IT IS A JOYFUL GRACE SAME * Jesus Christ the same forever *

the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. R13 

He has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and without blame [His Grace performs this] 
before him in love [to be made whole and holy by His Love (MT)]. E4

If your leaders don't appreciate the finished work of Grace,
please, don't encourage their rule over you by appreciating them !

"Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God.
Take a good look at the way they live,
and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness.
There should be a consistency that runs through us all.
For Jesus doesn't change—
yesterday, today, tomorrow, he's always totally himself.
Don't be lured away from him by the latest speculations about him.
The Grace of Christ is the only good ground for life." H13:7-9

Now, I never think of that short time period of Israel under the Law
as anywhere near indicative of Jehovah!
Israel left Moses to it saying "anything He wants we will do it!"
then went and worshiped a golden calf.
Jesus Christ "the same yesterday, today, forever"
means we have BEEN MADE righteous
by His Gracious Sacrifice on the Cross
so He can be in Love, be at Peace and be Overjoyed with us.
