Wonder if when we gather at the staging area (clouds), if we will hear a closing of the door to the age of grace?! TR Slammed shut for sure! :yahoo: praying its soon for sure! :prayer-hands: Blessings in this life and the next for all those who love Christ and long for His appearing! Special blessings for all my favorites here at RITAN! TR Please forgive my nitpicking. I find the Age of Grace to be a misnomer. Even people in the Tribulation will be saved by grace. Grace =unmerited favour. Obviously, no one has ever deserved salvation so it has always been by grace throughout history. That's the way I see it. It is by grace alone (No one deserves salvation), through faith alone (no one can earn salvation), through Christ alone. (There is only one Saviour.) I prefer the Church Age. Perhaps I am picking nits? Feedback would be appreciated as I could be wrong here. Anyway, your point is interesting, though. Will we be staged in the clouds and hear something or will we be whisked straight to heaven? Paul was given the commission to go to the Gentiles to tell them the gospel of grace, and it was through faith that Jesus died, was buried and rose again the 3rd day according to the scriptures. Ephesians 2:8 KJVS Before this, it was a works based grace.
Personally, I’ll be like a kid in a candy shop with a look of amazement and awe, topped with a heavy dose of unparalleled excitement :yahoo:
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
