Limitation of Grace And Mercy

21.07.2014 LISTEN
By Eze Uduma

Dear reader,

Grace and mercy of Elohim are some of the most mentioned attributes of the Lord by almost every human. Often, these attributes are incorrectly understood and applied. The incorrect application of grace and mercy often originates from human impression of a limitless grace and mercy. It is very interesting how high profile brethren including Robert Schuler and Billy Graham have perceived grace and mercy. Brothers Robert and Billy have and host large religious congregation.


Because of the influence and capacity of Brother Billy in the 21 century church, it should be of interest to anyone with genuine thirst for eternal life to not ignore this one minute video clip-

featuring Brothers Billy and Robert.

Many people including many brethren hold similar or same conclusion as does Billy in the video. It is also possible the position of most of these people is directly associated with the attributed spiritual reputation of especially Brother Billy; like typical idols, many may have been hooked into the concept that anything they say is sacrosanct.

Grace is the condition or fact of being favoured by someone; it is an unmerited favour of Yahweh. Mercy means magnanimity; mercy is compassion or clemency shown to me by you whereby you have the obligation, authority and capacity to dispense punishment and justice for my actions.

Whereas grace from Yahweh is obtained without mankind meriting it, both grace and mercy are not limitless. The limitation of grace of Elohim determines the wideness of mercy of Yahweh on humanity; it frightens when brethren make a sweeping assertion without linking it to a single scripture that validates such assertion.


We have to accept that Yeshua (Yahweh's one and only begotten son) is the grace (in fact the essence of grace) of Yahweh to mankind given the position of the scripture. Yahweh so much loved mankind that He gave His grace (Yeshua) as His choice path to save mankind from eternal humiliation and condemnation by giving mercy (forgiveness) to whoever accepts this favour-John 3:16.

Yeshua did not have to come and to be chastised and to be subjected to the type of humiliation and death He went through; Yeshua is the essential favour mankind does not merit. Yahweh owes mankind nothing and depends not on us-Matthew 3:9. We instead depend on Him for everything; instead of punishment He offered mankind a path for restoration. Yahweh saw it fit to show us His hands of magnanimity and love. But mankind must accept this essential grace for Yahweh's mercy to apply.

This is the opposite of the position of Robert Schuller, Billy Graham and many others in their corner. They are saying what the scripture is not saying. Only those who accept the grace of Yahweh and believe in His words shall be saved. Brother Billy and others are saying there are many ways to obtain salvation! Meaning: Yeshua is not the only way to salvation! They are saying Yeshua is not the Way, the Truth, and Life. Such teaching is unobtainable, false and harmful.

Grace and mercy will cease with humans some day. This will be the day when each of the over 7 billion inhabitants of earth ceases to live. The ceaselessness of grace and mercy of Yahweh is only justifiable in that Yahweh is ever willing to restore mankind whenever we show our willingness to access His grace and believe in His words. There is no grace and no mercy beyond the grave, a reason Abraham rejected the requests of the rich man-Luke 16:19-31.


By brother Billy's position, the 2014 world cup in Brazil would mean that Cameron, England, Italy which left early in the tournament, and in fact such countries as Iraq and India, which never showed up in Brazil would just proudly return to Rio to be rewarded with gold, the same medal that Germany received for being obedient to the end, by accepting and sticking to Yeshua and trusting in His words to the end.

The word of Yeshua is the authentic word of Yahweh. Whoever sees and knows Yeshua sees and knows Yahweh; No single human that disobeys Yahweh's words will enter into Yahweh's kingdom-Matthew 17:5; Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35. Yeshua and not any other idol or way or personality carries the government of Yahweh-Isaiah 9:6.

Take heed that no one deceives you-Matthew 24:4; Mark 13:5. The favour and mercy of the Lord last as long as we live on earth; His mercy accommodates only those willing to access His grace and stick to His grace in obedience to the end. Now is the day and time of grace and mercy. Pray also for the repentance of brethren who may have confined themselves into deceitful conclusion that Yeshua is not who He is.

To Yahweh be the glory.
