John 1:16
For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.
Not only do we receive grace from God but grace upon grace. The antichrist despise grace because it is the fullness of Jesus
John 1:17
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
The bible made a clear distinction between the law (Moses) and grace (Jesus Christ).
Those under the law despise the grace of God
Acts 13:41
Look, you mockers, be amazed and die! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it.’”
Hebrew 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
God sits on the throne of grace where mercy is received. When people mock, they mock the throne of grace that God sits on.
Acts 15:11
But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
Acts 15:10
Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
This yoke neither we or our forefathers could keep I.e. perfect obedience to the law.
Why will God judge people?
Hebrew 10:19
How much greater punishment do you think he will deserve who has rejected and trampled under foot the Son of God, and has considered unclean and common the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and has insulted the Spirit of grace [who imparts the unmerited favor and blessing of God]?
Those who despise and trample on the grace of God and the finished work of Christ , those are the people that receive the judgment of God.
Ephesians 2:8 KJV
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
The only way a person can be saved is through grace and these religious people hate it and despise the Throne of God
Romans 11:6 KJV
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise, grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise, work is no more work.
If the gospel is of grace, then it’s no more of works
Galatians 1:6 KJV
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Galatians 1:7 KJV
which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
These people pervert the gospel and trouble people into believing these false gospels.
Grace is not a doctrine but a person, it is Jesus.
Galatians 5:4 NLT
For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.
When you fall away from God’s grace, you have fallen into his judgment. This is why people get cut off.
Romans 5:1
Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
Romans 5:2 NLT
Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
Romans 5:2 KJV
by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Genesis 6:5-8 KJV
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Noah found grace before God and that was why he was not destroyed like the rest of the world.
Genesis 6:8 AMP
But Noah found favor and grace in the eyes of the Lord.
When you find grace is when you find favor before God and that’s how to avoid the judgement of God
Ephesians 3:2
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Ephesians 3:2-3 NIV
Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
The grace of God is a mystery and people that don’t have a revelation of it, cannot accept it. In fact, they make mockery of it
