Ephesians 2:8-9

Ephesians 2:8-9, and what it means to all people!!  By Anthony Joseph Hopkins July 13, 2021.

  1.        Praise the Lord Saints!!  Praise the Lord!!  How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  Ephesians 2:8-9 says it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.  To be honest with all of you, God is giving us something that we do not deserve.  What is the definition of the Word grace?  Grace is when do honor or credit to someone or something by one’s presence.

 

           Next, when it comes to the spiritual definition of the word grace.  Grace is a spiritual gift that involves love and mercy given to others even when we feel that they don't deserve it.  The Biblical definition of the word grace is; In Western Christian theology, grace is the help given to us by God because God desires us to have it, not necessarily because of anything we have done to earn it.  What is the definition of the word mercy?

 

Mercy is compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm.

  What is the Biblical definition of the word mercy? So, to me, mercy is a “love that responds to human need in an unexpected or unmerited way.” At its core, mercy is forgiveness. The Bible speaks of God's love for sinners – that is, for all of us. But the Bible also relates mercy to other qualities beyond love and forgiveness.

 Other definitions of the word mercy consist of 1a: compassion or forbearance (see forbearance sense 1) shown especially to an offender or to one subject to one's power also: lenient or compassionate treatment begged for mercy. b: imprisonment rather than death imposed as penalty for first-degree murder.  Let us fall into the hand of the Lord, for his mercy is great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.” Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him. 

 

 

 

 

Finally, I know that I have done some things that were not pleasing to both God and man alike.  I have grace because I have been saved.  I know when it comes to my life personally, I have completely changed behaviorally since February 15, 2015.  For six years right now, I am only a Work in Progress.  I am saying this because I am not perfect.

 God has a hold onto me right now.  When it comes to my thoughts, we are supposed to bring every thought into obedience.  We have a God who loves all of us.  God is in control!!  God gave authority to man over all of the earth.  Do you know who this man is Adam.  God gave the dominion over to man.  We have the authority to make a choice.  We have a choice to follow God or follow the world.

What is Forgiveness Part #2

  What is Forgiveness Part 2 By Anthony Joseph Hopkins May 8, 2021           Forgiveness Part #2 is simply about asking a very important question.   How many times shall I forgive my brother?   The answer is 70*7 = 490 times.   I will admit that I have to work on this issue myself.   This is simply because people has been cussing me out as of late.   I know that I have to forgive each person 490 times.     This is the truth.   I know that it is very hard for me to forgive each person 490 times.   I know that each person must forgive me a total of 490 times.   I have had one of my AA Sponsee cuss me out to my face.   I did not say or do anything to him personally. I have learned to become humble as of late.   I have more respect for other people’s feelings.   I am a sinner that needs grace and mercy. Next, I want to say that I have put up with a lot of crazy stuff f...
