The BIG Picture (Shorts)

Between the Kingdom and Grace programs, provision works differently when you study and compare the two. In the Kingdom program the Lord told His disciples they can ask for anything (for ex: Matt7:7-8, Matt.18:19, Matt.21:22) and it will be given them. This is actually a command that will be more relevant in the Millennial Kingdom, when the law is written upon their hearts according to the New Covenant (Jer.31:31-34; Ezek.36:24-28). Nevertheless, even when Peter, and the other 11 prayed, their prayers were answered and the dead rose, the sick were healed, and necessities were provided.

COMMENT: I wonder how Christianity would look today if we based it on Jesus’ teachings in the synoptic gospels? ANSWER: How Christianity would look if we based it upon the synoptics is largely how it looks today. For 90% of the churches, 90% of the time, the message is from the Gospels. If teaching from the gospels was consistent, salvation would be based upon keeping the Mosaic Law, the two baptisms, and faith in Jesus as the Messiah. Jesus also declared if one did not forgive, He would not forgive. Preaching would also be entirely to Jews with only a few exceptions. The teachings from the gospels are DO and live. The teachings Paul received from the Lord are LIVE and do. Without Paul there is no grace gospel, no identification with Christ, no rapture, no church, the body of Christ, no salvation by faith alone, etc. ______________ Join my WhatsApp channel to receive these quick Bible lessons on your phone: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaGag8iJP212QPSMmx2W
