Santiago, I know i'm saved by God's mercy and grace. Why do I know it? Hebrews 10: 5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; 6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. 7 Then I said, 'Here I am--it is written about me in the scroll-- I have come to do your will, O God.'" 8 First he said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them" (although the law required them to be made). 9 Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL. (caps. mine) 1 Cor. 12: 12 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. God's word says Jew or Greek we become ONE BODY!!!!! You cannot change this Word. As a "greek" how can I be sure? Romans 11: 11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. See that? We are not talking about two or three or a hundred different programs here. Just one....SALVATION. It is easy to see that as a "greek" , I have been blessed to be able to be "grafted " in and receive this grace and mercy to become part of the body. That brings up an interesting thought. If I am GRAFTED as the Word says, then I am GRAFTED not NEW SEED. not new program, not different deal, but GRAFTED IN . GRAFT:: To unite a scion (the detached, living portion of a plant which provides the leafy portion of a graft) with a stock (the part of the graft providing the roots). Olives were frequently caused to multiply by removing shoots from the base of a cultivated tree (compare Ps. 128:3) and grafting them onto the trunks of wild olive trees. Paul's illustration (Rom. 11:17-24) portrays the incomprehensible grace of God who does what no farmer would do--break off cultivated limbs (representing descendants of Israel) to graft in wild limbs (representing Gentile believers). The illustration also serves as a warning to believing Gentiles not to be proud and despise the contribution of Israelites who made their faith possible but to stand firm in faith. Grafted into what? The Grace of God. 2Timothy 2: 15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. dividing:: 3936. paristemi, par-is'-tay-mee; or prol. paristano, par-is-tan'-o; from G3844 and G2476; to stand beside, i.e. (trans.) to exhibit, proffer, (spec.) recommend, (fig.) substantiate; or (intrans.) to be at hand (or ready), aid:--assist, bring before, command, commend, give presently, present, prove, provide, shew, stand (before, by, here, up, with), yield. If we keep looking at the Word of God we will see only daylight. dan
