Welcome To Grace And Truth
Ministries
This website is hosted and
monitored by a staff of non-denominational Believers, who are
dedicated to presenting a truth-filled and balanced understanding of
the Christian life. The articles and audiotapes contained in this
Christian Library have been collected from enlightened pastors and
Christians from all parts of the world, who understand God's true plan
of salvation.
One of the greatest dimensions missing in today's Christian community
is properly understanding the harmony and balance of God's Word. There
are over two thousand different denominations, sects and schisms in
the Christian community today. All of these religious bodies teach a
different interpretation of the Bible and each professes to embrace
the truth. Is it possible for there to be more than one version of the
truth? Not according to the words of Jesus as recorded in John 17:17,
"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." It is evident
that there is only one source and one message of truth, and they are
enshrined in God's Holy Scriptures.
The Bible teaches us that,
"...ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free" (John 8:32). If it is truth that makes us free,
then it is error, which keeps us in bondage. The error that has
divided Modern Christianity into so many different groups is their
failure to understand how our salvation in Christ, our obedience to
the Lord, and observance of Biblically ordained days of worship, work
in harmony to produce a balanced Christian life.
One group of Believers may teach that God's grace has abolished His
laws of love, as outlined in the Ten Commandments, another may
proclaim that we can only gain salvation and righteousness by keeping
the Laws of God, and most of mainstream Christianity has accepted the
belief that mankind can create his own days of worship, outside of the
instructions of the Bible. However, the simple and balanced truth is that grace, obedience and
God ordained assemblies of worship comprise the foundation of true
Christianity. They each have a specific role to perform in the
Christian's life and do not stray from the purpose for which they were
created.
Grace shows us the love that God has for humanity. The most costly
thing God ever did, was to love mankind. It cost Him the life of His
precious Son, Jesus Christ. It is a gift from God and cannot be
purchased by human works of righteousness. It does not give us a
license to sin; rather grace should make us want to give ourselves
totally to our God who loves us so deeply. We are saved through the
blood, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ - alone. The Lord
finished our salvation. Nothing can be added to, or taken away from
His perfect sacrifice. Jesus is our only hope.
God's laws of love enable us to understand the mind of our Heavenly
Father and teach us how to love Him and our fellowman. Our faith in
God's grace is proven by our obedience to His laws of love, as
revealed in the Ten Commandments. Our obedience proves that we have
made Jesus the Lord of our lives, as well as Savior. Obedience is not
earning one's salvation, but is a fruit of grace and shows
appreciation for God's love and mercy.
The annual festivals of God celebrate the works of Jesus Christ. They
are a tribute to the love, sufferings and sacrifices that our Lord and God have
made for humanity. They show us God's plan for saving the human race. These
festivals were created in the mind and heart of God as a memorial to the
redemptive works of Jesus. God has blessed them, and they are the only ordained
assemblies of worship revealed within the scriptures
These foundational truths are an indispensable part of a balanced
Christian life in Jesus Christ. The confusion over this subject makes
it essential that we comprehend how God's moral code of conduct and
His chosen days of worship work together, and in complete harmony with
grace. This will enable us to better understand our New Testament
relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Our objective is to distribute only Biblically based information,
centered upon the Word of God and without the interference of man-made
doctrines. We pray that the literature offered on this website will
help you find the truth, harmony and balance, that Jesus died to give
all humanity.
In Christ's Name, The staff at Grace and Truth Ministries website.
