Today a person is saved by believing that Christ died for their sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures, 1 Corinthians 15:3, 41. God is offering salvation by grace, not works2. Grace is God’s attitude whereby He gives a benefit without the consideration of merit. In other words, you cannot earn salvation because God is not offering salvation based upon works, who you are, or even who you will become – no merit is considered3. What God requires for salvation is that you take Him at His Word. Faith is the undergirding4 of that which is hoped for, the evidence of accomplished deeds5 not seen and is always based upon a promise6. Direct faith at Christ through the facts of the good news by which we are saved (believing that He died for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day) and God has promised that you will be saved7. There is no other way to obtain salvation8. - [Dispensations](https://wordofgracestudies.org/about-word-of-grace-studies/dispensations/): Dispensation is not unique to Scripture. The concept of a steward running a household by the standards that the master sets are well recorded in human history, dating back thousands of centuries. Today we do not tend to use the word “dispensation”, rather, we express the same concept by “administration”. Scripture uses this well-known concept of a dispensations (administration) to reveal to us what God is doing and how to properly discern the standards God has set for the household we are in, which is the household of Grace. - [Good Reads](https://wordofgracestudies.org/good-reads/): Maturing in Christ focuses on Christian truth that relates to living a successful spiritual life. Before a Christian can realize a consistent victorious spiritual life some basic truths must be understood: the riches given by God at salvation to live Christ-like; who the spiritual enemies are and how they attack; and how to utilize divine enabling when resisting the enemies in order to live a successful Christian life. - [Definition of Sin](https://wordofgracestudies.org/definition-of-sin/): The definition of sin has become so elusive today that there are so-called “sins” in many churches that cannot be found in Scripture. How do you know what a sin is? True, we see very well-defined sins in Scripture, such as adultery, fornication, stealing, lying, murder, etc., but what about the things that are not revealed in Scripture? Is it a sin not to give ten percent of your wages to the Church? Is it a sin for a husband to ignore his wife? What about which movies you watch, what you wear, what friends you hang out with, going to a party…, how do we know if they are sins. - [Visit Us](https://wordofgracestudies.org/church-in-monroe/): Join us at Word of Grace Studies Church in Monroe, WA, for family-friendly Sunday services, weekday Bible studies, and live-streamed teaching sessions.

Since in the Greek language, case is governed by function, not by form, it is important to also look at other aspects of the sentence to determine which case the noun is being used in and then in what way that case is being expressed. Prepositions are also a very significant part of the sentence and often limit the nouns to a specific case because of the function of the preposition. When it comes to the blood of Christ there are many different views; however, the more predominate ones are whether it is figurative or literal. Did Jesus shed His blood on the cross for all mankind or is the blood only being used figuratively of the work of Christ on the cross? In order to understand if a concept is figurative or literal we need to understand how it is being used in the sentence and whether the function is restricted to either figurative or literal all the time. If it is not restricted to one concept or the other, we then need to look at the meaning of the case and the context to determine if it is figurative or literal in application.  As we study Scripture it becomes very clear that the blood of Christ is literal and was shed for the sins of mankind. We see this through the different cases and preposition that are used with the blood of Christ. Each case has its own sphere of understanding and expressed a completely different concept that often times must be taken literal in order to be understood. This is a more technical look at this subject because as we understand that underlying principles of the language and how they work, we can then base our understanding upon real facts; facts that are supported by the language and often clear up any misunderstanding in the application of the Word. - [Defense Against Satan: The Armor from God](https://wordofgracestudies.org/defense-against-satan/): The armor from God, our defense against Satan, is a mental process that we go through when under attack from Satan to protect our minds from his methods, by which he seeks to keep our minds from thinking on the things above and influence our actions. Independence from God, Disappointment, Discouragement, Bitterness, Doubt, Spiritual Cowardice, Lying, Pride, An unforgiving spirit, Stealing, Corrupt communication, Busybody, and Gossip are the methods Satan uses to ultimately ensnare a saint to do his desirous will rather than God's. - [Stewardship and Dispensations: The Significance of Οικονομός and Οικονομία](https://wordofgracestudies.org/stewardship-and-dispensations/): The Septuagint uses οικονομός fifteen times to translate the Hebrew word הַבָיִת-עַל, which has the same basic idea. In Genesis 15:2, Abraham had a steward named Eliezer, who would have inherited Abraham’s possessions if he had remained childless.  In Genesis, Joseph, the son of Israel (Jacob), whose brothers sold him as a slave, became the steward of the nation of Egypt. Before he became the steward of the nation of Egypt, he was placed over the house of the one who purchased him. As a steward, the entire household was put in his hands, in so much that the master did not even know what he had, only the food that he ate. When Joseph was placed over all of Egypt, he was given authority to rule the people, and only the Pharaoh himself was greater. Even during Jesus’ time upon the earth, stewards were still in use. Jesus uses an example based upon an unjust steward in Luke 16:1-9. “Now He was also saying to the disciples, there was a certain rich man who had a steward, and this steward was reported to him as squandering his possessions.  And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.” This steward was responsible for developing and protecting the rich man’s possessions. However, he was found to be wasting them and was therefore removed from his stewardship. Also, in the New Testament, Romans 16:23 informs us of Erastus, the steward of a city. Erastus would be the man who managed the affairs of the city. From these sections of Scripture, we can determine that the normal use of the words “dispensation” and “steward” refer to a household and the management of the house ( or city, providence), which requires a master of the house, a steward, and individuals who are a part of the house; however, we still need Scriptural support to divide the Scriptures up by dispensations. - [Future Events](https://wordofgracestudies.org/about-word-of-grace-studies/future-events/): Future Events - [Spirit Beings](https://wordofgracestudies.org/about-word-of-grace-studies/spirit-beings/): The highest order of the spirit beings.

Adam was created complete and in the likeness of God immediately without process. - [The Church](https://wordofgracestudies.org/about-word-of-grace-studies/the-church/): The Church is made up of those who are in the body of Christ1.
