Until the day of Pentecost, the ministry of the Jesus Christ and his disciples began with the lost sheep of the house of Israel and then expanded to include Acts 1:8 as many as the Lord our God shall call.

At Acts 2:1-4, the call was no longer to the gospel period but to the age of grace.

Jesus Christ fulfilled the law, thus the age of grace could begin.

Our righteousness does not come from doing the law, but by the grace of God through Christ.


Please define the "age of grace" if not the same as any other age where God displayed His grace, irrespective of the written law.

Please define the "age of grace" if not the same as any other age where God displayed His grace, irrespective of the written law.

Indeed, God's grace has been evident througout the ages.

Genesis 1:1 is the first evidence of this grace. We did not earn anything that God created or did for us, but he did it for us anyway.

It is this age of grace where grace not the law is the underlying principle.

We are not saved by our works of the law, but by the grace of God. Ephesians 2:8-9

Ephesians 3:2 This is not the age or dispensation where the law of Moses reigns supreme. It is the works of Jesus Christ that made available for us to serve God completely with God's gracious goodness.

We are not told to be strong in the law but in grace.

2 Timothy 2:1

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

All you have to do is keep reading.


1 Corinthians 15:11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

1 Corinthians 15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?


Of course Peter preached that Christ rose from the dead, to sit on David's throne.

He's sitting on it now (Gal 4:26).
