    About this ebook

    All of Christ's provision is imparted to us through grace. Unfortunately, too much of Christianity only emphasizes grace as an entrance into initial salvation. Satan's number one tactic for retarding spiritual growth is condemnation. We cannot stand against the spiritual warfare directed towards walking as sons without a solid revelation of grace filling our hearts. The satanic intent is to always make us the issue. But it's not about us at all; it's about who the Lord Jesus Christ is to us and in us.

    As we grow into spiritual maturity God Himself sees to it that we have a revelation of what we are in our adamic natures. This is not a pleasant experience, and satan takes advantage of it. God has condemned the flesh nature. A true walk with God begins with a new birth. Christianity is fraught with teaching on being "born again." The teachings degenerate very quickly, however, into a mixture of grace and works. Satan sows the seed of unworthiness into this mixture. No one will walk as a mature son who has not first learned the horrors of the adamic nature and overcome that nature through the grace of God. It is only through grace that God is glorified.

    The following are three definitions of grace this book explores:

    Grace is the wonderful, mystical, mysterious means by which God creates Himself in us.

    Grace is the vehicle by which all of God's righteousness is transferred to us.

    Grace is divine enabling as expressed by Paul in 1st Cor. 15:10:

    "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me."

      Grace - Roger Dixon

      Faith

      Introduction

      This book is to prepare us to walk as sons. There is one basic truth that must be incorporated into our lives before we can stand against the spiritual warfare that comes against walking as a mature son in Christ. The foundation of sonship is that it is always about who the Lord Jesus Christ is in us and to us, not about us individually. All of the satanic deception that wars against sons coming into maturity is related to worthiness. Impartation and appropriation are the true means by which we come into all that God has for us. Both impartation and appropriation are operations of our faith. We learn to receive from the Lord on the basis of His worthiness, never our own. He imparts and we appropriate. This is the revelation of grace.

      It’s imperative that we learn the following basic premise of sonship and satan’s battle against it: We stand on the basis of God’s word in our lives, never on our own personal worthiness. Satan’s strongest weapon against us is condemnation. We never excuse our flesh nature but we must never be stopped by it either. This again is the revelation of grace. From spiritual infancy to mature sonship, spiritual growth will always be according to Eph. 2:

      8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

      9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

      Grace must be understood as God’s plan for ensuring that the disobedience of Adam and Eve never occurs again. How is this accomplished? Grace becomes the vehicle through which God’s own nature is formed in us. This formation of His nature in us ensures against future defeat like that of Adam and Eve’s. The Lord Himself becomes the victory in us. This is in accordance with Rom. 8:

      3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

      4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

      The victory of the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal victory over sin and death. His victory can only live in us through grace. The following are three definitions of grace this book explores:

      Grace is the wonderful, mystical, mysterious means by which God creates Himself in us.

      Grace is the vehicle by which all of God’s righteousness is transferred to us.

      Grace is divine enabling as expressed by Paul in 1st Cor. 15:10:

      "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me."

      All Scripture is taken from the New American Standard Bible unless otherwise stated. Capitalized passages indicate quotes from the Old Testament.

      Why Grace?

      Why is our salvation through grace? Why isn’t it based on the legalism of the Old Testament law? The obvious answer is that mankind is incapable of attaining the righteousness of God in itself so Christ had to die that He might impart it to us. This is a true statement, but it goes deeper. The only guarantee God has against His people ever succumbing again to the temptations of the Garden of Eden is that He Himself becomes the victory in them. God’s people are literally to become a new race of people. This is accomplished through His grace, which enables them to become partakers of His righteousness.

      Every time we open our hearts to receive His grace towards us, something of His goodness and love is imparted to our spirits. This is how we change. After awhile, we find our love for God driving us to be pleasing to Him in every aspect of our lives. This is what Paul meant in
