And I think many who know they are saved only by God's grace still fall into the trap of thinking we have to work to please God. Of course, good works will naturally flow from our joy and gratitude, but He already loves us infinitely, so we don't have to work to earn His love. Praise God for His freely given love and grace!<br />Thanks so much for your lovely comment & for hosting, & God bless!<br />Laurie Laurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-21370354234085335932013-08-22T21:07:38.220-07:002013-08-22T21:07:38.220-07:00Thank you for linking to #TellHisStory, and your c...Thank you for linking to #TellHisStory, and your commitment to the life-changing power of God's Word.

I see the emphasis on work for salvation so often, and can't imagine how sad it must make God that so many believe this lie.<br /><br />I also think many unintentionally think they have to work for their salvation, which is a cause of much unhappiness. As work becomes the focus, rather than relationship.<br /><br />To God be the glory, for His saving grace.<br /><br />I am truly thankful for all He has done for me.<br /><br />Thank you for linking up at Scattering the Stones.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463954995843689092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-73581076682800574042013-08-21T14:01:19.748-07:002013-08-21T14:01:19.748-07:00Thanks, Jenifer, for your comment & for hostin...Thanks, Jenifer, for your comment & for hosting!

People want to make it more complicated by adding their works to it, so that they can be proud of what they did, but the true response to His saving grace should be humility, realizing that without Him we can do nothing.<br />May you have a blessed week in Him,<br />Laurie<br />Laurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-55391916301089233432013-08-19T04:29:34.805-07:002013-08-19T04:29:34.805-07:00I very often see people from Roman Catholic Church...I very often see people from Roman Catholic Church, especially elder people (but also people in my age, who attempt to universities). And I think, that most of them are people full of faith, but their faith and eagerness are badly used. Instead of Jesus they prefer rather the Pope or saints. I live in country where is a lot of this type idolatry, so the words of Paul about bad eagerness are very near to me. <br />For these people Gospel is "too simple", so they prefer their own unbiblical teachings. Sometimes Roman Catholic Church is their all culture, so that's why a lot of Polish Catholics are so closed for Gospel. <br />It was difficult to understant for me (my family is mostly atheist or protestant), but it is more clear for me now.<br />Thank You for this post. <br />Greetings for You, dear Laurie! Have a blessed week.

As you point out, the dispensations are different from the Gospels, and I believe that understanding both are necessary to "rightly divide" the word of truth. The present dispensation, or Church Age (Grace)I believe is the only one where the Gospel of Grace applies, as I plan to discuss further in subsequent posts.<br /><br />But as you say, faith is the common thread that allows salvation and reconciliation throughout history. Like you, I'm eagerly "looking up" for the Rapture, which, judging from current events, could be any day now!<br /><br />God bless,<br />Laurie <br />Laurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-47597981059821642032013-08-18T19:43:45.176-07:002013-08-18T19:43:45.176-07:00Amen, Ceil, His truth has set us free!

When I read your blog title: Three Tr...Dear Laurie,<br />When I read your blog title: Three True Gospels, I thought; ay-ay, what's this? What about the fourth?<br />Then you explained what I believe may be the three dispensational Gospels: Kingdom, Grace and Eternal. Although I'm familiar with the three terms, to honestly admit, I'm still somewhat confused about the differences between them, if such differences exist and how they apply to us.<br />I believe it was Schofield who coined up the term "Dispensation" and have divided human history into seven dispensations or time periods in the way God deals with mankind. Those periods are:<br />Innocence, Conscience, Human Government, Promise, The Law, Grace, and Kingdom - with each period ending with an important or prominent event: Fall, Flood, Tower of Babel, Call of Abraham, Exodus, Crucifixion and the Second Coming ushering the Kingdom, with this ending with the Last Judgement and the re-creation of the New Heaven and New Earth. Schofield also concluded over the Rapture and the seven year trib, with the reign of the Antichrist during the second half of this terrible period.<br />I don't doubt any of Schofield's conclusions, as I too am waiting for the Rapture, apparently the next event to occur on God's calender.<br />But one thing I have concluded from the entire Bible, and that salvation and reconcilation with God works through one agent only - faith - from the faith of Adam and Abel, right through to the faith of the Millennium saints at the end of human history.<br />An excellent article, Laurie. I am looking forward to read the coming series of blogs about God.<br />Sorry if this comment is so long.<br />God bless. <br />Frank E.

It appears there were those who were in the church but turning away from God.
