"My grace is sufficient for you: " Restoration or Jesus?


  • "Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man [Jesus] is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:  And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." Acts 13:38-39
  • "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."  Galatians 2:16
  • "And by him [Jesus] all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." Acts 13:39
  • "Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. Romans 4:4
  • "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?" Romans 11:35
  • "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Romans 4:5
  • "I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." Galatians 2:21
  • "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace." Galatians 5:4
  • "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:   Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
  • "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" Colossians 2:14
  • "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:" Romans 3:24
  • "Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin." Romans 3:20
  • "And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work." Romans 11:6
  • "Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith." Romans 3:27
  • "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." Romans 3:28
  • "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
  • "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12
  • "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 9:9

 
Who are we going to believe, Jesus Christ or men that say His shed blood was insufficient to guarantee eternal life with God by saying MORE needed to be done?  The need for a "restoration" mocks what Christ did and denies the sufficiency of His sacrifice.


  • "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: " 2 Corinthians 12:9
  • "It is finished." John 19:30
