PURITY OF THE GRACE
1). The Lord Jesus Christ is the functional and Organic Grace of God that conveyed the salvation of the spirit, soul and body to all men.
2). It is not all the human beings that have accepted to receive Christ as the free gift from God our Maker who knows all things.
3). Amongst the multitude of the earth dwellers, it is just a handful of persons that truly believes that Jesus Christ is the ultimate Almighty of the entire universe.
4). It is the only truth, but it is a hard truth which cannot be exchanged for any alternative.
5). This has been done and concluded, but mankind is left with the option to receive the full salvation of the spirit, soul and body 1 Thessalonians 5:23
6). He came with a principled message of denying all ungodliness and worldly lusts; that we can then live successfully, soberly, righteously and godly, in this present world.
7). As the Lord is called the Rock, Wisdom, Power, Righteousness and more, in the same manner, He is also titled Grace, Lion, Wonderful etc. .
8). Being also titled the “Grace”, this word is a great subject matter which should be discreetly studied and examined, as it is related to the Most High God.
9). It is written in the Bible book of Habakkuk 1:13 saying:
10). Vs.13. You have purer eyes that cannot behold evil, and that cannot look on iniquity:
11). Wherefore do you look upon them that deals treacherously, and hold your tongue {from speaking out} when the wicked person is devouring the person that is more righteous than him?
12). The principal purpose of this scripture is to reaffirm that the eyes of the LORD are extraordinarily pure that it cannot behold evil, or look on iniquity.
13). Like people of today still query and indict the Lord with similar questions: that was how Habakkuk did when he saw the evil freely perpetuated in the land of the living.
14). Probably he might have thought that the LORD had let things happen the way he was seeing them.
15). However he as a prophet knew the truth remains that the eyes of the LORD cannot behold evil.
16). Possibly as prophet Isaiah was before he had an encounter with the LORD in Isaiah 6:1-8, that might have probably been the case of Habakkuk the prophet.
17). It takes having an encounter with the Lord, before the opening of divine understanding is granted to know His ways of dealing with issues.
18). This is why the LORD said to the children of men that His ways are not their ways, and neither is His thought, the same with their thoughts, Isaiah 55:7-8.
19). Verse 7 offers the counsel of how the ways and the thoughts of man can correspond in synergy with that of the LORD.
20). Unfortunately when a man believes in the Lord according to the limits of the ability of his faith, he thinks he has attained the quality of equality with the Lord: whereas he is yet to attain to the full knowledge of salvation.
21). The next thing is for him to start robbing shoulders with the unquestionable God, through his questionable knowledge.
22). The Bible book of Isaiah chapter 64:6 says:
23). Vs.6. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and all we (humans) do fade away as leaf; and our iniquities like the wind, have taken us away.
24). Although the human race sees itself with the concept of superiority, but what we have just read in Isaiah 64:6 is how man is to the eyes of the Lord of most excellent purity.
25). The Lord has said that the scriptures cannot be broken; therefore as the holy scriptures classify a man, so he is.
26). The Holy Bible records that all mankind have sinned, as we are seeing before own our eyes, and have been cut off, or come shut of the glory of God Romans 3:23.
27). In the same epistolary book of Romans 6:23, the consequence of sin is glaringly defined.
PERMANENT VICTIMS OF SATAN
28). It is said that the wages, that is, the reward for being a sinner, is eternal death, eternal separation from God.
29). Such victims will permanently be with Satan for ever and ever in everlasting torment and sorrow.
30). In the everlasting hell, Satan shall be the father and mother to his victims and also evil spirits shall be the relatives and closest neighbours to the permanent victims of Satan.
31). What we have just read now, are the awarded rewards for all who abandoned Christ and lived in sin permanently and die in everlasting poverty as the second death (Rev2:11;20:14;21:8)
32). Whereas it’s a general indictment on everyone that all have sinned: and again “the wages of sin is death”, it means that all have died before God spiritually, but exist physically on earth in the flesh.
33). This is the death the Lord will not allow us to die in eternity, being an eternal separation from eternal life in bliss.
34). As we read, think in your heart whether you are a human being.
35). And if you are a human being, then you are also spiritually dead as said that all have sinned; except you are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb of God.
36). Note that the blood of the Lamb of God is not hunting about to redeem the unwilling and non submissive sinners by force.
37). It is written in the Bible book of Isaiah 1:19 saying: “If you will be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land”.
38). Sin is everlasting death before God, that is the reason why He came urgently by Christ in the fullness of time, to save mankind who are already spiritually dead.
39). Reasoning deeply into the divine aptitude of His intervention, He unconditionally had come amidst this dead existing world.
40). This world has been killed, and so it is a planet of death, hence people die everyday in all the nations of the earth.
41). He came into the midst of the dead people through sins, in order to give them life and raise them spiritually from death.
42).The scripture counsels in Col.3:1 by saying, “If you then have been risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God”.
43). He had to die when He came into the world, because through His death He’d reach us the dead.
44). We sinners of this world were spiritually dead, but still having blood to exist on earth, because in the blood there’s life.
45). Therefore through His blood of redemption which He shed, He would procure us who should believe in Him, from everlasting death of eternal separation from our Father God.
46). For the Son of man is come to seek and to save them that were lost Luke 19:10.
47). This is an unquantifiable love in the Grace of the living God.

SPIRITUAL STAMINA
Investing much into the relationship with Christ grows spiritual stamina in order to resist spiritual challenges.
(1 Thessalonia 5:17; James 4:7-8; Luke 12:48).
).
STATUTORY OF MAN
48). According to (ref. P.47) the love of God towards mankind, is termed as unquantifiable.
49). The purpose of that classification can be found in Isaiah 64:6 which says,
50). “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind have taken us away”.
51). Remember that it has been said in the Bible book of Psalm 8:4 as follows: “What is a man that you are so mindful of him? And the son of man that you do visit him?
52). The favour of the LORD towards mankind is beyond imaginary guess.
53). Ordinarily God Almighty should not have any sort of dealings with human being who wasted all His labour of creation of the whole world.
54). If the LORD weren’t the God of endless alternatives, there shouldn’t have been no form of salvation left for the world.
55). Man myopically and so cheaply handed the world over to Satan the devil to oppose the LORD for ever.
56). Well, the Lord Jesus Christ has already, said that is none good, but God only; otherwise, there’s no one else that could endure such great error of human folly.
57). More so, it is pertinent to understand that the Holy scriptures have said in the Bible book of Habakkuk1:3 as follows:
58). Vs.3. “You are purer than to behold evil, and cannot look on iniquity:
59). Wherefore do you look on them that deal treacherously, and withhold your tongue from saying something when the wicked person is devouring the man who is more righteous than him”.
60). Read further from the Bible book of Job 15:14-16, and see how the LORD sees even all His saints:
61). Vs.14. What is a man that he should be clean? And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
62). Vs.15. Behold, He does not put trust in His saints, yea, the heavens are not clean in His sight.
63). Vs.16. How much more abominable and filthy is man, who drinks iniquity like water.
64). This is where the immeasurable Grace of God that brought salvation to all men is completely defined as limitless favour.
65). God has looked down from heaven and beheld the children of men and saw that they have all gone astray psalm 14:1,2,3(4).
LOST AND FOUND
66). Man was stolen and was lost to Satan, but the Lord came seeking for the lost man Luke 19:10. Who can bring out a clean thing out of unclean Job14:1-4.
EVERLASTING KINDNESS
67). Read the following Psalm 115:12; Ephesians 2:2-3
68). To avoid being tediously fatigued, we wish to request that you should review this brief lesson from time to time.
