GRACE UPON GRACE

DEUTERONOMY 11:26-28 BEHOLD, I SET BEFORE YOU THIS DAY A BLESSING AND A CURSE; A BLESSING, IF YE OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD GOD, WHICH I COMMAND YOU THIS DAY: AND A CURSE, IF YE WILL NOT OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD YOUR GOD, BUT TURN ASIDE OUT OF THE WAY WHICH I COMMAND YOU THIS DAY, TO GO AFTER OTHER gods, WHICH YE HAVE NOT KNOWN. LOVE

 ACTS 2:38-40 THEN PETER SAID  UNTO  THEM,  REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, AND  YE SHALL RECEIVE  THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST.  FOR  THE PROMISE IS UNTO YOU, AND TO YOUR CHILDREN, AND TO ALL THAT ARE AFAR OFF, EVEN AS MANY AS THE LORD OUR GOD SHALL CALL. AND  WITH MANY OTHER WORDS  DID HE TESTIFY AND EXHORT,  SAYING,  SAVE YOURSELVES  FROM THIS UNTOWARD GENERATION.    LOVE

1 CORINTHIANS 4:7-16  FOR WHO MAKETH THEE  TO DIFFER FROM ANOTHER?  AND  WHAT HAST THOU THAT  THOU DIDST NOT RECEIVE?  NOW IF THOU DIDST RECEIVE IT,  WHY DOST THOU GLORY,  AS IF THOU HADST  NOT RECEIVED IT?  NOW YE ARE FULL,  NOW YE ARE RICH,  YE HAVE REIGNED  AS KINGS WITHOUT US:  AND I WOULD TO GOD  YE DID REIGN,  THAT WE ALSO MIGHT  REIGN WITH YOU.  FOR I THINK THAT GOD HATH SET FORTH US THE APOSTLES LAST, AS IT WERE APPOINTED TO DEATH: FOR WE ARE MADE A SPECTACLE UNTO THE WORLD, AND TO ANGELS AND TO MEN. WE ARE FOOLS FOR CHRIST'S SAKE,  BUT YE ARE WISE IN CHRIST;  WE ARE WEAK,  BUT YE ARE STRONG;  YE ARE HONORABLE,  BUT WE ARE DESPISED.  EVEN UNTO THIS PRESENT HOUR  WE BOTH HUNGER,  AND THIRST,  AND ARE NAKED,  AND ARE BUFFETED,  AND HAVE NO CERTAIN  DWELLINGPLACE;  AND LABOUR,  WORKING WITH OUR OWN HANDS:  BEING REVILED...

MATTHEW 27:50-53   JESUS, WHEN HE HAD CRIED AGAIN WITH A LOUD VOICE, YIELDED UP THE GHOST. AND, BEHOLD, THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE WAS RENT IN TWAIN FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM; AND THE EARTH DID QUAKE, AND THE ROCKS RENT; AND THE GRAVES WERE OPENED; AND MANY BODIES OF THE SAINTS WHICH SLEPT AROSE, AND CAME OUT OF THE GRAVES AFTER HIS RESURRECTION, AND WENT INTO THE HOLY CITY, AND APPEARED UNTO MANY. LOVE  

 ROMANS 8:33-35   WHO SHALL LAY  ANY THING TO  THE CHARGE OF GOD'S ELECT?  IT IS GOD THAT JUSTIFIETH.  WHO IS HE THAT CONDEMNETH?  IT IS CHRIST THAT DIED,  YEA RATHER, THAT IS RISEN AGAIN,  WHO IS EVEN AT  THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,  WHO ALSO MAKETH  INTERCESSION FOR US.  WHO SHALL SEPARATE  US FROM THE LOVE OF CHRIST?  SHALL TRIBULATION, OR DISTRESS,  OR PERSECUTION, OR FAMINE, OR NAKEDNESS,  OR PERIL, OR SWORD?     LOVE
