DISPENSATION OF GRACE
David Abankwah
READ: Romans 5
For the law was given through Moses, but GRACE AND TRUTH CAME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.
-John 1:17 | NKJV
The Dispensation of grace has come a long way. After the dispensations of ignorance, conscience, human government didn’t work, God had to step in the affairs of men. He first started with the dispensation of grace by picking Abraham. He placed in him the seed of grace that would soon come. As one man – Abraham of faith didn’t withhold his only begotten son he loved, so the God of faith also thought of sacrificing His only begotten Son some time to come. In fact, the blessing of God is not any material thing. When God told Abraham He would bless him, He was not referring to riches or wealth.
Anything man can provide is not a blessing. Anything physical is not a blessing. Anything artificial is not a blessing. Anything man can live without is not a blessing. Anything without eternal life is not a blessing. The real blessing of God is the Word of God or the Spirit of God. Before the Word of God, the Spirit of Christ, or the Grace of God could come on earth, the first person to have a taste of God’s grace was Noah. In Genesis 6:8, when men were living sinful lives, and were falling short of God’s glory, Noah found grace in the eyes of God. Why didn’t God see the others? God’s eyes can only behold righteous people and not evil men.
This means before you can have the Grace of God, unless you become a righteous person. Because no one can see God’s face and live, but yet He wanted to manifest Himself to men and live among us, the only way possible was through His Own Word – also known as the Son of God. The right hand of God is what saves or whom we know as Jesus (Yeshua – Yahweh saves) and Christ – the anointed one was the only route to the world because He is the way (John 14:6). God didn’t walk the earth with His face but with His right hand who saves (seen as flesh or called Son of man and left hand (Holy Spirit who gives gifts).
That was why the right hand or the grace of God always referred to the Father, because the real personality or the Godhead was in heaven. The real Jesus Christ was on the throne. The heaven is His throne and the earth is His footstool. He was reconciling us back to Himself through His right hand by preaching and teaching. He gave gifts with His left hand who is also called the Holy Spirit by feeding thousands, healing, and doing miracles. His grace: birth, ministry, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and second coming also known as the Gospel need to be believed for another dispensation of divine government to begin.

Lift up prayers for the understanding of the Godhead and the faith to believe in Him so His grace can be made perfect in your weakness in the name of Jesus Christ.
Quote
The mystery of Godliness is that, there is only One True God. His name is Jesus Christ.
