Jesus Completed His Work.
Jesus came to earth to do a work. did He go back to His Father with the work He was sent to accomplish unfinished? No.
Jesus perfectly accomplished His work, Jesus left nothing undone or incomplete, Jesus left nothing unfinished or deficient, Jesus left nothing unaccomplished or lacking, His work was totally sufficient.
Since Jesus paid it all; nothing needs to be added to His finished work. Jesus + nothing = Grace!
So the message of Grace is about resting in what Jesus has already done, and not laboring to receive or to somehow gain or maintain salvation. It was finished by Jesus!
The Grace Message stands in contrast to man-made religious doctrines that are more works and law oriented than Grace oriented. Many church-going-people believe the Grace message in part, but when you scrutinize their rule and regulation keeping we find that Bible reading, prayer, meeting attendance, tithing, church going...etc, you find that they often practice the law and question people who do not measure up to expectations...expectations expected from man’s interpretation of the Bible communicated by the preacher.
