*GRACE

—This article is written to let you know, to let mankind know, that the Merciful God has grace for sinners. If God is only Righteous, then there would be no hope for mankind. Grace is unmerited favor of God to undeserved and unworthy sinners, that the salvation of God is a gift to all who repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior of the world.

*Our mission is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free. We do not want donation. We only want you to know the truth. 

This article is written to let you know, to let mankind know, that the Merciful God has grace for sinners. If God is only Righteous, then there would be no hope for mankind. Grace is unmerited favor of God to undeserved and unworthy sinners, that the salvation of God is a gift to all who repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior of the world.

Christianity is neither superstition nor science. Superstition is based on false and unfounded beliefs and fears. Science is limited by human and empirical and tentative knowledge at a time and place. Christianity is the Revealed religion. Only God makes revelation of the ultimate truth and wisdom. Revelation cannot be achieved by human discovery or wisdom. Christianity is the revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was God who became Man to reveal God and spiritual things to human beings.   The Word of God reveals that sinners do not deserve anything but death. Sinners need the grace of God. 

1.  God gives grace. 

Gen 6:8,“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” 

Note: Grace in Hebrew is chenwhich means unmerited favor, acceptance, good-will; – it occurs about 69 times in the Old Testament. Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord not because he deserved something, but because God did him a favor. The word “grace” occurs 170 times in the King James Version.  It is correct to understand grace as Divine favor. Man may do you a favor, only God gives grace.

Psa 84:11 ,“For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD gives grace and glory. No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” 

Note:  The Lord gives good things to His children. The Lord God is our Sun means God is our Light. The Lord God is our Shield mean God is our Protection. The Lord gives grace and glory, this is too wonderful to believe. The Lord gives grace means sinners may be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The Lord gives glory means the children of God who suffer for Christ and for the Gospel will glory with Jesus when He returns to judge the world and reign with the saints. For worldly people, good things mean material and earthly things. 

The Chinese call them:  荣华富贵glory, prosperity, wealth, dignity). The prevailing values of the West are money, power and sex. It is also called the American dream. Grace and glory are good things.  

Pro 18:22 ,  “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.” It is not difficult to find a wife, but a good wife is certainly a good thing. 

Luk 10:42 ,“But only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Man has a choice. Your choice will determine you destiny. Mary chose to listen to the Word of Christ which shall not be taken away from her. All earthly and material things will be taken away. Money, power and sex will pass away. It is wise to give up what is temporary to lay hold of what is eternal. 

Question:    What does the grace of God do? 

Eph 2:5 ,“Even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).” 

Note: Grace in Greek is  charis which means favor, God’s unmerited favor, loving-kindness, benefit, bounty; of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, hope, love, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues; God’s mercy bestowed upon unworthy sinner; – it occurs 156 times in the New Testament. All human beings are dead in sins spiritually. Men cannot save themselves. Sinners are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior. Some one was right, “The law condemns the best of us; but grace saves the worst of us.”

John Bunyan had well said, ” Grace can pardon our ungodliness and justify us with Christ’s righteousness; it can put the Spirit of Jesus Christ within us; it can help us when we are down; it can heal us when we are wounded; it can multiply pardons, as we through frailty multiply transgressions. 

The law condemns the best of us; but grace saves the worst of us. Joseph Prince

Rom 3:24 ,“They are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.” 

Note: Redemption in Greek is apolytrōsis  which means deliverance,  liberation procured by the payment of a ransom, a releasing effected by payment of ransom; – it occurs only 10 times in the New Testament. Redemption is deliverance effected through the death of Christ from the retributive wrath of the holy God and the penalty of sin. When redemption is applicable to you personally it becomes salvation. Salvation is a gift of God to mankind by grace, but it was paid by the redemption of Christ through sacrificing His life and shedding His precious blood on the cross. There is no such a thing called royal blood, all human blood is the same sinful blood. Only the blood of Jesus is precious because He is sinless and holy and His blood as a ransom for mankind was acceptable to God. 

Act 20:32 ,“And now I commend you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” 

Note: Build up in Greek is epoikodomeōwhich means to finish the structure of which the foundation has been laid; give constant increase in the knowledge and in a life conformed thereto; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament. To have fellowship with Christ and to feed on the Word of His grace is to grow in spiritual life. All who have been saved are sanctified by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit leads believers into all truth. 

Rom 12:6 ,“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith.” 

Note: Once a believer is saved and sanctified, he is equipped to serve the Lord. Christians serve the Lord according to the grace that is given and live for the Lord on earth. So Christians have the saving grace, the serving grace and the living grace. 

2.  Moses prayed for God’s grace to pardon Israelites. 

Exd 34:9 ,“Then he said: If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.” 

Note: Stiff-necked means stubborn and disobedient which characterizes humanity. Pardon in Hebrew is calach  which means to forgive, spare, show mercy; – it occurs about 46 times in the Old Testament. Iniquity in Hebrew is  `avonwhich means perversity,   depravity, guilt; – it occurs 230 times in the Old Testament. Sin in Hebrew is chatta’ath which means a misstep, slip with the foot, sinfulness, penalty of sin; – it occurs about 296 times in the Old Testament. There is nothing that man can do to redeem ourselves from our iniquity and our sin, the only thing we can do is to pray for God’s grace to pardon us. God’s pardon is not based on merit, but based on grace. Sinners obtain forgiveness of sins, not because they deserve anything, but because the grace of God was given to believers. 

Tts 2:11 , “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.” 

The salvation of God is for all men, no difference of race, gender, color or class; but only those who repent of their sins and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and  Savior will be saved. 

3.  God gives grace to the humble. 

Jam 4:6 ,“But He (God) gives more grace. Therefore He says: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 

Note: Grace in Greek is chariswhich means good will, loving-kindness, unmerited favor, the merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues; – it occurs about 156 times in the New Testament. Grace presents the favor, and goodness of God to man, and thus, of necessity, of the worthy to the unworthy, of the holy to the sinful. Grace signifies the entire and absolute freeness of the lovingkindness of God to men. Proud in Greek is hyperēphanos  which means showing one’s self above others, overtopping, conspicuous above others, pre-eminent; with an overweening estimate of one’s means or merits, despising others or even treating them with contempt; haughty; – it occurs only 5 times in the New Testament. The rich and powerful people are usually proud, but supremacists are the most arrogant. Resist in Greek is  antitassōwhich means to range in battle against, oppose; – it occurs only 5 times in the New Testament. God opposes the proud and arrogant people. Humble in Greek is  tapeinos which means not rising far from the ground, lowly, lowly in spirit; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament. This is truth of stark contrast: God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. White supremacists are probably the most arrogant and haughty people in the world. However, when black in power becomes rich, he could be worse than a white supremacist. 

1Pe 5:5 ,“Young men, in the same way be submissive to the elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 

Note: Clothes are something we wear in the outside. To clothe yourself with humility means to put on humility to show your subjection one to another. Humility is not what you say, it is what you show. 

Pro 3:34 ,“Surely He scorns the scornful, but gives grace to the humble.” 

Note: Scorn in Hebrew is luwts which means to mock, deride, scoff; – it occurs about 27 times in the Old Testament. God mocks at the mocker. God scorns the scorner. God derides the derider. 

1Cr 1:4 ,“I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus.” 

Note: Sinful men do not deserve the grace of God and have no access to the holy God. Jesus Christ reconciled sinners to God by His substitutionary death. So in fact the grace of God was given to believers by Christ Jesus. 

4.  Christ is full of grace and truth. 

Jhn 1:14 , “And the Word (Christ) became flesh, and lived among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” 

Note: The Old Testament stands for Law, only in the New Testament the grace of God makes it full. The word “grace” used in  Jhn 1:14  is the same original word used in  Jam 4:6 . The depth and the riches of meaning of grace which can be better understood in the view of the glory of the only begotten Son from the Father, became flesh and lived humbly among men. The manger, not palace, points to the grace of God.   Luk 2:15 , “So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another: Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 

The angel brought the good news of great joy to the poor shepherds, not king or queen, prime minister of president. The Gospel is preached to the poor because the rich and powerful are hard to enter the Kingdom of God.  The dual prominent attributes of Christ are grace and truth. Grace because the Savior is the gift of God to mankind, truth because Jesus Christ is the truth about God.  Just as God is full of compassion and mercy, so Christ is full of grace and truth. Christ is full of grace because He died for our sins. Christ is full of truth because He reveals God and all who come to Him will receive the eternal life. 

5.  Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ

Jhn 1:17 , “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” 

Note: Law in Greek is  nomos which means the rule of action approved by God, the Mosaic law, a command of God; – it occurs about 197 times in the New Testament. God gave the law to Moses for Jewish people. The law does not save anyone. The law tells you what sin is.  The Law does not save anyone.

Rom 3:20 , “Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” The knowledge of sin comes from the law.  Rom 7:7 , “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said: You shall not covet.”   

No one is saved by the law. Knowledge of sin does not save.  

Rom 7:14 , “For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.”  Rom 8:3-4“For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” 

Grace came by Jesus Christ means what sinful man cannot do required by the law, Jesus Christ came and died for the unrighteous to fulfill the righteous requirement of the law so that all who repent and believe in the Lord and Savior may receive forgiveness of sins and the eternal life. Truth came by Jesus Christ means sinners can be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ who is the truth of God. 

This is the most important message to you. You do not have to go to Hell for eternal sufferings.  You can be saved by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the Savior of the world, who died on the cross for sinners. By the power of God Jesus Christ rose from the dead and He is able to save all who come to Him. The salvation of God is free, it is the gift of God.

6.  The Gospel is the Word of God’s grace. 

Act 14:3 , “Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the Word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.” 

Note: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Word of God’s grace. The Word of God’s grace says salvation is a gift of God given freely to whoever repents and believes in Jesus Christ. 

7.  Believers are justified freely by God’s grace. 

Rom 3:24-26, “Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” 

Note: Justify in Greek is dikaioō  which means to render righteous,    declare, pronounce one to be just or righteous; count as righteous; – it occurs about 40 times in the New Testament. To be justified means to receive the gift of righteousness or to be counted as righteous. 

Grace is not based on work or merit, for it is free. Freely in Greek is dōreanwhich means undeservedly, for naught, for nothing, as a gift, gratuitously; – it occurs only 9 times in the New Testament. Although salvation is free, but Jesus Christ paid by His life and precious blood to redeem sinners. All religions teach that you are to be saved by your good deeds. The Gospel of God offers you salvation freely by grace without work or deed of merit. For grace is the free gift of God.  Rom 4:4 ,“Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as what is due.” 

8.  We are saved by grace. 

Act 15:11 , “But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they are also.” 

Eph 2:5 , “Even when we were dead in our sins, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).” 

Note: Dead in sins is spiritual death, although a person who is dead in sin may be talking and eating.

Tts 2:11 , “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.” 

Note: So do not believe John Calvin who was a false teacher who taught the salvation is for some. The Holy Scriptures say God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. All men who repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ can be saved. This is good news. Jesus guarantees anyone who comes to Him will not be rejected or kicked out.

Save in Greek is sōzō which means to rescue from danger or destruction, save from the punitive wrath of God at the judgment of the last day, make one a partaker of the salvation by Christ; – it occurs about 110 times in the New Testament. Salvation in Greek is sōtērios    which means passing from death into life; – it occurs only 5 times in the New Testament. Salvation has two phases: now and future. When you repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit enters into your heart and you are born again – that is the salvation of your soul which begins now.  

Jhn 5:24 , “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.”  To be saved is passing from death into life. 

Rom 8:23 , “Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.”  When Jesus Christ returns, your body shall be redeemed and transformed into a spiritual and glorious body – that is the future salvation.  No one can be saved by work or merit because man’s work is not good enough in the sight of God. What man cannot do, the grace of God brings salvation. Therefore, whoever believes in Jesus Christ shall be saved by grace. 

9.  We are saved by grace through faith. 

Eph 2:8 , “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” 

Note: Gift in Greek is dōronnwhich means a present, what God offers which is free; – it occurs about 19 times in the New Testament.   Salvation is the gift of God. The gift of God is by grace. No one can earn or merit salvation. The only way of salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The way of salvation is the way of God. 

Question: What does this salvation entail? 

2Th 2:16 , “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal consolation and good hope through grace.” 

Note: Consolation in Greek is  paraklēsis which means comfort, solace, the Messianic salvation; – it occurs about 29 times in the New Testament. The saved souls have eternal consolation because God’s salvation is eternal. 

Tts 3:7, “So that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” 

Note: Heir in Greek is klēronomoswhich means one who receives an inheritance, one who receives his allotted possession by right of sonship; – it occurs about 15 times in the New Testament. Christians, as exalted by faith to the dignity of the sons of God, and hence receive the blessings of God’s kingdom.   Jhn 1:12 ,“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” The right to become children of God is infinitely better than human rights, civil rights, legal rights, political rights, etc. 

In the early Church there was a great debate at Antioch as to what Gentile non-Jewish Christians should do because some false teachers came down from Judea and taught Gentile Christians must be circumcised according to the custom of Moses or they would not be saved. Paul and Barnabas went up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders concerning this issue. A sect of the Pharisees said it was necessary to circumcise them and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses. The apostles and the elders came together to look into this matter. The first council in Jerusalem took place to settle the matter. Peter stood up and said,  Act 15:10-11, “Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.” 

Note: There is no distinction as to how a Jewish or Gentile believer is saved. We are all saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.  

Eph 2:8 , “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” However, there is a distinction as to how a Jewish Christian or a Gentile Christian should conduct himself. 

James said,  

Act 15:19– 20,“Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles, but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.” 

The apostles and the brethren who were elders sent a letter to Gentile Christians saying,  

Act 15:25-29, “It seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will also report the same things by word of mouth.  For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials: that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell.” At that time, the Apostles and Elders proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus Christ by word of mouth. The New Testament was not written yet. The Apostles made it clear Gentile Christians do not need to be circumcised or keep the Sabbath. The ceremonial Law of Moses was no longer required, but the moral law as repeated in the New Testament remains. However, the essentials for all believers whether Jewish or Gentile to observe are to  abstain from: 

1.   eating things sacrificed to idols and worshiping of idols 

2.   eating blood 

3.   eating meat of strangled animals 

4.   fornication 

Christians must be free from eating blood, free from eating food sacrificed to idols and worship of idols, free from eating food from strangled animals, and free from committing sexual immorality (including homosexuality and divorce). In other words, Christians are forbidden to eat blood, food sacrificed to idols or worship of idols, food from strangled animals, and fornication. Chinese Christians must pay particular attention because the Chinese custom of eating blood, worshiping ancestors and idols, and eating food sacrificed to idols. The Taiwanese politicians who claim to be Christians had publicly committed idolatry by worshiping idols, I do not know whether they have stopped doing it or not. No one has the right to claim to be a Christian and worship idols at the same time just like no woman has the right to marry two men at the same time. Worshiping idols is a great sin against the living God. The Taiwanese politicians must come clean: if you claim to be a Christian, you cannot worship idols. If you want to worship idols, then do not claim to be a Christian. That is fair. That is religious freedom. There is no hangky-pangky in being a Christian. 

 10.  Grace provides access to God. 

Rom 5:2 , “Through Him (Christ) we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” 

Note: Access in Greek is prosagōgē  which means approach,  that relationship with God whereby we are acceptable to Him and have assurance that He is favorably disposed towards us; – it occurs only 3 times in the New Testament. Because of this grace we have access to God anytime and anywhere. We do not need to go to a church to have access to God. In Jesus name we may boldly come to God’s throne of mercy to obtain help. All man-made religions have designated places their followers can pray to their gods. Christians have access to God anywhere and anytime. 

11.  The dispensation of grace. 

Eph 3:2-7,“If indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the Gospel, of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.” 

Note: Dispensation in Greek is oikonomia which means the management, oversight, administration; stewardship; God’s providing for man’s salvation; – it occurs only 7 times in the New Testament.  Roughly speaking, there are two dispensations: law (represented by the Old Testament – Moses) and grace (represented by the New Testament – Jesus). We now live in the dispensation of the grace of God. This is the good news that whoever repents and believes in Jesus Christ may obtain forgiveness of sins and receive the eternal life. Revelation in Greek is apokalypsis  which means a disclosure of truth, instruction; laying bare of things unknown before; unveiling, uncovering; – it occurs about 18 times in the New Testament. The mystery of God is revealed by the Spirit in Christ, to know Jesus Christ is to know God. The mystery of the Gospel of grace is revealed, not only to Jews, but Gentiles also; everyone no matter what race or class may inherit the Kingdom of God through faith in Jesus Christ. What man cannot do regarding the requirements of the law, Jesus Christ has fulfilled them and grants the righteousness of God to believers. A believer is counted as righteous because of the righteousness of Christ, that is the meaning of grace. Now is the dispensation of grace whereby you may repent and believe and be saved.

12.  Christians are under grace. 

Rom 6:14, “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” 

Note: Have dominion over in Greek iskyrieuō which means to be lord of, to rule, exercise influence upon, have power over; – it occurs only 7 times in the New Testament. Under in Greek is hypo which means to be subject to the power of; – it occurs about 230 times in the New Testament. Christians are under grace because they are under Christ, under the power of Christ. 

13.  The Word of His grace builds up believers. 

Act 20:32, “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” 

Note: Build up in Greek is epoikodomeō which means to finish the structure of which the foundation has been laid, give constant increase in Christian knowledge and in a life conformed thereto; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament.  The Word of God’s grace is able to build up believers, not by the teaching of anyone or any institution or any church. The Christian life is built on the Word of God. To build on the Word of God is to build upon the Rock. To build on the teachings or traditions of men is to build on the sand. The Word of God is truth. The Word of God sanctifies believers. The ideologies and strange doctrines of men lead people astray. 

14.  Believers are to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord. 

2Pe 3:18, “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” 

Note: Grow in Greek is auxanō which means to increase, become greater; – it occurs 22 times in the New Testament. Grace means the favor of God or of Christ, to which all blessings especially spiritual are due. To grow in grace and knowledge implies a progressive process. A babe in Christ needs to feed on the milk of God’s Word in order to grow. 

Hbr 5:13 , “For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the Word of righteousness, for he is a babe.” 

Note: A babe in Christ is unskilled in the Word of righteousness. The skills needed in the world may enable you to earn a living, but to be skilled in the Word of righteousness has earthly and heavenly benefits. 

1Pe 2:2 , “As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby.” 

1Cr 3:2-3, “I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?” 

Note: A carnal believer is a babe. Envy, strife, and divisions are manifestations of the carnal. Denominations are divisions. There are many divisions among believers because they are carnal. 

15.  The grace of God was upon Him. 

Luk 2:40 , “And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.” 

Note: Grow in Greek is auxanō  which means to increase development of infant, augment, become greater to attainment; – it occurs about 22 times in the New Testament. Spirit in Greek is pneuma which means    the rational spirit, the power by which the human being feels, thinks, decides; – it occurs about 385 times in the New Testament. 

To become strong in spirit is to have pleasant personality and strong character. The spirit is the highest and noblest part of man.  This Scripture provides the model of child development. A child needs to grow physically, spiritually, morally and intellectually, and socially. You can see clearly if a child has the grace of God upon him or her. There is nothing more heartbreaking than to watch a stupid child in temper tantrum. Due to one-child policy in China, there are so many stupid and permissive parents who are bringing up spoiled children. There are also oppressive parents in many societies. Good parents are neither permissive nor oppressive. A tiger mother is just as bad as an indulgent mother, one drives her children mad, the other leads her children to the path of destruction. Tiger mother and indulgent mother are extremely unfit mothers, which neither is good or desirable. They are harmful and not helpful to normal child development. 

16.  Believers are to continue in the grace of God

Act 13:43 , “Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.” 

Note: Continue in Greek is epimenō which means to stay at or with, tarry still, still to abide, remain, persevere; – it occurs about 18 times in the New Testament. To be a disciple of Christ is not for a period of time, it is a continuing life-time process of growing in the grace of God until Jesus Christ returns. 

Hbr 13:9, “Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.” 

Note: Establish in Greek is bebaioō which means to make firm,    confirm, make sure; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament. To be established with grace is to be made steadfast and constant in soul by the grace of God. There are many strange doctrines as there are infinite numbers of crooked ways. One strange doctrine, for example, is the belief that all religions lead to God, for that reason the Christian faith and practice must be made to accommodate other faiths or religions. This is a big lie. Truth is exclusive of all lies and falsehoods. It is a good thing that the heart is established with grace. A heart established with grace is rooted in the Word of God, the hope in Christ as an anchor of the soul, and will not be carried about with diverse and strange doctrines. 

17.  Sing with grace. 

Col 3:16 , “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” 

Note: If you have the Word of Christ dwells in you richly, naturally you will sing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Take heed, some new songs used in some Taiwanese churches or denominations are not spiritual songs. They were secular songs inspired by Hollywood. 

18.  Speak with grace. 

Col 4:6 , “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.” 

Note: Grace of speech means speech that brings joy, pleasure, delight, kindness, sweetness, charm, and loveliness. To speak with grace is how we ought to answer every man. The rich and powerful usually speak roughly and rudely because they think they have money and power. Supremacists are the most arrogant people who always talk big and threaten other nations. There is an interesting historical example that teaches the consequence of a wrong answer. Rehoboam was a stupid son of Solomon. The whole assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam asking to lighten their burden and yoke. Rehoboam rejected the advice which the elders had given him and spoke to the people roughly.  

1Ki 12:14 ,“And he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying: My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!” Rehoboam even boasted, “My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s waist!” The leader that does not listen to the people, events will turn against them. There is no good outcome for any dictator.  1Ki 12:18 ,“Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was in charge of the revenue; but all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem.” Every dictator will have to flee. The Egyptian dictator also fled. 

19.  Have grace to serve God. 

Heb 12:28  “Wherefore we receiving a Kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” 

Note: As believers are saved by grace (saving grace), so Christians have grace to serve God (serving grace). To live in this world of sin and sorrow, Christians also need living grace. You must have the saving grace before you can have the serving grace. How to serve God? 

Hbr 9:14 , “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” 

Note: Those have the grace of God whose conscience has been cleansed by the blood of Christ. Those whose conscience has been cleansed by the blood of Christ are fit to serve the living God.  To serve God is not easy, it needs the grace and gift of God.

20.  Believers have gifts differing according to the grace given. 

Rom 12:6 , “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith.” 

Note: Gift in Greek is charisma which means extraordinary powers, the reception of which is due to the power of divine grace operating by the Holy Spirit; – it occurs about 17 times in the New Testament. The word charisma is often abused and misused by members of the Pentecostal churches. The charismatic church misinterprets the gifts of divine grace. Speaking in tongues does not signify the fullness of the Holy Spirit or a sanctified status in Christ. 

There is saving grace whereby we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ. There is living grace whereby we live for Christ in this ungodly world. There is serving grace whereby we serve and suffer for the Lord on earth. 

21.  Believers are to testify the Gospel of the grace of God. 

Act 20:24 ,“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the Gospel of the grace of God.” 

Note: Paul did not count his life dear because the ministry he received of the Lord Jesus was dearer to him. He wanted to finish his course with joy because what he testified was the Gospel of the grace of God. 

Act 4:33 , “And with great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.” 

Note: Great grace upon the servants of Christ and believers so that they may testify for the risen Christ.  If Christians do not testify the Gospel of the grace of God, the stones might cry out.

22.  A minister is made according to the gift of the grace of God. 

Eph 3:7,  “Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of His power.” 

Note: There are people who think that they have gone through theological education, obtaining a Th.D., ordained by so-and-so denomination, appointed to be a minister of a certain church, and so they are qualified to be a minister of Jesus Christ. Many have become pastors or preachers as an occupation. Some have become infamous for using the Gospel as a means to get rich as preachers of prosperity gospel do. Not many are made ministers according to the gift of the grace of God. Most ministers are made by men or organizations. True ministers are made by God according to the gift of the grace of God. I have met thousands of ministers, few have the gift of the grace of God. Many have the gift of disgrace. 

23.  Come to the throne of grace. 

Hbr 4:16 , “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” 

Note: Come in Greek isproserchomai which means to approach, draw near to; – it occurs about 86 times in the New Testament. We draw near to God in order to seek His grace and favor. Mercy in Greek is  eleos which means kindness of God towards men, goodness of God in general providence, the mercy and clemency of God in providing and offering to men salvation by Christ; – it occurs about 28 times in the New Testament. Man-made religions have designated places for worship. Christians may come to the throne of grace anytime and anywhere. Come to the throne of grace means to pray to God for help in time of need. The line of God is open all the time without interruption or interference. 

There are many times of need, natural and man-made disasters abound. This is the promise of God to His children, come boldly to the throne of grace, obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. You can pray for everything, God will not be offended.  For an old man the worst thing could happen in America is to be old, poor, sick and alone. This is the meaning of desperation.  The propaganda that the U.S. has the best social benefits is false.  The U.S. spends trillions in wars and weapons, but you have the right to be unemployed, discriminated, defrauded, blackmailed, threatened, robbed, raped and even murdered alone. To be desperate in America is more desperate than anywhere else.  

Call upon the Lord no matter where you are and how desperate you are. The Lord has saved me from many desperate situations. 

24.  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient. 

2Cr 12:9 , “And He (Christ) said to me (Paul): My grace is sufficient for you: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 

Note: Sufficient in Greek is  arkeō  which means to be possessed of unfailing strength, to be enough, to suffice; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament. The grace of Christ is sufficient to enable believers to bear the evil of this life manfully. Whatever situation a Christian may encounter, the grace of Christ is sufficient to bear and endure. 

25.  The grace of God lasts for eternity. 

Eph 2:7 , “That in the ages to come He (God) might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” 

Note: In the ages to come in Greek is aiōn  which means eternity, for ever, perpetuity of time, the endless future; – it occurs about 128 times in the New Testament. Eternity is time without end. 

There is no reason why God has to show unworthy mankind His grace and kindness. The only reason is the fact that God sent His son to die for sinners out of His love. For eternity God will show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward His children through Jesus Christ. Heaven is such a place with such a condition. 

Do you want to receive the grace of God now?

PEOPLE should ask, why most of the criminals and crooks at the national capital are blacks? HEAR YE, HEAR YE, AMERICANS. America needs a new beginning. I am to propose moving the national capital to Lincoln, Nebraska.

Lincoln is the greatest American president, greater than Washington.  The special interest is concretely and concentrically established in Washington, D.C.

The White House, Supreme Court, etc. can be sold to luxurious hotels. American government must be freed from all encumbrances, monopolies, lobbies, and special interests once and for all.  Washington can be a regular city of Maryland, most likely a tourist city because the Monuments and Smithsonian Institutions shall be kept. The city can charge admission to all Smithsonian Institutions. There shall be a national referendum to decide the moving of the national capital to Lincoln, Nebraska. Congressmen and Senators shall decide whether to move the Capitol or not. The political names of D.C. and Capitol shall be dropped. All unnecessary government employees shall be dismissed and useless departments and agencies shall be discarded.

They were not “immigration raids” in Los Angeles, they were and they are ”unlawful migration raids.” You see there are evil forces conspiring to destroy America from within. Some are flying Mexican flags. It may be good idea not to imprison protesters but deport them to Mexico! California governor and Los Angeles mayor are on the wrong side of history. I have lived through two most horrible Los Angeles black riots. Unlawful migrants are not immigrants. It is mentally retarded who cannot distinguish between an immigrant and unlawful migrant. Children born to illegal aliens although in America are not American citizens. Latino, Mexican, Black illegal aliens must be deported without further delay. Protesters and labor unions are not patriotic Americans. Enforecement of the law is neither repression nor authoritarianism. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, do not deserve any humanitarian aid. The only right is to deport 45 million illegal aliens already in America right away.  To hire or hide illegal aliens are felony. Most of them are on welfare; their names and addresses can be checked on the Welfare Department.

It is sheer stupidity to give debt relief to Africa whereas its leaders are con men who live in luxury; and its people are lazy, eat and drink beer, sing and dance, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support.

There is no hope for the world because what should be done is not done:

1.For all war crimes and terrorist acts, Putin failed to annihilate Ukraine and execute its nincompoop and left Ukraine desolate and never be rebuilt. NATO & EU should be aslo abolished.

2.The chiefs of UN & WHO and all high-paid officials must be replaced, be reformed in a year.

3.Terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis must be destroyed FOR GOOD.

4.The nuclear facilities of Iran must be demolished for good. Do not give a breathing space. Aim at total annihilation so that Iran cannot retaliate OR rebuild.

5.Palestinians must be evacuated from Jewish lands and resettle in Arab lands to build a Palestinian state and make living on their own.

6. Undeveloped nations and peoples who do nothing to help themselves must be left to gut and rot.

7.The USA must give up its empire, world domination.

World media portrays Palestinians as victims in struggle. The world believes in a lie! The truth is the fact Palestinians were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into Palestine without pay during the British colonial rule. They bred like rabbits and occupied the Jewish lands. The Palestinian authority is not a state, and misleads the Palestinians to a path of destruction. Palestinians are irrational, bad, irresponsible, unmotivated and useless people. They would rather be classified as refugees so that they can get everything free through international aid, they would not go to Arab lands to build its own Palestinian state and make a life of their own.

Any country who shares destiny with corrupt countries will certainly come to RUIN!!!

Christianity is neither superstition nor science. Superstition is based on false and unfounded beliefs and fears. Science is limited by human and empirical and tentative knowledge at a time and place. Christianity is the Revealed religion. Only God makes revelation of the ultimate truth and wisdom. Revelation cannot be achieved by human discovery or wisdom. Christianity is the revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was God who became Man to reveal God and spiritual things to human beings.   The Word of God reveals that sinners do not deserve anything but death. Sinners need the grace of God. 

1.  God gives grace. 

Gen 6:8,“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” 

Note: Grace in Hebrew is chenwhich means unmerited favor, acceptance, good-will; – it occurs about 69 times in the Old Testament. Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord not because he deserved something, but because God did him a favor. The word “grace” occurs 170 times in the King James Version.  It is correct to understand grace as Divine favor. Man may do you a favor, only God gives grace.

Psa 84:11 ,“For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD gives grace and glory. No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” 

Note:  The Lord gives good things to His children. The Lord God is our Sun means God is our Light. The Lord God is our Shield mean God is our Protection. The Lord gives grace and glory, this is too wonderful to believe. The Lord gives grace means sinners may be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The Lord gives glory means the children of God who suffer for Christ and for the Gospel will glory with Jesus when He returns to judge the world and reign with the saints. For worldly people, good things mean material and earthly things. 

The Chinese call them:  荣华富贵glory, prosperity, wealth, dignity). The prevailing values of the West are money, power and sex. It is also called the American dream. Grace and glory are good things.  

Pro 18:22 ,  “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.” It is not difficult to find a wife, but a good wife is certainly a good thing. 

Luk 10:42 ,“But only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Man has a choice. Your choice will determine you destiny. Mary chose to listen to the Word of Christ which shall not be taken away from her. All earthly and material things will be taken away. Money, power and sex will pass away. It is wise to give up what is temporary to lay hold of what is eternal. 

Question:    What does the grace of God do? 

Eph 2:5 ,“Even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).” 

Note: Grace in Greek is  charis which means favor, God’s unmerited favor, loving-kindness, benefit, bounty; of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, hope, love, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues; God’s mercy bestowed upon unworthy sinner; – it occurs 156 times in the New Testament. All human beings are dead in sins spiritually. Men cannot save themselves. Sinners are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior. Some one was right, “The law condemns the best of us; but grace saves the worst of us.”

John Bunyan had well said, ” Grace can pardon our ungodliness and justify us with Christ’s righteousness; it can put the Spirit of Jesus Christ within us; it can help us when we are down; it can heal us when we are wounded; it can multiply pardons, as we through frailty multiply transgressions. 

The law condemns the best of us; but grace saves the worst of us. Joseph Prince

Rom 3:24 ,“They are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.” 

Note: Redemption in Greek is apolytrōsis  which means deliverance,  liberation procured by the payment of a ransom, a releasing effected by payment of ransom; – it occurs only 10 times in the New Testament. Redemption is deliverance effected through the death of Christ from the retributive wrath of the holy God and the penalty of sin. When redemption is applicable to you personally it becomes salvation. Salvation is a gift of God to mankind by grace, but it was paid by the redemption of Christ through sacrificing His life and shedding His precious blood on the cross. There is no such a thing called royal blood, all human blood is the same sinful blood. Only the blood of Jesus is precious because He is sinless and holy and His blood as a ransom for mankind was acceptable to God. 

Act 20:32 ,“And now I commend you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” 

Note: Build up in Greek is epoikodomeōwhich means to finish the structure of which the foundation has been laid; give constant increase in the knowledge and in a life conformed thereto; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament. To have fellowship with Christ and to feed on the Word of His grace is to grow in spiritual life. All who have been saved are sanctified by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit leads believers into all truth. 

Rom 12:6 ,“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith.” 

Note: Once a believer is saved and sanctified, he is equipped to serve the Lord. Christians serve the Lord according to the grace that is given and live for the Lord on earth. So Christians have the saving grace, the serving grace and the living grace. 

2.  Moses prayed for God’s grace to pardon Israelites. 

Exd 34:9 ,“Then he said: If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.” 

Note: Stiff-necked means stubborn and disobedient which characterizes humanity. Pardon in Hebrew is calach  which means to forgive, spare, show mercy; – it occurs about 46 times in the Old Testament. Iniquity in Hebrew is  `avonwhich means perversity,   depravity, guilt; – it occurs 230 times in the Old Testament. Sin in Hebrew is chatta’ath which means a misstep, slip with the foot, sinfulness, penalty of sin; – it occurs about 296 times in the Old Testament. There is nothing that man can do to redeem ourselves from our iniquity and our sin, the only thing we can do is to pray for God’s grace to pardon us. God’s pardon is not based on merit, but based on grace. Sinners obtain forgiveness of sins, not because they deserve anything, but because the grace of God was given to believers. 

Tts 2:11 , “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.” 

The salvation of God is for all men, no difference of race, gender, color or class; but only those who repent of their sins and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and  Savior will be saved. 

3.  God gives grace to the humble. 

Jam 4:6 ,“But He (God) gives more grace. Therefore He says: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 

Note: Grace in Greek is chariswhich means good will, loving-kindness, unmerited favor, the merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues; – it occurs about 156 times in the New Testament. Grace presents the favor, and goodness of God to man, and thus, of necessity, of the worthy to the unworthy, of the holy to the sinful. Grace signifies the entire and absolute freeness of the lovingkindness of God to men. Proud in Greek is hyperēphanos  which means showing one’s self above others, overtopping, conspicuous above others, pre-eminent; with an overweening estimate of one’s means or merits, despising others or even treating them with contempt; haughty; – it occurs only 5 times in the New Testament. The rich and powerful people are usually proud, but supremacists are the most arrogant. Resist in Greek is  antitassōwhich means to range in battle against, oppose; – it occurs only 5 times in the New Testament. God opposes the proud and arrogant people. Humble in Greek is  tapeinos which means not rising far from the ground, lowly, lowly in spirit; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament. This is truth of stark contrast: God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. White supremacists are probably the most arrogant and haughty people in the world. However, when black in power becomes rich, he could be worse than a white supremacist. 

1Pe 5:5 ,“Young men, in the same way be submissive to the elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 

Note: Clothes are something we wear in the outside. To clothe yourself with humility means to put on humility to show your subjection one to another. Humility is not what you say, it is what you show. 

Pro 3:34 ,“Surely He scorns the scornful, but gives grace to the humble.” 

Note: Scorn in Hebrew is luwts which means to mock, deride, scoff; – it occurs about 27 times in the Old Testament. God mocks at the mocker. God scorns the scorner. God derides the derider. 

1Cr 1:4 ,“I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus.” 

Note: Sinful men do not deserve the grace of God and have no access to the holy God. Jesus Christ reconciled sinners to God by His substitutionary death. So in fact the grace of God was given to believers by Christ Jesus. 

4.  Christ is full of grace and truth. 

Jhn 1:14 , “And the Word (Christ) became flesh, and lived among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” 

Note: The Old Testament stands for Law, only in the New Testament the grace of God makes it full. The word “grace” used in  Jhn 1:14  is the same original word used in  Jam 4:6 . The depth and the riches of meaning of grace which can be better understood in the view of the glory of the only begotten Son from the Father, became flesh and lived humbly among men. The manger, not palace, points to the grace of God.   Luk 2:15 , “So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another: Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 

The angel brought the good news of great joy to the poor shepherds, not king or queen, prime minister of president. The Gospel is preached to the poor because the rich and powerful are hard to enter the Kingdom of God.  The dual prominent attributes of Christ are grace and truth. Grace because the Savior is the gift of God to mankind, truth because Jesus Christ is the truth about God.  Just as God is full of compassion and mercy, so Christ is full of grace and truth. Christ is full of grace because He died for our sins. Christ is full of truth because He reveals God and all who come to Him will receive the eternal life. 

5.  Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ

Jhn 1:17 , “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” 

Note: Law in Greek is  nomos which means the rule of action approved by God, the Mosaic law, a command of God; – it occurs about 197 times in the New Testament. God gave the law to Moses for Jewish people. The law does not save anyone. The law tells you what sin is.  The Law does not save anyone.

Rom 3:20 , “Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” The knowledge of sin comes from the law.  Rom 7:7 , “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said: You shall not covet.”   

No one is saved by the law. Knowledge of sin does not save.  

Rom 7:14 , “For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.”  Rom 8:3-4“For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” 

Grace came by Jesus Christ means what sinful man cannot do required by the law, Jesus Christ came and died for the unrighteous to fulfill the righteous requirement of the law so that all who repent and believe in the Lord and Savior may receive forgiveness of sins and the eternal life. Truth came by Jesus Christ means sinners can be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ who is the truth of God. 

This is the most important message to you. You do not have to go to Hell for eternal sufferings.  You can be saved by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the Savior of the world, who died on the cross for sinners. By the power of God Jesus Christ rose from the dead and He is able to save all who come to Him. The salvation of God is free, it is the gift of God.

6.  The Gospel is the Word of God’s grace. 

Act 14:3 , “Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the Word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.” 

Note: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Word of God’s grace. The Word of God’s grace says salvation is a gift of God given freely to whoever repents and believes in Jesus Christ. 

7.  Believers are justified freely by God’s grace. 

Rom 3:24-26, “Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” 

Note: Justify in Greek is dikaioō  which means to render righteous,    declare, pronounce one to be just or righteous; count as righteous; – it occurs about 40 times in the New Testament. To be justified means to receive the gift of righteousness or to be counted as righteous. 

Grace is not based on work or merit, for it is free. Freely in Greek is dōreanwhich means undeservedly, for naught, for nothing, as a gift, gratuitously; – it occurs only 9 times in the New Testament. Although salvation is free, but Jesus Christ paid by His life and precious blood to redeem sinners. All religions teach that you are to be saved by your good deeds. The Gospel of God offers you salvation freely by grace without work or deed of merit. For grace is the free gift of God.  Rom 4:4 ,“Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as what is due.” 

8.  We are saved by grace. 

Act 15:11 , “But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they are also.” 

Eph 2:5 , “Even when we were dead in our sins, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).” 

Note: Dead in sins is spiritual death, although a person who is dead in sin may be talking and eating.

Tts 2:11 , “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.” 

Note: So do not believe John Calvin who was a false teacher who taught the salvation is for some. The Holy Scriptures say God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. All men who repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ can be saved. This is good news. Jesus guarantees anyone who comes to Him will not be rejected or kicked out.

Save in Greek is sōzō which means to rescue from danger or destruction, save from the punitive wrath of God at the judgment of the last day, make one a partaker of the salvation by Christ; – it occurs about 110 times in the New Testament. Salvation in Greek is sōtērios    which means passing from death into life; – it occurs only 5 times in the New Testament. Salvation has two phases: now and future. When you repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit enters into your heart and you are born again – that is the salvation of your soul which begins now.  

Jhn 5:24 , “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.”  To be saved is passing from death into life. 

Rom 8:23 , “Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.”  When Jesus Christ returns, your body shall be redeemed and transformed into a spiritual and glorious body – that is the future salvation.  No one can be saved by work or merit because man’s work is not good enough in the sight of God. What man cannot do, the grace of God brings salvation. Therefore, whoever believes in Jesus Christ shall be saved by grace. 

9.  We are saved by grace through faith. 

Eph 2:8 , “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” 

Note: Gift in Greek is dōronnwhich means a present, what God offers which is free; – it occurs about 19 times in the New Testament.   Salvation is the gift of God. The gift of God is by grace. No one can earn or merit salvation. The only way of salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The way of salvation is the way of God. 

Question: What does this salvation entail? 

2Th 2:16 , “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal consolation and good hope through grace.” 

Note: Consolation in Greek is  paraklēsis which means comfort, solace, the Messianic salvation; – it occurs about 29 times in the New Testament. The saved souls have eternal consolation because God’s salvation is eternal. 

Tts 3:7, “So that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” 

Note: Heir in Greek is klēronomoswhich means one who receives an inheritance, one who receives his allotted possession by right of sonship; – it occurs about 15 times in the New Testament. Christians, as exalted by faith to the dignity of the sons of God, and hence receive the blessings of God’s kingdom.   Jhn 1:12 ,“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” The right to become children of God is infinitely better than human rights, civil rights, legal rights, political rights, etc. 

In the early Church there was a great debate at Antioch as to what Gentile non-Jewish Christians should do because some false teachers came down from Judea and taught Gentile Christians must be circumcised according to the custom of Moses or they would not be saved. Paul and Barnabas went up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders concerning this issue. A sect of the Pharisees said it was necessary to circumcise them and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses. The apostles and the elders came together to look into this matter. The first council in Jerusalem took place to settle the matter. Peter stood up and said,  Act 15:10-11, “Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.” 

Note: There is no distinction as to how a Jewish or Gentile believer is saved. We are all saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.  

Eph 2:8 , “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” However, there is a distinction as to how a Jewish Christian or a Gentile Christian should conduct himself. 

James said,  

Act 15:19– 20,“Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles, but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.” 

The apostles and the brethren who were elders sent a letter to Gentile Christians saying,  

Act 15:25-29, “It seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will also report the same things by word of mouth.  For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials: that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell.” At that time, the Apostles and Elders proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus Christ by word of mouth. The New Testament was not written yet. The Apostles made it clear Gentile Christians do not need to be circumcised or keep the Sabbath. The ceremonial Law of Moses was no longer required, but the moral law as repeated in the New Testament remains. However, the essentials for all believers whether Jewish or Gentile to observe are to  abstain from: 

1.   eating things sacrificed to idols and worshiping of idols 

2.   eating blood 

3.   eating meat of strangled animals 

4.   fornication 

Christians must be free from eating blood, free from eating food sacrificed to idols and worship of idols, free from eating food from strangled animals, and free from committing sexual immorality (including homosexuality and divorce). In other words, Christians are forbidden to eat blood, food sacrificed to idols or worship of idols, food from strangled animals, and fornication. Chinese Christians must pay particular attention because the Chinese custom of eating blood, worshiping ancestors and idols, and eating food sacrificed to idols. The Taiwanese politicians who claim to be Christians had publicly committed idolatry by worshiping idols, I do not know whether they have stopped doing it or not. No one has the right to claim to be a Christian and worship idols at the same time just like no woman has the right to marry two men at the same time. Worshiping idols is a great sin against the living God. The Taiwanese politicians must come clean: if you claim to be a Christian, you cannot worship idols. If you want to worship idols, then do not claim to be a Christian. That is fair. That is religious freedom. There is no hangky-pangky in being a Christian. 

 10.  Grace provides access to God. 

Rom 5:2 , “Through Him (Christ) we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” 

Note: Access in Greek is prosagōgē  which means approach,  that relationship with God whereby we are acceptable to Him and have assurance that He is favorably disposed towards us; – it occurs only 3 times in the New Testament. Because of this grace we have access to God anytime and anywhere. We do not need to go to a church to have access to God. In Jesus name we may boldly come to God’s throne of mercy to obtain help. All man-made religions have designated places their followers can pray to their gods. Christians have access to God anywhere and anytime. 

11.  The dispensation of grace. 

Eph 3:2-7,“If indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the Gospel, of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.” 

Note: Dispensation in Greek is oikonomia which means the management, oversight, administration; stewardship; God’s providing for man’s salvation; – it occurs only 7 times in the New Testament.  Roughly speaking, there are two dispensations: law (represented by the Old Testament – Moses) and grace (represented by the New Testament – Jesus). We now live in the dispensation of the grace of God. This is the good news that whoever repents and believes in Jesus Christ may obtain forgiveness of sins and receive the eternal life. Revelation in Greek is apokalypsis  which means a disclosure of truth, instruction; laying bare of things unknown before; unveiling, uncovering; – it occurs about 18 times in the New Testament. The mystery of God is revealed by the Spirit in Christ, to know Jesus Christ is to know God. The mystery of the Gospel of grace is revealed, not only to Jews, but Gentiles also; everyone no matter what race or class may inherit the Kingdom of God through faith in Jesus Christ. What man cannot do regarding the requirements of the law, Jesus Christ has fulfilled them and grants the righteousness of God to believers. A believer is counted as righteous because of the righteousness of Christ, that is the meaning of grace. Now is the dispensation of grace whereby you may repent and believe and be saved.

12.  Christians are under grace. 

Rom 6:14, “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” 

Note: Have dominion over in Greek iskyrieuō which means to be lord of, to rule, exercise influence upon, have power over; – it occurs only 7 times in the New Testament. Under in Greek is hypo which means to be subject to the power of; – it occurs about 230 times in the New Testament. Christians are under grace because they are under Christ, under the power of Christ. 

13.  The Word of His grace builds up believers. 

Act 20:32, “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” 

Note: Build up in Greek is epoikodomeō which means to finish the structure of which the foundation has been laid, give constant increase in Christian knowledge and in a life conformed thereto; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament.  The Word of God’s grace is able to build up believers, not by the teaching of anyone or any institution or any church. The Christian life is built on the Word of God. To build on the Word of God is to build upon the Rock. To build on the teachings or traditions of men is to build on the sand. The Word of God is truth. The Word of God sanctifies believers. The ideologies and strange doctrines of men lead people astray. 

14.  Believers are to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord. 

2Pe 3:18, “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” 

Note: Grow in Greek is auxanō which means to increase, become greater; – it occurs 22 times in the New Testament. Grace means the favor of God or of Christ, to which all blessings especially spiritual are due. To grow in grace and knowledge implies a progressive process. A babe in Christ needs to feed on the milk of God’s Word in order to grow. 

Hbr 5:13 , “For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the Word of righteousness, for he is a babe.” 

Note: A babe in Christ is unskilled in the Word of righteousness. The skills needed in the world may enable you to earn a living, but to be skilled in the Word of righteousness has earthly and heavenly benefits. 

1Pe 2:2 , “As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby.” 

1Cr 3:2-3, “I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?” 

Note: A carnal believer is a babe. Envy, strife, and divisions are manifestations of the carnal. Denominations are divisions. There are many divisions among believers because they are carnal. 

15.  The grace of God was upon Him. 

Luk 2:40 , “And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.” 

Note: Grow in Greek is auxanō  which means to increase development of infant, augment, become greater to attainment; – it occurs about 22 times in the New Testament. Spirit in Greek is pneuma which means    the rational spirit, the power by which the human being feels, thinks, decides; – it occurs about 385 times in the New Testament. 

To become strong in spirit is to have pleasant personality and strong character. The spirit is the highest and noblest part of man.  This Scripture provides the model of child development. A child needs to grow physically, spiritually, morally and intellectually, and socially. You can see clearly if a child has the grace of God upon him or her. There is nothing more heartbreaking than to watch a stupid child in temper tantrum. Due to one-child policy in China, there are so many stupid and permissive parents who are bringing up spoiled children. There are also oppressive parents in many societies. Good parents are neither permissive nor oppressive. A tiger mother is just as bad as an indulgent mother, one drives her children mad, the other leads her children to the path of destruction. Tiger mother and indulgent mother are extremely unfit mothers, which neither is good or desirable. They are harmful and not helpful to normal child development. 

16.  Believers are to continue in the grace of God

Act 13:43 , “Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.” 

Note: Continue in Greek is epimenō which means to stay at or with, tarry still, still to abide, remain, persevere; – it occurs about 18 times in the New Testament. To be a disciple of Christ is not for a period of time, it is a continuing life-time process of growing in the grace of God until Jesus Christ returns. 

Hbr 13:9, “Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.” 

Note: Establish in Greek is bebaioō which means to make firm,    confirm, make sure; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament. To be established with grace is to be made steadfast and constant in soul by the grace of God. There are many strange doctrines as there are infinite numbers of crooked ways. One strange doctrine, for example, is the belief that all religions lead to God, for that reason the Christian faith and practice must be made to accommodate other faiths or religions. This is a big lie. Truth is exclusive of all lies and falsehoods. It is a good thing that the heart is established with grace. A heart established with grace is rooted in the Word of God, the hope in Christ as an anchor of the soul, and will not be carried about with diverse and strange doctrines. 

17.  Sing with grace. 

Col 3:16 , “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” 

Note: If you have the Word of Christ dwells in you richly, naturally you will sing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Take heed, some new songs used in some Taiwanese churches or denominations are not spiritual songs. They were secular songs inspired by Hollywood. 

18.  Speak with grace. 

Col 4:6 , “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.” 

Note: Grace of speech means speech that brings joy, pleasure, delight, kindness, sweetness, charm, and loveliness. To speak with grace is how we ought to answer every man. The rich and powerful usually speak roughly and rudely because they think they have money and power. Supremacists are the most arrogant people who always talk big and threaten other nations. There is an interesting historical example that teaches the consequence of a wrong answer. Rehoboam was a stupid son of Solomon. The whole assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam asking to lighten their burden and yoke. Rehoboam rejected the advice which the elders had given him and spoke to the people roughly.  

1Ki 12:14 ,“And he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying: My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!” Rehoboam even boasted, “My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s waist!” The leader that does not listen to the people, events will turn against them. There is no good outcome for any dictator.  1Ki 12:18 ,“Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was in charge of the revenue; but all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem.” Every dictator will have to flee. The Egyptian dictator also fled. 

19.  Have grace to serve God. 

Heb 12:28  “Wherefore we receiving a Kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” 

Note: As believers are saved by grace (saving grace), so Christians have grace to serve God (serving grace). To live in this world of sin and sorrow, Christians also need living grace. You must have the saving grace before you can have the serving grace. How to serve God? 

Hbr 9:14 , “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” 

Note: Those have the grace of God whose conscience has been cleansed by the blood of Christ. Those whose conscience has been cleansed by the blood of Christ are fit to serve the living God.  To serve God is not easy, it needs the grace and gift of God.

20.  Believers have gifts differing according to the grace given. 

Rom 12:6 , “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith.” 

Note: Gift in Greek is charisma which means extraordinary powers, the reception of which is due to the power of divine grace operating by the Holy Spirit; – it occurs about 17 times in the New Testament. The word charisma is often abused and misused by members of the Pentecostal churches. The charismatic church misinterprets the gifts of divine grace. Speaking in tongues does not signify the fullness of the Holy Spirit or a sanctified status in Christ. 

There is saving grace whereby we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ. There is living grace whereby we live for Christ in this ungodly world. There is serving grace whereby we serve and suffer for the Lord on earth. 

21.  Believers are to testify the Gospel of the grace of God. 

Act 20:24 ,“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the Gospel of the grace of God.” 

Note: Paul did not count his life dear because the ministry he received of the Lord Jesus was dearer to him. He wanted to finish his course with joy because what he testified was the Gospel of the grace of God. 

Act 4:33 , “And with great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.” 

Note: Great grace upon the servants of Christ and believers so that they may testify for the risen Christ.  If Christians do not testify the Gospel of the grace of God, the stones might cry out.

22.  A minister is made according to the gift of the grace of God. 

Eph 3:7,  “Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of His power.” 

Note: There are people who think that they have gone through theological education, obtaining a Th.D., ordained by so-and-so denomination, appointed to be a minister of a certain church, and so they are qualified to be a minister of Jesus Christ. Many have become pastors or preachers as an occupation. Some have become infamous for using the Gospel as a means to get rich as preachers of prosperity gospel do. Not many are made ministers according to the gift of the grace of God. Most ministers are made by men or organizations. True ministers are made by God according to the gift of the grace of God. I have met thousands of ministers, few have the gift of the grace of God. Many have the gift of disgrace. 

23.  Come to the throne of grace. 

Hbr 4:16 , “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” 

Note: Come in Greek isproserchomai which means to approach, draw near to; – it occurs about 86 times in the New Testament. We draw near to God in order to seek His grace and favor. Mercy in Greek is  eleos which means kindness of God towards men, goodness of God in general providence, the mercy and clemency of God in providing and offering to men salvation by Christ; – it occurs about 28 times in the New Testament. Man-made religions have designated places for worship. Christians may come to the throne of grace anytime and anywhere. Come to the throne of grace means to pray to God for help in time of need. The line of God is open all the time without interruption or interference. 

There are many times of need, natural and man-made disasters abound. This is the promise of God to His children, come boldly to the throne of grace, obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. You can pray for everything, God will not be offended.  For an old man the worst thing could happen in America is to be old, poor, sick and alone. This is the meaning of desperation.  The propaganda that the U.S. has the best social benefits is false.  The U.S. spends trillions in wars and weapons, but you have the right to be unemployed, discriminated, defrauded, blackmailed, threatened, robbed, raped and even murdered alone. To be desperate in America is more desperate than anywhere else.  

Call upon the Lord no matter where you are and how desperate you are. The Lord has saved me from many desperate situations. 

24.  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient. 

2Cr 12:9 , “And He (Christ) said to me (Paul): My grace is sufficient for you: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 

Note: Sufficient in Greek is  arkeō  which means to be possessed of unfailing strength, to be enough, to suffice; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament. The grace of Christ is sufficient to enable believers to bear the evil of this life manfully. Whatever situation a Christian may encounter, the grace of Christ is sufficient to bear and endure. 

25.  The grace of God lasts for eternity. 

Eph 2:7 , “That in the ages to come He (God) might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” 

Note: In the ages to come in Greek is aiōn  which means eternity, for ever, perpetuity of time, the endless future; – it occurs about 128 times in the New Testament. Eternity is time without end. 

There is no reason why God has to show unworthy mankind His grace and kindness. The only reason is the fact that God sent His son to die for sinners out of His love. For eternity God will show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward His children through Jesus Christ. Heaven is such a place with such a condition. 

Do you want to receive the grace of God now?

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025

China has aided more than 100 nations, none of them has done China any good.

Some countries laudicrously believe because they uphold the principle One China, they think they have done China a favor. Because China founded BRICKS, BELT & ROAD, SCO, etc. so China is obliged to do and finance for every project.

EUROPEAN and other Nations that foolishly recognize statehood of Palestine should take Palestinians in and give them aid of all kinds free. What is the use of recognizing the state of Palestine when Palestine does not have territory or sovereignty?

Ukraine nincompoop wants to use USA to fight against Russia. US must ditch Ukraine, EU and abolish NATO. EU alliance has proven meaningless. America must not guarantee security of any nation. International community, knowingly or unknowingly, is greatly mistaken. Gaza does not belong to Palestinians. Gaza belongs to Israeli. Palestinians are originally Arabs who invaded Palestine under British colonial rule. It is good and right for Palestinians to relocate permanently in lands of Arabs to establish a Palestinian State of their own.

Hamas who killed hostages must be killed. Hamas who mistreated hostages must be punished.

Palestinians do not have homeland. Gaza, West Bank, Golan Heights, etc. belong to the Jews. It is good and right that Palestinians be resettled permanently in any Arab land to build a Palestinian State of their own. This is the true “two-state” solution.

Palestinians must be evacuated from the Jewish lands and resettle permanently in Arab lands to build their own Palestinian state.  Hamas, Hezbollah and  Houthis are terrorists to be destroyed completely. That is the only way to peace.

The world intentionally believes in a lie. Palestinians are originally Arabs who surreptitiously moved to Israel without pay under the British colony called Palestine. Arabs bred like rabbits and called themselves Palestinians. It is most reasonable for Arabs to move to lands of Arabs. For Palestinians do not have claim or resettlement right in the Jewish land of Gaza, West Bank, etc. No one would object for Palestinians to build a Palestinian state  in lands of Arabs, but Palestinians cannot build a Palestinian state in the Jewish land. Palestinians prefer to be called refugees in order to receive international aid every thing for free. Palestinians must move out or be removed from the Jewish land. TERRORISTS HAMAS, Hezbollah and Houthis MUST be destroyed completely.

Some fools believe and practice martial arts, boxing, violence, sports such as foot ball to save impoverished and backward nations. The truth is only hard work, being good farmers, herdsmen, fishermen, teachnicians, repairmen, engineers can save poor, undeveloped and backward nations.

There has been undeclared war in the southern border between Mexico and America, which has been neglected by previous American administrations. Mexico flagrantly serves as the open conduit for illegal migrants to enter California and crossing the river to enter Texas. The US must bomb Mexico City to warn them there can not be business as usual; in particular Mexico rejected American airplanes which carried deported illegal migrants to land. America must use its powerful military and National Guards to patrol the borders 24 hours. Fire and shoot at unlawful migrants who climb the wall; who try to destroy the wall; who do graffiti on the wall; who congregate within 100 feet of the wall; who cross the river; who cut the wire to deter the invasion. America declares to REJECT all asylum applicants for 100 years. No humanitarian aid shall be given to any unlawful migrants. In addition to American troops, state National guards must also be used to end the unlawful migrants invasion of America. They are despicable and deplorable peoples who fail in their countries and dream of entering America to live happily and doing nothing on welfare.  Immigration Officers must raid Los Angeles, East Los Angeles, San Bernardino,  Santa Ana, San Diego, Miami, etc. — dens of illegal aliens; the Welfare Department has their names and addressees.

Palestinians are also useless, shameless and worthless peoples to loot and rob international aid trucks. They are violent and unproductive. Leaders and politicians of Palestinian Authority lead them to the path of destruction by illegally occupying the Jewish lands. They do not want to go to the Arab lands to build their Palestinian state. They rather stay in Jewish lands in order to receive aid for nothing. No aid should enter to help Palestinians.

Hamas should be held responsible for killing hostages and be punished. The UN chief, Arab, Islamic, Black, EU nations speak and support terrorists should be gone. All UN high-paid officials should be replaced; and UN to be reformed in 100 days. It is a false peace. Gaza, West Bank, Golan Heights, Rafah, etc. are Jewish lands.  UN, WHO, Arab-Muslim-Black nations and Palestinian Authority speaks and supports terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis without making any demand. Palestinians do not have homeland in Jewish lands. They must evacuate from Jewish lands and go to lands of Arab to build a Palestinian state.  That would be true peace but they do not want peace.

China generously aided more than 100 nations, while their politicians and leaders practice corruption and looting of national treasures, their unproductive people sing and dance, drink alcohol and produce many children they cannot support.

CHINA is the most unusual nation on earth. The craftsmen or artisans of Tang, Sung, Yuan, Ming, Qing dynasties created untold and immense treasures for China.  Western nations like Britain, US, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Japan (8-nation alliance) attacked, burned, robbed and stole and looted China national treasures at market value of more than US$100,000 trillion dollars. It is better to return them to China now, not wait until China makes demands by military force. Shame on Western nations who claim or pretend to be Christian. For the last 500 years, the manifest evils of the West are imperialism, colonialism and capitalism.

Today Chinese rescue workers respond to any natural disaster, the speed and service they built tents and houses unmatched by any nation. The American homeless people would rejoice just to have the Chinese tents. China must not waste its resources on the lazy people and unproductive peoples who eat and get fat, drink alcohol, sing and dance, have sex and produce many unwanted children they cannot support; like to play, enjoy games and sports but dislike hard work and discipline; cannot even produce food and basic necessities.

Xizang earthquake demonstrates what the Chinese government cares and does for its people. What does the U.S. government do for Californians in Los Angeles wildfires? The world must know the truth.

Japan intends to swallow up the United States Steel in order to control the American economy. This should be an eye-opener to the U.S. government that Japan is not a genuine ally. The US government made a  big mistake in rearming Japan. Singapore and Malaysia are wise to establish a special economic zone. Many underdeveloped nations fool China in holding one-China policy. By doing so they think they deserve China’s economic and financial aid. India has conflict of interest in Bricks, it is better to withdraw and  Indonesia is wise to join Bricks.

Leaders and politicians of Palestinians are evil and guilty because they lead Palestinians to the path of death and destruction through illegal occupation of the Jewish land and support of the terrorists. They give false hope to Palestinians in so-called “two-state solutions”. Palestinians are Arabs, no one would object to Palestinians building a Palestinian state in an Arab land. When Palestinians want to build a Palestinian state in the Jewish land, that is the cause of conflict. Palestinians speak and support terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis. Palestine leaders and politicians should evacuate all Palestinians from the land of the Jews and go to Arab lands to build a Palestinian state. That would be peace.

The Internet is a cesspool of corruption, fraud and iniquity. No nation polices and punishes their wrongdoings. Money making individuals and institutions would invade your computer to push their products even rejected. Many famous American universities and institutions are selling their fraudulent products for incurable problems. Many individuals and institutions claim to be Christian and shamelessly and aggressively ask for donations. Many sell famous works in public domain through subscriptions and purchases. Many distort and pervert the Word of God but ask for donations.

Any nation which restricts, bans, or interferes with China’s activities is illegal and unlawful. China can do anything within its sovereignty that does not violate the international law.

To appease the fury and wrath of South Koreans, the impeached Yoon and all those who blocked his arrest shall be executed once and for all.  Maybe Yoon should experience the 4-horse treatment. South Korea is the nation the world should not be: all incompetent, chaotic and useless.

Henceforth beginning 2025 all undeveloped nations must work, discipline and be responsible to produce their own food and other necessities; all international aid will be terminated beginning November 2025. Undeveloped nations cannot do as usual in dancing, singing, drinking and sporting, have sex and produce many unwanted children they cannot support. They must work hard to support and save themselves. Based on the Biblical principle, 2Th 3:10, “For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.

According to https://rankchart.org/site/williewongthought.hpage.com/

“In accordance with Web of Trust williewongthought.hpage.com is a suspicious domain.”

According to https://www.pcmag.com/news/web-of-trust-browser-extension-cannot-be-trusted.”

How can we be suspicious since we never ask for money, we only tell the truth absolutely free.

China has aided more than 100 nations costing hundreds of $ billions. Tell the truth, which nation has expressed act of gratitude? Won’t it better to spend on internal improvement or buying gold?

THE WEST (US, BRITAIN, CANADA, EU) BEING EVIL AND FOUND GUILTY OF SANCTIONING CHINA ALL BECAUSE THEY COVET XINJIANG AND XICHANG AND HONG KONG, USE TAIWAN AND SOUTH CHINA SEA TO ATTACK CHINA’S SOVEREIGNTY.

On the one hand, some White experts pretend to make good suggestions to improve China economy; they may fool many Chinese, I can see malice, envy and ill will through their awkward faces. On the other hand, Black leaders and politicians play coy and con China to support their development for nothing. China needs to stop all foreign aid for two reasons: China needs to pay down deficits and debts. China must not be fooled and must use its hard-earned meager resources wisely to do the following strategic projects:

  1.  China should have unswerving commitment only to itself. China should not waste money on useless and unworthy undeveloped countries. Not one nation is grateful. Deficits and debts are bad. China cannot save the world, China must save itself.

2 Make deserts green and reduce sand storms.

3.  Repair the Great Walls. Build sea walls around Hainan Island, Shanghai, etc. to prevent climate change that sea water will rise.

4.  Promote night markets in big cities and promote domestic travel to expand the economy. Deficits and debts are bad; fiscal surplus is good.

5.  Execute crooks and criminals who defraud through Telecom and Internet of more than ONE million yuan. IT is not known who polices the rampant international crooks and criminals who defraud the public by famous American universities and institutions who sell high-priced fake drugs such as to cure knee pain and prevent knee surgery and ear ringing, etc.  Sweep clean fraudulent commercials on TV and the Internet.

6.  Execute crooks and criminals who defraud in foreign nations and do not bring them home. Faces and names of deceivers must be published on TV to shame them and their families.

7.  Increase and strengthen the development and deployment of nuclear weapons for self-defence.

8.  Streamline and reduce national and local government debts and deficits.

9.  Train 5 million doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professors and MANAGERS, machinists in the next 5 years.

10.  Assist the poor Chinese in the rural areas first.

11.  Improve mechanized agriculture, and upgrade technology in every field.

12.  Streamline management of central and local governments.

13.  Enforce laws to reduce the number of criminal individuals and organizations in many areas.

14.  Execute crooks and criminals who create rumors and conduct espionage that harm national security.

15.  Reorganize personnel of CGTN and restructure its programs.

16.  Protect the environment and punish severely individuals and organizations who dump industrial waste and toxic materials on lands, soils, water ways, lakes and rivers, and seas.

17.  Remove all fraudulent commercials and fake advertisements from TV and Internet and punish the culprits severely. Violent gaming produces violent culture. Violent culture destroys any nation.

18.  Make it easy for Overseas Chinese to come to China and make their investments.

19.  Reward universities that earn and win NOBEL prizes.

20.  Conduct ditching and dredging of lakes and rivers to prevent flooding before extreme weather.

21.  Innovate and increase therapeutic and pharmaceutical capabilities to produce various vaccines and preventive medicines.

22.  Regulate foreign hospitals and clinics in China to prohibit monopoly and prevent high costs of healthcare.

23.  Bargain down whole sale price with foreign drug companies to import effective foreign drugs to benefit Chinese consumers.

24.  Subsidize elderly apartment renting by 30%, if elderly live with their children, their monthly mortgage will reduce also by 30%.

25.  Severely punish companies that manufacture fake or low quality products.

26.  The world must condemn the phony currency called Bitcoin and China should not fall into the financial trap.

27.  Execute individuals and organizations that rob ancient cemeteries or tombs to sell precious national treasures.

28. Regulate foreign hospitals and clinics in China to prohibit monopoly and prevent high costs of healthcare.

29. Bargain down whole sale price with foreign drug companies to import effective foreign drugs to benefit Chinese consumers.

30. The world must condemn the phony currency called Bitcoin and China should not fall into the financial trap.

31. Mandate providing access to elderly and invalid wheelchairs.

32.  Execute individuals and organizations that rob ancient cemeteries or tombs to sell precious national treasures.

33.  Prohibit anyone to smoke on TV or in movies. Reduce individual gun violence except in war movies.

34.  Execute Hong Kong residents who commit treason or to be exiled permanently. Hong Kong is fortunate to have food, fuel and water, etc. provided by Mainland China. Hong Kong should start de-Biritishization by changing all English street names, for example Victoria Peak should be replaced by Deng Xiaoping Peak.

35.  No one speaks Portuguese except Portugal and Brazil. Macao should not hamstring its residents, but replace Portuguese with the English language the sooner the better.

36.  Increase, innovate, and modernize public and private toilet facilities.

37.  Punish severely those who violate smoking and drinking on buildings, trains, ferries, and airplanes; the third violation deserves to be executed.

38.  China needs to make Christmas a national holiday to facilitate the big Christmas business in China.

39.  Execute leading organized criminals, attack every form of terror, and destroy vigorous lawlessness.

40.  Penalize severely those who have licenses but do not know how to drive or violate traffic rules and regulations on purpose.

41.  To deter and  destroy corruption, China needs to execute any officer who commits corruption of more than CNY one million.

42.  Execute anyone who counterfeits money and seize all his/her assets.

43.  Rebuild the Old Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan Park ( 圆明园) which was burned down and destroyed by aggressive and intrusive 8-nation-troops; and DEMAND them reparations now through diplomacy or later by military force.

44.  Use force to liberate Taiwan and execute traitorous leaders of the People’s Progressive Party (民進黨) publicly.

How to solve global hunger and poverty? There are nations and peoples who deserve to suffer hunger and poverty. For example, Palestinians do not want to go to lands of Arab to build a Palestinian state of their own. They would rather be in the Jewish land and label as refugees so that they can receive international aid for free. There are undeveloped nations and peoples whose leaders and politicians are corrupt, and the peoples are lazy and unproductive; they eat and get fat, sing and dance, drink beer and have sex, produce many children they cannot support. They like the way of life so that they can beg and receive aid freely. These nations will remain poor and suffer  hunger in worse situation a hundred years from now!

PEOPLE should ask, why most of the criminals and crooks at the national capital are blacks? HEAR YE, HEAR YE, AMERICANS. America needs a new beginning. I am to propose moving the national capital to Lincoln, Nebraska.

Lincoln is the greatest American president, greater than Washington.  The special interest is concretely and concentrically established in Washington, D.C.

The White House, Supreme Court, etc. can be sold to luxurious hotels. American government must be freed from all encumbrances, monopolies, lobbies, and special interests once and for all.  Washington can be a regular city of Maryland, most likely a tourist city because the Monuments and Smithsonian Institutions shall be kept. The city can charge admission to all Smithsonian Institutions. There shall be a national referendum to decide the moving of the national capital to Lincoln, Nebraska. Congressmen and Senators shall decide whether to move the Capitol or not. The political names of D.C. and Capitol shall be dropped. All unnecessary government employees shall be dismissed and useless departments and agencies shall be discarded.

They were not “immigration raids” in Los Angeles, they were and they are ”unlawful migration raids.” You see there are evil forces conspiring to destroy America from within. Some are flying Mexican flags. It may be good idea not to imprison protesters but deport them to Mexico! California governor and Los Angeles mayor are on the wrong side of history. I have lived through two most horrible Los Angeles black riots. Unlawful migrants are not immigrants. It is mentally retarded who cannot distinguish between an immigrant and unlawful migrant. Children born to illegal aliens although in America are not American citizens. Latino, Mexican, Black illegal aliens must be deported without further delay. Protesters and labor unions are not patriotic Americans. Enforecement of the law is neither repression nor authoritarianism. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, do not deserve any humanitarian aid. The only right is to deport 45 million illegal aliens already in America right away.  To hire or hide illegal aliens are felony. Most of them are on welfare; their names and addresses can be checked on the Welfare Department.

It is sheer stupidity to give debt relief to Africa whereas its leaders are con men who live in luxury; and its people are lazy, eat and drink beer, sing and dance, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support.

There is no hope for the world because what should be done is not done:

1.For all war crimes and terrorist acts, Putin failed to annihilate Ukraine and execute its nincompoop and left Ukraine desolate and never be rebuilt. NATO & EU should be aslo abolished.

2.The chiefs of UN & WHO and all high-paid officials must be replaced, be reformed in a year.

3.Terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis must be destroyed FOR GOOD.

4.The nuclear facilities of Iran must be demolished for good. Do not give a breathing space. Aim at total annihilation so that Iran cannot retaliate OR rebuild.

5.Palestinians must be evacuated from Jewish lands and resettle in Arab lands to build a Palestinian state and make living on their own.

6. Undeveloped nations and peoples who do nothing to help themselves must be left to gut and rot.

7.The USA must give up its empire, world domination.

World media portrays Palestinians as victims in struggle. The world believes in a lie! The truth is the fact Palestinians were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into Palestine without pay during the British colonial rule. They bred like rabbits and occupied the Jewish lands. The Palestinian authority is not a state, and misleads the Palestinians to a path of destruction. Palestinians are irrational, bad, irresponsible, unmotivated and useless people. They would rather be classified as refugees so that they can get everything free through international aid, they would not go to Arab lands to build its own Palestinian state and make a life of their own.

Any country who shares destiny with corrupt countries will certainly come to RUIN!!!
