    Not Only Grace

    (logically compiled and formatted by Bill Stevenson)

    Poem that Teaches

    (Author n!no"n)

    JUSTIFICATION frees from sin.

    SANCTIFICATION frees from the power of sin.GLORIFICATION frees from the presence of sin.

    JUSTIFICATION is for the repentant sinner.

    SANCTIFICATION is for the surrendered discipe.

    GLORIFICATION is for the !ictorious saint.

    JUSTIFICATION ta"es care of the past.

    SANCTIFICATION ta"es care of the present.

    GLORIFICATION ta"es care of the future.

    JUSTIFICATION chan#es the attitude.

    SANCTIFICATION chan#es the character.GLORIFICATION chan#es us from morta to immorta.

    In JUSTIFICATION$ Jesus is our Sa!ior.

    In SANCTIFICATION$ Jesus is our %aster.

    In GLORIFICATION$ Jesus is our #orious &in#.

    JUSTIFICATION is our tite to 'ea!en.

    SANCTIFICATION is our fitness for 'ea!en.

    GLORIFICATION is our entrance to 'ea!en.

    (((I am for Gods Graceonly in relation to Justification and Salvation. And I am for increasing Christ-

    like righteousnessand agap compassion for Sanctification. he latter is not automatic or completelydone !y the "oly Spirit as many Christian preachers teach. #id you kno$ that there are over %&&&

    commandments in the 'e$ estament( he "oly Spirit $ants to help us o!ey them. )e should desire

    such only !ecause $e love God the *ather+ Jesus Christ+ the "oly Spirit+ and the ,i!le more thananything of this $orld. omans %/%0 is for no$-- righteousness is re$arded !y divine peace and 1oy in

    the "oly Spirit2 the 3ingdom of God. And I am against legalism $hich is in most churches.

    If you disagree $ith any of the a!ove statements+ the follo$ing might change your mind.

    Introduction: *or this study+ I used only the 'e$ estament of the 3ing James 4ersion from http/55e-

    s$ord.net5do$nloads.html+ and I slightly moderni6ed the verses I used. I tried to put the

    verses in a logical order $ithin the key $ord su!groups. ry to determine $hy. he

    indentions are for good reasons too. Also+ this study is for females too+ I have inserted 7or

    she8+ 7or her8 and other female alternatives in the appropriate verses. Also+ the

    indenting and the !olding are for good reasons. So dont read this study 9uickly+ think for

    reasons. Ask yourself $hy I did certain indentations and !olding and ,i!le passage

    grouping5ordering.

    ***the most important example of obedience (even though He was perfectly righteous)
