"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted,
and shall kill you; and ye shall be hated of all
nations for my name's sake. And then shall
many be offended, and shall betray one an-
other, and shall hate one another. And many
false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive
many. And because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall grow cold. But he that
shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
saved," Matthew 24:9-13

This is not about an individual Christian
enduring to the end and being saved. The
Gospel of the Grace of God is not something
to be endured; it's something to be rejoiced
in.

The message of righteousness without works
[a perfect standing before God] apart from any
obligation to the Law, is the message of the
Grace of God.

Even now, it is not understood , because what
we hear from many in the pulpits is not the
Gospel of the Grace of God.

The theme of the Book of Romans is chapter
4 verses 6 thru 8:
"Even as David also describeth the blessedness
of the man unto whom God imputeth righteous-
ness apart from works, Saying, Blessed are
they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose
sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom
the Lord will not impute sin,"

Paul wrote to the Galatians, "O foolish
Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that
ye should not obey the truth, before whose
eyes Jesus Christ hath been openly set
forth, crucified among you?,"
Galatians 3:1

That evidence set forth of the finished work
of Jesus on the cross was "the end of the law
for righteousness."

The New Testament teaches, "Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved"
Acts 16:31

"Christ is the end of the law for righteousness"
Romans 10:4

The Gospel is not entangled with the Law.

Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
". . . .Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures; And that he was buried, and that
he rose again the third day according to the
scriptures,"

the King, Jesus was crucified.

The announcement that "the kingdom of
heaven is at hand" wasn't preached in the

Grace of God.
