The priority of grace I will mention is spiritual prosperity than the abundance of material earthly things. Only focus to the cross in our labor. We are still given the option to work for the unrighteous mammon for our basic needs like Apostle Paul who traded as a tentmaker with Priscilla and Aquilla.


For one thing, we spread the gospel, we have to labor in our body to support for the furtherance of the work of the Lord on the gospel of God though we have the last two mites. God saw the sincerity of the giver.

Law demands the requirements or ordinance of the organization.Other man made doctrines are using the name of the Lord in vain in raising funds from people. I always heard leaders boasting in the pulpit that they preached sermons for more than 40 years(self effort).There is no gospel of God on obscure sermons. The leader and the members prayed long all night and fasted for one week. They went out house to house on soul winning. Burning hay, straw services, working hard for God of these forms of duties are the demands of denominational system without the true meaning of the cross and the blood of Christ. The gospel of God was not properly understood on the death,burial and resurrection of the Saviour. They had to work to earn the favor of God in that form of service.


In contrary to Grace, the unmerited favor works for every believer to rest on God. These kind of obscure sermons of the former will lead people to go to hell. People are not even saved on this case. Pianist in the church would even say that I played piano with the choir for more than thirty years to earn God's blessings. This kind of service failed also on the unmerited favor of God's grace.


Under the law system in Galatians 3:10,11... For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.



Example of a man who lives by faith on the Old Testament book was Abraham. Galatians 3:6,7... Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, THE SAME ARE THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM. v.14.. That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through JESUS CHRIST( fulfilled prophecy): that we might receive the promise of the SPIRIT through faith.


We are saved by the unmerited favor( grace of Jesus Christ on his sufferings at the cross for all sinners) through faith.Let us take more in the fullness of grace.
