A TEACHER  COME FROM GOD:  FOR NO MAN CAN DO  THESE MIRACLES  THAT THOU DOEST,  EXCEPT  GOD BE WITH HIM   JESUS ANSWERED AND  SAID UNTO HIM, VERILY, VERILY,  I SAY UNTO THEE,   EXCEPT A MAN  BE BORN AGAIN,  HE CANNOT SEE  THE KINGDOM OF GOD.   NICODEMUS SAITH UNTO HIM,  HOW CAN A MAN  BE BORN  WHEN HE IS OLD?  CAN HE ENTER  THE SECOND TIME  INTO HIS MOTHER'S  WOMB, AND BE BORN?   JESUS ANSWERED,  VERILY, VERILY,  I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN  BE BORN  OF  WATER  AND  OF  THE SPIRIT,  HE CANNOT ENTER  INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THAT WHICH IS BORN...

HEBREWS 7: 14-17  FOR IT IS EVIDENT   THAT  OUR LORD SPRANG  OUT OF JUDA;  OF WHICH  TRIBE  MOSES SPAKE  NOTHING  CONCERNING  PRIESTHOOD.   AND  IT IS YET FAR  MORE EVIDENT:   FOR THAT  AFTER THE SIMILITUDE  OF  MELCHISEDEC  THERE ARISETH  ANOTHER PRIEST,   WHO IS MADE,   NOT AFTER   THE LAW OF A CARNAL COMMANDMENT,  BUT  AFTER  THE POWER OF AN ENDLESS LIFE.   FOR  HE TESTIFIETH,  THOU ART  A PRIEST FOR EVER  AFTER THE ORDER  OF  MELCHISEDEC.  LOVE

ROMANS 5:6-9   FOR WHEN  WE WERE YET  WITHOUT  STRENGTH,  IN DUE TIME  CHRIST DIED  FOR  THE UNGODLY.   FOR  SCARCELY  FOR  A RIGHTEOUS MAN  WILL ONE DIE:   YET  PERADVENTURE  FOR  A GOOD MAN  SOME  WOULD EVEN  DARE TO DIE.  BUT  GOD COMMANDETH  HIS LOVE  TOWARD US,   IN THAT,  WHILE WE WERE  YET SINNERS,  CHRIST DIED FOR US.  MUCH MORE THEN,  BEING  NOW  JUSTIFIED  BY HIS BLOOD,  WE SHALL BE  SAVED  FROM WRATH  THROUGH HIM.  LOVE

ACTS 17:27-31 THAT THEY SHOULD  SEEK THE LORD,  IF HAPLY  THEY MIGHT FEEL  AFTER HIM,  AND  FIND HIM,   THOUGH HE BE NOT FAR  FROM  EVERY ONE OF US:  FOR IN HIM WE LIVE,  AND MOVE,  AND  HAVE OUR BEING;   AS CERTAIN  ALSO OF YOUR OWN  POETS HAVE SAID,  FOR WE ARE  ALSO HIS OFFSPRING.  FORASMUCH THEN  AS WE ARE  THE OFFSPRING OF GOD,   WE OUGHT NOT TO THINK THAT  THE GODHEAD IS LIKE  UNTO GOLD,  OR SILVER, OR STONE,  GRAVEN BY ART AND MAN'S DEVICE.  AND  THE TIMES OF THIS IGNORANCE  GOD WINKED  AT;  BUT NOW COMMANDETH ALL  MEN EVERY WHERE  TO REPENT:  BECAUSE  HE HATH APPOINTED A DAY,  IN THE WHICH HE WILL  JUDGE  THE WORLD IN RIGHTEOUSNESS   BY THAT MAN WHOM  HE HATH ORDAINED;  WHEREOF HE HATH GIVEN...

PSALMS 51:15-17 O LORD,   OPEN THOU  MY LIPS;  AND  MY MOUTH  SHALL  SHEW FORTH  THY PRAISE.   FOR THOU DESIREST   NOT SACRIFICE;  ELSE  WOULD  I GIVE IT:   THOU  DELIGHTEST  NOT IN  BURNT OFFERING.   THE SACRIFICES OF GOD ARE A BROKEN SPIRIT: A BROKEN AND CONTRITE HEART, O GOD THOU WILT NOT DESPISE. LOVE

ISAIAH 55:8-10   FOR MY  THOUGHTS ARE NOT  YOUR THOUGHTS, NEITHER ARE YOUR  WAYS MY WAY,  SAITH THE LORD.  FOR AS THE HEAVENS  ARE  HIGHER THAN THE EARTH,  SO ARE MY WAYS  HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS,  AND  MY THOUGHTS THAN YOUR THOUGHTS.  FOR AS THE RAIN  COMETH DOWN,  AND  THE SNOW FROM HEAVEN,  AND  RETURNETH NOT THITHER,  BUT WATERETH THE EARTH,  AND  MAKETH IT  BRING FORTH AND BUD, THAT IT MAY GIVE SEED TO THE SOWER, AND BREAD TO THE EATER: LOVE
