Romans 8 :29-30

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

GRPL THREAD: Verses of Grace ping

[Wrigley]

Is that the right translation?

[RnMomof7]

 
 
Eph 1:3  
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:

  
 
Eph 1:4  
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

  
 
Eph 1:5  
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

 
Eph 1:6  
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

[BibChr]

1 Timothy 1:15 — The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.

NB — "to save sinners"; NOT "to provide salvation for sinners," NOR "to make salvation available to sinners," NOR, STILL LESS, "to enable sinners to save themselves"...

...but "to save sinners."

Dan

[irishtenor]

Gen. 1:1 to Rev. 22:21 inclusive. Sorry, I had to do it :>)

[snerkel]

A portrait of Grace. A picture is worth a thousand words.



Colossians 2:13-15

13 And you who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (your sensuality, your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to life together with [Christ], having [freely] forgiven us all our transgressions,

14 Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross.

15[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].

[Dr. Eckleburg]

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose." -- Romans 8:28

[A.J.Armitage]

"Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand." Romans 14:4

[Tares]

Deuteronomy Chapter 9, especially verses 4-6:

Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee. Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

Wow, nobody's posted this one yet:

Eph. 2:8-9

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and
this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not
by works, so that to one can boast.

It took me about ten years to realize that the clause "and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God" referred to the faith, not to the grace. Thus formed my tagline.

[CCWoody]

Let my mouth be filled with thy praise, and with thy glory euery day. Cast mee not off in the time of age: forsake me not when my strength faileth.
(Psa 71:8-9 GB)

[CCWoody]

Nowe vnto him that is able to keepe you, that ye fall not, and to present you faultlesse before the presence of his glorie with ioy, That is, to God only wise, our Sauiour, be glorie, and maiestie, and dominion, and power, both nowe and for euer, Amen.
(Jud 1:24-25 GB)

[Wrigley]

How about

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

[CCWoody]

To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah.

Lord, thou hast bene fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast brought againe the captiuitie of Iaakob. Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, and couered all their sinnes. Selah.

Thou hast withdrawen all thine anger, and hast turned backe from the fiercenes of thy wrath. Turne vs, O God of our saluation, and release thine anger toward vs. Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? and wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another? Wilt thou not turne againe and quicken vs, that thy people may reioyce in thee? Shew vs thy mercie, O Lord, and graunt vs thy saluation.
(Psa 85:1-7 GB)

[CCWoody]

Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name. I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer. For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue.
(Psa 86:11-13 GB)

[CCWoody]

Fill vs with thy mercie in the morning: so shall we reioyce and be glad all our dayes.
(Psa 90:14 GB)


O satisfy us early with Your mercy. Since we must die, and die so soon, we plead for your mercy. He who has the heart to pray need never be hungry. The only satisfying food for the Lord's people is the favour of God.

Are we so soon to die? Then, Lord, do not starve us while we live. Satisfy us at once, we pray. Our day is short and the night will not delay. O give us in the early morning of our days to be satisfied with Your favour, that all through our little day we may rejoice and be glad.

Teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to Your wisdom.

[Jean Chauvin]

Here's my biblical passage which proclaims a sovereign God whose grace is un-leveraged.

It's kinda long:

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth...21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Jean

[CCWoody]

Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe, That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of euill, whiles the pitte is digged for the wicked. Surely the Lord will not faile his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
(Psa 94:12-14 GB)
