Secrets of Mind and Reality - MindReality.com

Grace is undeserved, unearned and unmerited favor. This is the definition of what grace is. If you attain something because you earned it by some means, then it isn’t grace but it is by works. Grace is an important and powerful factor in reality creation. With grace, good things can happen to you in unexpected ways. Grace enables you to experience positive outcomes even when the preceding events were negative or your original creative acts were negative. Grace changes the flow of events in your favor.

The Law of Grace states that any Divine Being can apply the Law of Mercy to grant a pardon to one who has made a mistake, so that the Karma may be set aside. But such an act of pardon is entirely at the discretion of the Divine Being and though individuals may request and seek or beg, they have no right to demand Grace, Mercy or Forgiveness when other karmic justice is their due. There are universal police forces that execute divine justice just like there are earthly police establishing law and order.

Grace and righteousness are the two keys to reigning in life. For if by one man’s (Adam) offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. To reign is to be king and to exercise kingly power. It is to possess or exercise sovereign power or authority. It is to rule; govern; direct; control; prevail. Being a powerful creator is all about ruling and being in control. Grace and righteousness gives you the power to reign.

A king makes things happen by speaking. Other people do the work. As a spiritual king, you have the power and authority to decree things to happen for you. Where the word of a king is there is power. You shall decree a thing and it shall be done. Action is still required but there would be a lot less action you need to take compared to others to achieve the same results. Your words have a lot more causative effect. The power and authority of being a king comes from your position in Christ and the promises from His Word. Know that you are a king and that the good things in life come to you not so much by self effort and action but mostly by knowing your position as a king and speaking.

Our right to rule comes from the gift of righteousness which was given to us by the Son of God through the divine exchange on the cross. Redemption is an exchange of karma between the Perfect Man and fallen humanity. We are no longer sinners but righteous before God through the righteousness of faith. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. The purpose of grace is to help us when we have need. Grace is very practical.

There is a way by which the experience of grace increases and multiplies. The Bible says that the law entered, that the offence might abound. God’s moral law was not given to make men holy, but to reveal men’s inadequacy for perfect living. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. It means at times when you feel you have done something wrong and expect negative karma to manifest, you can believe in the Law of Grace and you would experience positive instead of negative outcomes.

People of old times misunderstood this wonderful truth about grace when they heard it. They responded “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?” They think that the Law of Grace gives them the freedom to sin. But No, God forbid. The Law of Grace is not intended to give freedom to sin, but to give freedom to experience a positive reality without the consequences of negative karma. The Law of Grace is meant to allow life to overcome death rather than to live more deeply in it.

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. A person who is truly under grace would not want to commit evil just because they know the Law of Grace can enable them to exchange negative karma with positive one. A person who thinks that way is really under law because the Bible says that the strength of sin is the law. It is the law that says “Do Not” which creates an opposite reaction of “Do!” Grace does not create opposition, therefore grace empowers morality.

The Bible says that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. This means that believing that Jesus the Son of God is the Supreme Authority of the Universe is an act that is inspired by the Personal Aspect of God. We can know the Universal Aspect of God through science, metaphysics and philosophy. But knowing the Personal Aspect of God is an act of faith. Even Angels by faith decide who the Supreme Authority of Cosmic Consciousness is. Our faith in the Lord is by grace alone.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Therefore an enlightened believer in the Lord realizes that it is not how powerful his will is, how intelligent or how knowledgeable he is that enables him to believe in the Lord. Those qualities are helpful, but it is ultimately the grace of God that gives faith. We can have no faith in the Lord except that which is inspired by the Holy Spirit. Grace is the power behind the believer’s faith.

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. If anyone can believe in the Lord through their own act of will and intellect, then it wouldn’t be grace anymore, but it would be by works. If pure universal knowledge could enable one to know the supremacy of the Lord, then angels with full universal knowledge would not have fallen away from the Lord. You cannot work to know but you receive the faith.

Paul said “By the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” As Paul grew in the revelation of grace, he went from saying “I am the least of the apostles” to “I am the least of the saints” to “I am the chief of sinners.” The more Universal Knowledge we have, the harder it is to remain a Christian except by faith inspired by the Holy Spirit. We live under grace much more.
