Grace,.. and *Taking The Lord’ Name in Vain

For our consideration:

Are We Taking The Lords Name in Vain,..nothingness ?
~~~~~
Question:
Is it detrimental for us understand the true meaning/it’s original definition of these (2) Words,..?
*Grace, * His Name,
Plus *in vain
~~~~~
Old Testament,..
Exodus 20:7,
"Thou shalt not take *The Name of the LORD thy God *in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh *His Name in vain.”
~~~~~~
But in The New Testament,
it is worded a little different,.. bringing in
the word’Grace’
~~~~~~~
... it is then talking of:
*taking the Grace of God in vain
~~~~~~~
Question:But what is His Name ? Is His Word,.. His judgements, The whole Word of God, ... Is this truly His Name ?
~~~~~~~
Rev.19:13,
"And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and *His Name is called The Word of God.”
~~~~~~
Still thinking on ‘the Name’ in vain,and His Name being *The Word of God
~~~~~~~~~
*Does ‘Grace’ encompass the whole Word of God ?” ( The Word of God is *His Name)
,~~~~~
-Art Katz, once said, "Grace is God,Himself”...End Quote-
~~~~~
If Grace is ‘God Himself’ and ‘God’ is the whole Word and Spirit of God,.. all His judgements in all things, ..and is *His Name,..then how can we * take *His Name in vain, through His Grace?
~~~~~~
2Cor.6:1,
"¶ We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye *receive not the grace of God in vain.”
””-
(In other words,... in nothingness)
Question: could we be *taking His Name in vain through His Grace ?
~~~~~~
How?
~~~~~~
*Grace: "The Devine effluence upon the heart, and it’s reflection in The life.”
~~~~~~
So,.. What is this that God influences us
with ?
~~~~~~
He impresses His Word,.. His judgments
upon our heart, through His Spirit, ...(Grace) to the drawing of doing of His will into our lives,to draw us to Him,.. Through The Word/Spirit,..Grace),... ( a, turn ye, turn ye)
~~~~~~
1Cor.15:10,
Paul,..
"But by *the grace of God I am what I am: and *his grace which was bestowed upon me was *not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, *but the grace of God which was with me.”
~~~~~~
Foot Note:
By Paul, obeying the voice,.. *The leading of God’Grace, ..this drawing of God’ will,..The Word upon his life, he did not receive /take, *His name,.. *His Grace in vain

Continuing thoughts on *Grace,
.....and thoughts are invited,...
””””””””””
Paul received *The Word of His Grace’

Acts 14:3,
"Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto *the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.”
~~~~~~
Acts 20:32,
"¶ And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to *the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.”
~~~~~~~~~
**And so I reiterate, the words written in the last post, with emphasis on *the word,.. as given by *Grace .
~~~~~
Re:
**He impresses *His Word,.. His judgments upon our heart, through His Spirit, ...(Grace) to the drawing of doing of His will into our lives,to draw us to Him,.. Through *The Word\\Spirit,..Grace),...
~~~~~
...drawing and enabling us to do His bidding/will.
~~~~~~~
Note:
We NEED this *Grace, ... because without it,.. this *Grace, we have
*no power against the powers of sin,....
*no power to *save ourselves.
~~~~~~~~
Taking much thought about next Scripture given ,as to *Grace and *Power >>>>
~~~~~~~~
2 Cor: 12:9,
"And he said unto me, *My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that *the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
~~~~~~
Re note,
There is *power in this *gift,..of.. *Grace,....
to help in time of need.
~~~~~~~
Heb.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.”
~~~~~~
But where is "the throne of *Grace ?”
~~~~~~~
*We know it is by bowing at the feet of Jesus.♥️

*Grace....unmerited favor , a gift we did not / do not deserve....it is Devine help and in time of need.,..
~~~~~~~~
* Grace, a gift that keeps on giving.

Grace - good nuggets of wisdom to chew on, Sister.

More food for thought.
a taste of what Grace is.

My strength is made perfect in weakness

saved through faith

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace

it is no longer of works

God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need

grace and truth came through Jesus Christ

11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself Hisown special people, zealous for good works.

You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus

19 For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died [j]in vain.”

10 But [f]may the God of all grace, who called [g]us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, [h]perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Thank you Sherri,
* Grace, .....Much here to think about,..
Paul’s desire:,...and he knowing of the importance of *Grace,... it was not just empty words.
~~~~~,,
Notice how he and many others emphasized the word *Grace.
First , he would say, "Grace to you and peace”
Grace is *always first,..
we must have this *Grace first, before we can have *peace.

Grace helps us to be *reconciled to *God, ( who is The One Who speaketh to us,.. led by,.. He is The Spirit / Word.
So ! ..He is *Reconciling us unto Himself.”
~~~~~~~~~
*The Devine effluence ,... *Grace

Sister Elibeth,
It’s been such a blessing to listen to these teachings. Something that stood out today was this passage in the NIV version....

The question is : What does GRACE teach us?

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say "No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope””the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

Hi Sherry,
A blessing , I have just found your commment to
This EVER SO IMPORTANT WORD, ‘GRACE’
~~~~~~~~~
... it teaches,....
But how does it teach ?
...*Teaching ?,...but by Devine effluence,.. drawing us forth,.. showing us to what His righteousness,.. His judgements,.. how He see’s matters is,.. and at that time providing the ‘help’(Grace to help in time of need).”
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lord’ drawing at the beginning,... that was ‘Grace’,..
The ‘help’,.. the power to obey,.. that was ‘Grace’...
The ‘teaching’ us in the ‘Way’ we should go,.. walk,... that was / is ‘Grace’
~~~~~~~~~~~
Where / When do we hear such ?
~~~~~~~~~~~

I gave website a couple posts before this,...
This man,Gbile Akanni,.. could not say it better,... quite a blessing.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you again my sister
””””””””””””””♥️
