Page 47 - SoulWinning Crash Course

soul requires a continuous supply of grace throughout one's life. That is not
the case at all. The grace that saves is given in a single moment when you
are born again. After that, you do need grace for various needs in life (2
Corinthians 9:8), but your salvation has already been accomplished, and in

light of that, being "fallen from grace" means to be cut off from supplies of
God's grace in general, not the grace that was "through faith" unto
salvation.

But in the context, there is even another explanation of the phrase "fallen
from grace."

Galatians 5:3-4 "For I testify again to every man that is circumcised [That

would include lost people.], that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ
is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the
law [i.e. in your minds]; ye are fallen from grace."

The context implies that the phrase "ye are fallen from grace" could be
directed at lost people,
in which case "from" is being misinterpreted. Proverbs 15:24 "The way of

life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath." You
can't leave hell once you're in it. So "depart from" means you were near it
and moved farther from it.

So "fallen from grace" doesn't mean you were IN grace and fell out. It
means you were close to it, as when you heard it preached, but did not
accept it.

God's "ways" are "higher" than our ways (Isaiah 55:9) and Jesus is "the
way...unto the Father" (John 14:6) "by grace" (Ephesians 2:8), so the
"grace" needed for salvation is "above," and those who trust in their works
have "fallen" from it.

Obey or believe?

Acts 5:32 "And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the
Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him."
